Trade fee formulas use a simple language (a modified version of the PHP programming language) to specify how fees should be assessed in PropReports.  

A "Per Order" formula runs once for every order (ticket) and the result is saved as the fee on the last fill of each.  PropReports groups executions into orders based on the Order Id. 

The formula will NOT run for any orders that contain an execution with fees manually set.  Canceled executions or those with a status that is not regular are disregarded.

(warning) Important: Make sure the Formula Type is set to "Per Order" when creating a plan.

The following variables are available when creating a Per Order formula:
