Trades export with commissions

I have set the commissions for my instrument in Global Settings >> Symbol Settings (also ticked the box "Use Custom Symbol Settings Value")

In Trade >> Trade Activity Log, I ticked the box "Use Commission"

And when I look at the "Statistics", I can see commissions have been correctly applied, but when I then go on and export my fills, there is no information on the commissions exported.

Did I do something wrong or is the export functionality just not including this on purpose?

Thanks for your help

You state that you are exporting your order fills, so these will not have any commission information associated with them.

The order fills do not have any P/L information in them. They are just the specific trades that took place. These fills are combined in the other pages for the log to actually give you the P/L. Since they do not have any P/L themselves, there is no commission that can be applied.
