Commisisons Not considered

I have my commissions calculating in my analyzer and the check box to include them, but they are not being considered when figuring profitability of a strategy. how is this done?

When you run the backtest are you setting Include Commissions to True?

Yes, and they are included in the results but not calculated as part of the NET profit. But I am really talking about the optimizer. The trades are not optimized with commissions as part of the equation.

I just tested and when optimizing for "max. net profit" commission is included in the calculation.
