When using the sim for trading and if I have imput the commissions, the net gain or loss includes the commissions. However when I am trading live, even though I have commissions imput, the gain or loss does not include commissions. Am I missing something? Is there a way to have the commissions included?? I am using 6.5 Beta.
Thanks

Do you have the "Apply commission to PnL calculations" checked? Tools->Options

Make sure you also have commissions set for all live connection technologies that you are using.

Yes I have the general tab checked for "Apply Commission..." and I have the amount of the commissions set in the Commission futures tab.
As I stated, the calculations are correct in simulation but not with my actual account.
Any ideas???

Could you elaborate -
- What brokerage technology
- Could you post a screen shot of your commission set up for this technology
- Where is the commission not accurate? Performance Tab? Accounts Tab?
Thanks

This was already discussed and acknowledged in the beta forum I believe, here: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/vb/showthread.php?t=4512
