Comissions not showing in results (Simulator)

[tradinghumble]

Hi, I'm new to NT and noticed that the comissions are showing zero in my results. I'm using the simulator and Mirus-Zen-Fire as data feed (sometimes IB).

I've setup the Comissions in Options but they are still now showing.

Hope someone can help me here. Thanks.

Hi,

I believe I just answered your question sent to support, but here it is again:

Commission can be included in your PnL calculations provided you have correctly configured NinjaTrader. Commission values can be defined for each connectivity provider per instrument and per instrument type.
Commission values are used in the following order:

• From the instrument if a commission value has been defined else
• From the instrument type if a commission value has been defined else
• No value is used since none have been defined

Please follow the instructions below to define commission values per instrument type:

• From within the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools > Options
• Select the tab "Commission"
• Click here for details on defining a commission values

Please follow the instructions below to define commission values per instrument:

• From within the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools > Instrument Manager
• Double click on the instrument you wish to add a commission value for
• Click on the "Misc" tab
• Click here for details on defining a commission values

Critical: Ensure that 'Apply commission to PnL calculations' is enabled under Tools > Options > General tab.

Thank You

Thanks - the "Apply Comissions" did it

Was so happy with my previous results LOL

I have been trying to get the comissions to show and have followed all of the pertinent directions, but it's still now showing in account performance as well as the pnl when flat field in chart trader.
Does ninjatrader need to be shut down and reopened for this to work?

If my RT charge is $4.80, from what I see i'd set 2.4/0 for the comission?

Thanks for any help.

Have you tried it $2.40/1?

Also do you have "Apply Commisions to PnL" check in Tools--> OPtions?

[tazmaan]

Yes, I have tried those two things Jessica. Neither have affected anything.
Have set them globally as well as per instrument, still not showing up.
Do I have to disconnect from zen-fire and reconnect (hope not). Only other thing I can think of.

Have you tried it $2.40/1?

Also do you have "Apply Commisions to PnL" check in Tools--> OPtions?

[tazmaan]

Hmm, a friend just told me he thought it won't work with past trades, is this true? So I will only see it in reports and pnl from this point foward?
Thanks

[NinjaTrader_Jessica]

That is correct the changes will not be reflected on past trades. They will only be reflected on trades made after the change.

[tazmaan]

Thanks, yes they are showing now, thanks

Can anyone explain the difference between 2.40/0 and 2.40/1 ?
Thank you.

Hi Viero,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader support forum!

2.4/0 - 2.40 commission on all units.

2.4/1 - 2.40 commission on 1 unit.
