Execution & Cost Transparency (5M)
Most backtests fabricate impossible returns by assuming zero fees and zero slippage. Zengtrade factors realistic market realities into every paper trade on Bitcoin:
- Spot Friction: Watch for sudden slippage during breakout moments. Use limit-if-touched orders where possible.
- Risk Guidance: Mandate hard limit-if-touched stop loss orders to mitigate execution slippage.
- 35 bps Friction Model: Exchange taker fee (10 bps) + maker fee (10 bps) + dynamic slippage buffer (15 bps).
