Commissions in SIM

[cardis]

I am running Version 6 in SIM When I trade more than 1 contract I only get the commission for 1 contract applied to my PnL and to my Performance display. I have a commission of $2.25 per side enabled for both Futures and ZenFire in the Tools/Options/Commission drop down but the program does not seem to multiply the commission by the number of contracts. I also have the Apply Commissions to PnL box checked. What I am I doing wrong?

Hi Cardis,

Thank you for your note.

Can you send me a screenshot of your minimum commission set up and the comission levels. Most likely they are set up incorrectly. You can find this in the Instrument Manager, highlight the instrument, click Edit and then select the Misc tab of the Instrument Editor.

Please send it to [email protected] and refer to this post. Also put in the subject header 'For Vince'.

If you don't know how to generate a screenshot, you can follow the instructions from below:

Commissions in SIM

The problem is now solved and the commissions are calculated and presented correctly. Trader Vince in Tech support provided some links which helped solve this problem for me. As you can see they are in the Help Guide (which I should have read more carefully). I attach them here for reference:

As usual many thanks to tech support.
