[User Discussion] - How to display current P/L on chart minus commission

I enter a bracket order by market and currently have a take profit (limit order) and a stop loss (market order) order on the chart.

I want to be able to deduct commission so I see the take profit and stop loss values as they actually are, rather than the point value for the product.

Example:
NQ
10 points on 1 contract = $20 per point * 10 points = $200.
RT commission = $2.97
$200 - $2.97 = $197.03

I want $197.03 displayed instead of $200 on the take profit line on the chart.

Is this possible? I searched the forum and can't find an answer.

There is not a way to display the P/L on the Order Lines that includes the Commission.

You can see the commissions taken into account on the Trade Activity Log. Refer to the following regarding Commissions:
