What's Inside

A per-broker spread log across your actual trading hours, not the marketed 'from' figure
Commission and overnight financing (swap) fields
A slippage observation log for fast-moving conditions
A total-cost-per-100-trades estimate, for comparing frequency-sensitive strategies

Figures are provided by you and are illustrative only. Actual costs vary by broker, account type, and instrument — always confirm current terms with your own broker.
