Commission on chart different than Trade Activity Log

I recently changed the commission amount in the symbol settings. When I view it in the Trade Activity Log it appears to be updated and calculating everything correctly based on the new amount that I entered. It is not updating and using this new commission on the order fills on the chart. I also have the 'trading profit/loss' study on one of my charts and it is calculating the commissions based on the previous value that I had.

What do I need to do to have my charts use the same commission amount as the trade activity log? Must be a setting somewhere.

Please advise,

Thanks.

Disregard. When I refreshed the charts it went into effect. Thank you.

Ok one last thing. The charts are including my commissions but only when I am flat. When there is an open P&L it is calculating everything without commissions. My other chart didn't do this.

I've changed the commission amount in the symbol settings and I've also put 'use symbol commission setting' to yes under chart settings/trading.

Like I said once I'm flat it calculates the commission accurately but I need it to calculate commissions when I have an open P&L.


How can I fix this?


Thanks.

The Open Profit/Loss value does not include the commission.
