Hello MikeB:

Thank you for your post.

Go to Tools--> Instrument Manager--> Highlight the instrument in the middle section and click Edit. This will bring up the Instrument Editor.

In the Editor select the Misc tab and enter the commission in the appropriate field and click OK.



Then go to Tools--> Options-->Commission tab and also enter the commission. (This will set the commission for every instrument you trade for your account)



Last step, go back to Tools--> Options and now select the General tab and make sure that 'Apply Commissions to P/L Calculations' is checked.
