Execution & Cost Transparency (1H)
Most backtests fabricate impossible returns by assuming zero fees and zero slippage. Zengtrade factors realistic market realities into every paper trade on ZKsync:
- Spot Friction: Requires dual-leg execution. Watch liquidation risk on the short perpetual leg during sudden upward squeezes.
- Risk Guidance: Trail stop loss at the previous 1-hour swing pivot once trade reaches 1R profit.
- 35 bps Friction Model: Exchange taker fee (10 bps) + maker fee (10 bps) + dynamic slippage buffer (15 bps).
