Commissions do not show in summary report.

[davewolfs]

What exactly do I need to configure for my comissions to show for the instruments that I am trading.

Say for example, my commission for a particular instrument was $4 per round turn, where would I define this?

Hi Davewolfs,

Thank you for your post.

Global commissions can be set in the Commissions tab of the Options menu.
For more information, please see the following link: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/CommissionTab.html

Instrument specific commissions can be set within the Instrument Manager.

I've defined a commission level of 2.2 for 0 units and nothing shows in the report. When I tried entering the value in the general options instead of the instrument manager i received an error stating that Ninja Trader needs to be shut down.

For the time being, how can I get my commissions to be calculated from all trades initiated through the super dom?

Hi davewolfs,

Thank you for your reply.

So long as commissions are set up within the commissions tab, no additional configuration need take place.

Please note that depending on the provider you are connecting to, commissions may or may not be added. For more information, please see the following link: http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/vb/showthread.php?t=5474

I am using a simulation account. Based on the link these should be calculated.

So there is no way for me to determine commissions when using a zenfire account?

Hi davewolfs,

Thank you for your reply.

1.) When using the simulated account, commissions should be calculating.

2.) Cash Vale and Realized PnL will exclude commissions in the case of Zen-Fire, correct.

Well it doesn't seem to be working...
