About
Trading cryptocurrency involves more than just buying low and selling high. Exchange fees, spread, and slippage significantly impact net realized profit. A trader ignoring a 0.1% maker fee and a 0.1% taker fee on a high-frequency strategy often miscalculates their edge.
This tool models the exact outcome of a trade by accounting for entry and exit costs. It determines the Break-Even Price - the precise value the asset must reach to cover all transaction costs before generating a single cent of profit. It supports both Long (buy-hold-sell) and Short (sell-high-buy-low) strategies, essential for traders operating in bear markets.
Formulas
The calculator uses strict fee deduction logic. For a Long position, the fee reduces the initial capital available for purchasing coins.
Where I is the investment amount, fin is the buy fee percentage, and fout is the sell fee percentage.
For Short positions, the logic inverts. The profit is derived from the price difference relative to the borrowed asset, minus fees on both the opening sale and closing repurchase.
