Incorrect comission calculation?

[Skechers]

Hello,

I printed out the information from the Trade object in OnPositionUpdate.

Print( "Profit Ticks " + CurrentTrade.ProfitTicks + " Profit $" + CurrentTrade.ProfitCurrency + " Commission " + CurrentTrade.Commission );

I get: Profit Ticks 8.064 Profit $12.6 Commission $4.92

8 ticks is $1.25 * 8 * 3 (contracts) = $30. How did it get to $12.6 from $30? That's almost a 50% commission margin.

The comission rate structure (I have a lifetime license) is all in $ 2.04 one way, so $ 4.08 round trip.

So it should be $30 - $4.08 = $25.92

Am I miscalculating?

I am running this in simulation mode, would that make a differrence? (It really shouldn't).

Many Thanks, Caesar.

Hello Skechers,

Thanks for your patience.

What Commission template is applied to the Sim101 account?

What Risk template is applied to the Sim101 account?

To view the Commission template and Risk template applied to the Sim101 account, navigate to the Accounts tab of the Control Center, right click on the Sim101 account, choose 'Edit account', and note the Commission filed and 'Risk' field.

If this is a default NinjaTrader Commission template or Risk template, has it been modified?

Please send me a screenshot of the commission settings and risk settings for this specific instrument in the selected template. (Hover the mouse over the Commission field and Risk field, select 'view' next to the template being used.

Hello Skechers,

Thanks for your note.

Has the default Commission template or Risk template been modified?

What instrument is being used? (ES 12-22, NQ 12-22, AAPL, etc)

Also, please click 'View' next to the Commission template and Risk template and send a screenshot of the commission information and risk information for that specific instrument.

I look forward to assisting further.

Hello Brandon,

Templates have not been modified, I have no idea how.

Insrument is MES-12. Screenshots as requested.

Many Thanks, Caesar.

Hello Skechers,

Thanks for that information.

In the screenshots you shared, I see that the Commission template is set to 'NinjaTrader Brokerage Direct' and you stated you have a Lifetime License Key.

Since you have a Lifetime License Key, you would need to change the Commission template to 'NinjaTrader Brokerage Lifetime' to reflect the proper commissions.

See the attached screenshot.

And, see this help guide page: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ommissions.htm

Let me know if I may assist further.

Hello Brandon,

Aaah mystery solved! I've applied the template. The commission shows $0.56 which is correct.

Many Thanks, Caesar.

Hello there, I'm not sure if this is configured incorrectly by me or the amounts have changed?

The comission for MES was previously $0.56. It is now $0.61?

I've attached screenshots of what I have.

What did I miss?

Many Thanks, Caesar.

Hello Caesar,

Thanks for your notes.

Commissions can change over time. The PDF linked below should always be up-to-date and lists $0.61 for the MES commissions under 'Lifetime'.
