Trade Cost Estimator

The fee table says 0.03%; the fill says otherwise. For a real order size, this instrument reads the tape — how much of the day’s volume you are, what the spread likely takes, and when the right move is a phone call, not a market order.

Volume & price are primary data · spread is a liquidity-band model, stated as an estimate
