How to get commissions in script?

[wbennettjr]

How do I get the commissions and (un)realized profit/loss in a script?

Also, the Strategy Performance window, the Strategies tab and the Accounts tab of the main window have a couple of issues relating to commissions.

• The tabs do not have a column for commissions
• The Strategy Performance window does not include commissions in the "Total net profit"

I think Realized Profit should include commissions - that is the actual profit. If not, both the tabs and window should have additional columns to show what the actual profit is (profit + loss - commissions). I did an add of "loss" since it shows as negative in the Strategy Performance window.

Hello wbennettjr,

The commission is not applied to the trade until the trade is closed. Using Position.GetProfitLoss() would return the current unrealized PnL without the commissions.

You could choose to add this your self with a calculation as the commission for the order can be captured in OnExecution with the execution.Commission.

Below is a link to a video that shows where you can find commissions in the Strategy Performance report.

Thanks for the help Chelsea,

It seems I was mistaken. After digging into it a bit more, I found that the realized PnL does include commissions. The Accounts tab has a "Total commissions" column as well.

Position.GetProfitLoss is for NT7 - in NT8 it is Position.GetUnrealizedProfitLoss.

How do I get the Realized PnL? I'm looking at doing what the Market Analyzer column does. Is there an easier way?

How do I add new columns to the Strategies tab?

Hello wbennettjr,

To find the realized PnL of the last trade.

 Performance.AllTrades[Performance.AllTrades.Count - 1].ProfitCurrency

With the columns, you can enable and disable columns. You will not be able to add custom columns.
To enable / disable columns:

• Right-click the grid -> select Grid -> select Properties
• Check or uncheck columns you want to see or not see -> click OK
