I would like to know if it is possible to configure the GLOBAL PROFIT/LOSS as follows:

Currently I have set a target of $ 200, but if the commission per trade is $ 5 and I make 4 trades before reaching my target, it is reduced to $ 180 ($ 200-$ 20 (commissions))

Is it possible for the target to be updated based on the commissions generated?

In the previous example the target should have increased to $ 220 so that the net profit would have been $ 200 as I want it to be

thank you!

If you want to include commissions in the calculation of profit/loss values, then for the charts being used in the calculation which you can tell from this tab:
Trade Activity Log: Trade Statistics for Charts (Chart Stats) Tab

you will then want to enable this option:
Chart Settings: Use Symbol Commission Setting in Trade List and Statistics Calculations (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)
