Hello,


SC : 1973 + Interactive Brokers

When checking the "Use Commission" checkbox, commissions don't appear in Trade Activity Log, from today's trades as well as earlier in 2019, for the real account (IB) and the simulated one.
Don't appear anymore in PL on charts and trade window.
Nothing in statistics either.

What's happening ?
I set the appropriate round turn commission in the Symbol Settings, did not change anything : tried ES / MES / DAX / CL.
Could you help please ?
Worked fine for monthes / years till end of July.

Thank you in advance

Most likely you did not enable the Use Custom Symbol Settings Values on the Global Settings >> Symbol Settings window.

Refer to the following for enabling Commissions, particularly the links to the section on Use Custom Symbol Settings Values:
Trade Activity Log: Use Commission



To enable the commission in charts, you need to enable this setting in Chart Settings:
Chart Settings: Use Symbol Commission Setting in Trade List and Statistics Calculations (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

Having same issue. Commission shows up in the Daily P/L on DOM, "D:" but not in the Cummul P/L on Trade Activity Log.
For example an ES trade. 1.5pt gain shows at 1.42P on DOM with $4Rt comm but Cummul P/L on Trade Activity Log is still full $75.
Thoughts?

First thing is to check that the Use Commission option on the Trade Activity Log is checked. Refer to the information here:

Hello,

I have a similar issue where commissions shows zero in the Trade Activity Log.
Both options below are checked:
Checked: Use Custom Symbol Settings Values on the Global Settings >> Symbol Settings window
Checked: Use Commission option on the Trade Activity Log

I'd appreciate your input.
Thanks

Do you have a Commission Value entered in the Symbol Settings?
