Explicit commissions
Trade Math uses commissions entered in the form. Before a trade they may be expected costs; after execution, replace them with actual costs when available.
Special costs kept separate
Exercise, assignment, settlement and other special costs stay separate from ordinary commissions when the model treats them differently.
Margin is not a cost
Margin is collateral required for a position. It is not a commission and does not automatically cap losses.
Simplified tax
Where shown, tax is a simplified simulation and does not replace actual tax calculation.
