Live Sim PnL Shows Commissions, Live Doesn't

[Teancum]

I've been Trading on Live Simulator and made my first trades today (both positive ).

During simulation I was able to see net PnL with commissions calculated correctly.

When I go to Live trading, when the trade is in process the PnL shows after-commission figures, but when the trade is finished ("flat"), the PnL shows Gross amount (without commissions).

I've set commissions in Tools > Options > Commissions (NT Continuum) and have checked the "Apply Commissions to PnL Calculations" (see attached image).

Please advise what I should check next. Thank you.

p.s. after submitting I noticed that the live update is just showing commissions for 1 of the two contracts I'm trading.

Hello,

When you are trading live, the PnL information displayed in Chart Trader comes directly from the API of the data connection that you are using. This means that if the data provider is not sending the post-commission numbers to NinjaTrader, you will unfortunately not be able to see it here. This most likely explains the discrepancy you are seeing.

I have provided a link below that goes over the information available from each provider/brokers API.
