No commissions when using SC Data feed?

I've run into issues with the TransAct data feed when using Replay, so I'm trying on the SC Data feed which appears to work better for my needs. However for some reason no commissions are ever accounted for when using SC Data. They show up fine when doing backtesting on the TransAct feed.

Symbol settings are set to use global default of 4.40 roundtrip commission. I also tried setting the default commission for the symbol itself (RTY) but that made no difference either. I have also tried using the "Use Symbol Commission Setting in Trade List and Statistics Calculations" option, again no change. All commissions are zero if I'm on the SC Data feed. Any idea why?

Figured it out. The SC Data feed uses a different symbol convention so running it on my existing RTY chart wasn't behaving properly. Commissions are properly appearing now.
