Commissions

Customization of commissions to reflect your broker's fee structure allows for more accurate P&L calculations, helping you to better manage your trading costs.

Managing Commissions Per Specific Instrument

Specific instruments include YM, NQ, ES, RTY, etc.

Select the instrument and click on the 'Edit' option to modify the commissions for a specific instrument.

Enter the commissions of your broker, then click "OK."

It is important to note that any commissions entered for specific instruments will override settings for that instrument's type. For example, setting instrument-specific commissions for the E-Mini S&P 500 futures contract will override any commissions set for all Futures instruments.
