Do losing trades incur commissions?

Every applicable fill has its trading charge

Yes. Perpify applies market-specific entry and exit commissions whether the trade wins, loses or breaks even. Fees are attached to execution, not only to profitable results. The previous 3% winning-trade profit fee is no longer the trading fee model.

Entry and exit are separate events

Opening a position incurs the applicable entry charge. Closing all or part of it incurs the applicable exit charge for that fill. Several partial closes can therefore produce several fee entries. Compare the total filled quantity and schedule, not simply the number of positions shown in history.

For supported equivalent instruments, Perpify uses scaled NinjaTrader Free-plan standard-contract benchmarks. Unmatched perpetual markets use disclosed maker/taker notional fees. These are simulated charges; they do not mean your trade was executed on CME or that you paid an actual exchange's commission.

Costs and net PnL

A trade with zero gross price-movement profit can still have a net loss after entry/exit costs and funding. A losing trade's fees increase its net loss and reduce account balance and risk capacity. Funding may be a credit or debit and is distinct from a commission.

Where to verify the amount

Check the Fees page for the selected market and the posted execution history for actual charged fills. An order estimate is not a guaranteed final total: filled quantity, partial executions and the genuine depth available can affect the result.

Posted commissions are already included in net performance profit used for payout eligibility. They must not be subtracted again at payout. If a charge seems duplicated, collect the account, order and fill references and ask support to reconcile them before drawing conclusions from a headline PnL figure.
