IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE GETTING STARTED

• ALWAYS monitor your NET P&L in R|Trader rather than NinjaTrader by clicking on Trader Dashboard, and locating the column labeled PNL. R|Trader automatically calculates commissions and fees, while NinjaTrader does not display your Net P&L accurately in real time. MES Capital’s Trade Reports are calculated using the data from R|Trader.

• SIM101 trades will NOT be sent to us. Please be sure to trade in the correct account (found in Account Information email).
