What the Calculator Measures

Gross profit can look attractive while transaction friction consumes a meaningful part of the result. This tool combines the major cost categories into one net figure and shows how much of the gross result survives.

Fee Drag Formula

Total Costs = Spread + Commission + Slippage + Holding Cost
Net Profit = Gross Profit − Total Costs
Fee Drag = Total Costs ÷ Gross Profit × 100

Why Short-Term Gold Trades Are Cost Sensitive

A strategy targeting a small price movement may have a very different economics after spread and commission than its chart-based gross result suggests. Comparing net rather than gross outcomes helps distinguish attractive-looking trades from trades with excessive friction.
