You have to get that from the broker. We do not have the information. We have set this as a User Discussion, as others may be able to give you information from their personal experience about different brokers. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Wait, you're wrong! You have several tabs: where are the lines about commissions, but where is the value set to 0? These are the Symbol settings and the inactive Manage window in the Trade Account Monitor. Why don't you have any information there? It's up to you to answer, not the users!

For the built-in Simulation Mode, and for live trading you can set a Round Trip Commission value for all symbols or on a per symbol basis. To set a single Round Turn Commission, refer to the following: Global Symbol Settings: Use Global Round Turn Commission (Global Settings >> Symbol Settings) To set a commission per symbol, you need to edit the symbol and enter the value you want in the "Round Turn Commission". Refer to the following: Global Symbol Settings: Instructions In either case, in order to view the actual commissions on your Trade Activity Log, you need to set the option for the Trade Activity Log for "Use Commission" to "Yes". Refer to the following: Trade Activity Log: Use Commission Also refer to the following setting: Chart Settings: Use Symbol Commission Setting in Trade List and Statistics Calculations (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) Again, for Live Trading the actual fees and commissions from your broker are not known, therefore they are not reflected in the system. The above information is for you to set the values to see how it will affect your trades. -- If you are using our Simulated Futures Trading Service, then you can setup Commissions and Fees in two separate places as well, but it works a little different from the Built-In Simulation Mode described above. When editing an account for the Simulated Futures Trading Service, there is an entry for "Trade Fee Per Contract (one side)" on the "Main" page. You can enter your set fees and/or commissions here. On the "Symbol Commissions" page is where you can setup symbol specific commissions. Refer to the following for how to setup/edit an account for the Simulated Futures Trading Service: Simulated Futures Trading Service: Setup Instructions Fees and Commission values entered in the Simulated futures Trading Service do not show on the Trade Activity Log. But they are reflected in the Account Balance on the "Trade Account Monitor".
