Monthly cost hurdle
Turnover includes all entry and exit fills. This omits funding, borrowing, taxes, price losses, and other operating costs. It does not forecast returns.
The calculation
Subscription + total traded notional × (fee bp + slippage bp) ÷ 10,000.
A worked example
$30 subscription + $100,000 turnover × 10 bp = $130. On $5,000 of capital, covering these selected costs requires 2.6% per month.
Model limits
