Trading costs are small individually and decisive cumulatively. Knowing exactly what each trade costs is basic hygiene that most beginners skip.

The spread is the entry fee

The difference between buy and sell price is paid on every position the moment it opens. Tighter spreads on major pairs are why beginners should avoid exotic instruments.

High frequency styles multiply spread costs by trade count. Fewer, better trades keep more of every win.

Swaps are the holding fee

Positions held overnight earn or pay a swap based on interest rate differentials. Held for weeks, swaps can quietly rival the trade's profit target.

Check the swap schedule for any strategy that holds positions for days, including strategies you copy.

Costs and copy trading

Copied trades pay the same spreads and swaps as manual ones. A credible strategy's track record already includes these costs.

Be wary of any performance claim that quotes gross results. Net of costs is the only number your balance ever sees.

Puntos clave

  • Every position opens slightly negative by the spread.
  • Swaps matter for any position held overnight.
  • Judge results net of all costs, never gross.
  • Trading leveraged products carries a high level of risk and can result in the loss of all invested capital. This article is educational and is not investment advice.
