Using the Simulated Futures Trading Service the Trade Activity Log correctly picks up the commission values from Symbol Settings.
However Account Balance is calculated using the value set in Trade Fee per Contract. As this is a global value it is not possible to allow for different contracts having different commissions.
I understand that Account Balance can be adjusted manually but ask the question:
Is it possible to have Account Balance calculation based on the commission set in Symbol Settings?
Please advise

You actually can now edit the trade fee per individual contract. This can be done from here:

Just set it differently for the particular contracts you want to be set differently.

Is it possible to have Account Balance calculation based on the commission set in Symbol Settings?
No.
