How to add commission to stock symbols, SPY specifically?

Hello,

I want the trade activity log to track the commissions for me when I trade the SPY ETF. I cannot find this symbol under global symbol settings and when I try to create it there it never actually has any impact on the Trade Activity Log. I am with Interactive Brokers if it makes any difference.

How can I make this work?

Thanks,

You will need to add that symbol. Here are instructions:

We see that you said that you have added it to the Global Symbol Settings but just go through the instructions to be sure you have done that right.

And after any changes you have made to the Round Turn Commission setting in the Global Symbol Settings you need to go to the Trade Activity Log and select Edit >> Refresh Log.

I figured it out, I changed the setting for the ticker by opening it from the Chart setting > Edit Global Symbol Setting.
