Most backtests fabricate impossible returns by assuming zero fees and zero slippage. Zengtrade factors realistic market realities into every paper trade on Optimism:
- Spot Friction: Excellent trend filter that avoids choppy chop periods at the expense of slightly delayed entries.
- Risk Guidance: Avoid holding open intraday scalps across major macroeconomic releases.
- 35 bps Friction Model: Exchange taker fee (10 bps) + maker fee (10 bps) + dynamic slippage buffer (15 bps).
