Showing Commissions in NT8

Searched for this but couldn't find it.

I'm trying to set up NT8 to show commissions in my account/log but don't quite understand it and the online manual isn't clear to me.

I assume this is where I set up commissions. Under the 'edit commission' there is a 'minimum commission' and 'per-unit commission'. The round turn commission will be $4.44, so I assume that's that goes under 'minimum commission'. But I don't get the 'per-unit commission' and what should go there and assume that's all I do. Any help would be appreciated.

One more question, once set up, will they show up retroactively, or just from the point I put them in?

Minimum should be 0
Per-Unit is half the round turn.So in your example it would be 2.22

Just from the point you put them in AND assign it to the account. Right click on the account, select edit account and there will be a selection to assign the commission to the account.

Tools-->Commissions
  • Either edit one of the templates or add your own
  • Add your instrument and its commissions. I have the same commissions both for Minimum Commission and Per-unit commission

Now go to Accounts tab -->Right click on the desired account-->Edit account...
Under Commission, from the drop-down select the template you populated earlier




That should do it.

I don't know, best to ask NT Support

EDIT: TradingOgre was quicker

Can't find this. The account tab at the bottom by Postions, Log, etc? If I right click on that there isn't an option for the account name. Just options like Close Tab, Rename, etc. This is just for a practice account, not a live one.

Yes. Click the tab called "Accounts" then right click your trading account.
