At the top of the Trade Activity Log, for clarity you really need to select a specific symbol instead of "All Symbols". That may not be the issue but do that anyway. This is also from the documentation: Since this is a round turn commission, it applies for every 2 units of the total filled quantity for a Trade. Therefore, if you set a Round Turn Commission of 1.00 and you buy and sell 10 shares or contracts, then this will be a total quantity traded of 20. The commission will be 10 in this case and the amount will be deducted from the Profit/Loss reducing the profit and increasing the loss.
In the case of stock shares where the quantities are much higher than futures, you need to take this into consideration when determining the commission value. For example, you may want to set a commission of .01 which would apply per share. So a trade of 1000 shares would have a commission of 10. If there are any changes to the commission value in the Global Symbol Settings window, then to see these changes applied to the Profit/Loss calculations, select Edit >> Refresh Log on the Trade Activity Log menu when the Trade Activity tab is selected.
