slippage

Useful Statistics

Calculated the latest statistics on slippage in American futures since the beginning of the year. Let me remind you, that only the execution of stop orders is considered. Sometimes it happened to play market orders and limit orders, but I didn’t take it all into account — stop orders only. General impression, basically, happened — my goal was to determine how much to roughly expose the costs of a futures portfolio when testing on historical data — now I see that the generally accepted established standard is quite suitable, such as, на futures truth — 75 dollars per circle is quite normal. I generally, exhibiting 100 dollars per circle, since you still need to take into account the transitions from one month's contract to another, what often have to be done. Think, I will not continue to keep statistics, because, basically, and so everything is already clear.

so

System no. 1 It was 296 transactions, slippage $18.49
System # 2 was 156 transactions, slippage $28,59
System No. 3 was 64 transactions, slippage $10,44
System # 4 had 117 transactions, slippage $30,56

Total, in general, all systems were 633 transactions, slippage $22,40
It was not all round, but for a separate transaction. To count on a circle, must be multiplied by two 22,40 * 2 = $44,80

Also, counted for individual futures. Deals, Really, separately for each futures, Little, but the general impression can be made::

Intermediate Slippage Statistics.

Since the beginning of the year, I have been keeping statistics on slippage of futures instruments when opening / closing a position using a stop order. Everything on my sheet 37 futures.

  • Since the beginning of the year there have been 82 transactions.
  • IN 44 cases there was slippage.
  • IN 5 cases there was negative slippage, that is, in favor of the trader.
  • Average slippage per trade in dollars — 21,62
  • Average slippage in one trade in ticks — 2,48

This is not a circle, but for a transaction. That is, to find out in a circle, must be multiplied by 2. We get approximately 44 dollar or 5 Ticks. If we add about 6 dollars or 1 tick on commission, then we get that when testing systems for a portfolio of futures, it is necessary to take into account the costs in one transaction 50 dollars per circle, or 6 Ticks.

Most Outstanding Slips (>50 Dollars) Were:

  • Coffee — (281.25)  (56.25)  (56.25)

Calculated the real slippage for one contract on futures on the short-term system from those data, who stayed in Ninza, but stayed, unfortunately not all data.

All in all — 10 dollars per contract one way.
