Trading Costs: Where Your Edge Goes
SMALL PRICE · BIG VALUE · SHORT EDITION
A good price move is not the same as a net gain. This guide explains spreads (the gap between buy and sell prices), commission, slippage, overnight funding, currency conversion and the cost of tools, with invented numbers. It does not recommend a broker, account size or how often to trade.
What's inside
- Gross results, fills and the spread
- Commission, slippage and overnight funding
- Currency conversion, subscriptions and investment fees
- Break-even, comparing providers and checking statements
What you get
- A 17-page PDF with clickable contents, readable on phone, tablet or desktop
- Trading Cost Review Sheets (fillable) + blank cost inventory (CSV)
- Key terms in bold, explained in plain English, and sources listed at the back
