If you are setting up a commission rate for futures on NinjaTrader and you have a single rate, you would enter one commission level with the commission value and the units set to zero."

Hello,
This all is simulated, I'm doing some steps to move from algo trading to discretionary trading.
I created a simple ATM with 2 targets:
I traded on the chart today. I have two ATMs, one with just 1 contract stop 8 / target 40 and the other one with two targets (I move my stops and targets based on chart zones but I like to begin with something).
The issue is, NinjaTrader is showing a different comm. when entered with 2 targets and 1 target, this are my trades for today:
Anybody had this issue too? don't know how to handle it, these com. are attached directly to 6E instrument.
Thanks!,
BCN Trader

Had no time to test it yesterday (market close is 10-11pm on my timezone).
Unfortunately, today I lost internet connection for a while (exactly when I almost push the button to enter on my real account, scary), and had time to hit the "repair".. still says $3.69 on that one.
So, using the sim. I did trades with 1 target where com. is OK ($4.92) but 2 targets still say $3.69 (no matter if the trade is a loss/profit)... is really weird because $3.69 / 2 = $1.845... makes no sense...
I tested also to modify the "Order qty" on the ATM Strategy from 2 to 1 contract without changing the "2 targets" part. Doing that, the com. is OK, but just one contract is traded
Instrument:
On Tools -> Options -> Commission have the same number because I only trade 6E right now and want something if I test other instruments, I like to see at least some com. on my trades.
Is something that's not concerning me too much, I can live with it, I copy everyday my trades from IB to a spreadsheet to write comments on it (like a journal). Even if I trade with NT in the future, I will continue with my spreadsheet but is something too simple that I thought that I had something wrong on my config.
"IMPORTANT: If you are setting up a commission rate for futures and you have a single rate, you would enter one commission level with the commission value and the units set to zero."
I had just the "Minimum commission" filled, now I added the "commission level" with 0 contracts:
And, here we go (last 4 lines, 2 before / 2 after):
* In my first post I said 4.92 but is 4.94 round-trip actually.
Ok... sorry for that mistake, I knew it was just wrong config.
