Slippage depends on book depth and order size — high-frequency and large orders pay more — and exchange fees move with VIP tier.
How it's calculated
How cost is computed
- Entry fee = trade size × fee rate
- Slippage cost = trade size × slippage rate
- Round-trip cost = entry cost + exit cost (fees and slippage count twice)
- Total cost = cost per day × number of days
How the break-even move is computed
- (1 + move)(1 − slippage)(1 − fee) = (1 + slippage)(1 + fee)
- move = (1 + slippage)(1 + fee) ÷ ((1 − slippage)(1 − fee)) − 1
- That move already includes fees and slippage on both sides
- When the market moves less than that, trading more often is a guaranteed net loss
Slippage depends on order-book depth and order size, and is usually worse for high-frequency or large orders. Exchange fees change with VIP tier and token promotions. This is a static estimate.
