Hi Kelvid,

You might want to check out a great thread on this written by one of our users on this topic:

For $7 round-trip commission, use:

Comm type: 0 (money)
Base comm: 3.5 (one side)
Comm lots: 1 (per deal)

Of course, we recommend that if you want to get the exact settings from your broker, you can use this method to ensure all your settings (commission, symbol settings, etc) matches:

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Based on the link share, shouldn't be the Base comm: 7 per round trip?

[kelvid]

And the $7 round trip is for standard lot. So the setting for Commission per lot should be 0 instead of 1, right?

Hi Kelvid - that's correct. If it's "per lot" then comm type = 0.

How to set 2 per side per 100,000 traded of Tickmill?

Hi Xypaa,

Using the above-mentioned method of finding your broker settings, it seems Tickmill uses the following settings:

Base comm: 0.004
Comm type: 2
Comm lots: 0

If you are unsure if your terminal has the same settings, please use the method described above.

Thanks.
