Post From: Trading Commissions

I am using SC with Interactive Brokers and doing simulated trades. Interactive Brokers deducts the commission from my open trades so I am trying to get SC to also match up with my open IB balance. So if I place a trade and with the spread I am immediately down -$100 and my commission is -$5, then my total unrealized balance in IB would immediatly show as -$105. However, in SC the commission is not part of the unrealized balance so it only shows -$100.

I know I can add commissions in SC so they show up in the trade reports, but how do I have the commissions automatically deducted as part of my unrealized balance? Is this possible so that my open totals will match with IB? Thanks.
