Trading Information Window - Can't change wrong commission amount

Hello,
After many tries, I understand that the Daily Profit/Loss Amount in the Trade Account Monitor takes account of the Commission amount specified in the [Symbol Commissions] tab from the Edit trade Account window.
The commissions there are not what I get from Edge Clear. Some are more, some are just zero.
I tried many times to change that, however when I open the window again, the values have not changed.
So the Daily Profit/Loss value is incorrect.
Could you help please ?

Hello,
To be more specific :
As shown in the Tradelog, the Account Balance activity for each side of a trade is :
"Cash Balance update | Trade Fee: x.xx USD".
with x.xx the cost of each side (commission + NFA + Exchange fee).
These Trade Fees are set per contract.

The default values do not reflect the reality of the commissions I'm charged by the broker : some are more, other are just zero...
How can these Trade Fees be set ?
I can Update in the Account window, but the server won't let me Commit.
Thank you.

This value originates from the Teton order routing server on the Trade Account Monitor:
Daily Profit/Loss

The commissions are set by the clearing firm. They are only estimates and they are not always set. You cannot change them.
