EXECUTION COSTS
> Per-venue fee and slippage assumptions baked into the arb scanner and backtester
Round trip = 2 × taker (entry + exit) + 1 × slippage per leg. For a cash-and-carry pair long A / short B, total cost in bps is 2(takerA + takerB) + slipA + slipB.
Break-even APR over holding window H hours = cost / H × 8760. The scanner defaults to a 7-day (168h) benchmark.
Numbers are conservative estimates from each venue's public docs at the time the cost table was written — not authoritative. Tune before sizing real trades.
