Frequently asked questions
What is slippage in trading?
Slippage is the difference between the price you intended and the price you actually got, often from entering late or during fast-moving markets. Across many trades it adds up to a real, recurring cost.
How does this calculator estimate my slippage cost?
It multiplies the signals you take per week by the pips you typically lose to late or missed entries and your value per pip, then projects that into a monthly and yearly figure.
Is a late entry the same as slippage?
They're closely related. Reaching a signal late means you enter at a worse price, which is a form of slippage. The calculator captures both late entries and signals you miss entirely.
How can I reduce slippage on Telegram signals?
The biggest lever is speed. Routing signals automatically in real time, instead of when you next check your phone, removes most of the late-entry cost.
Are these numbers exact?
No. They're an estimate based on your inputs, meant to show the scale of the cost so you can weigh it against the price of automating.
How does the cost compare to automating?
The calculator places your estimated yearly slippage next to MarketSync's yearly price, so you can see whether automating would pay for itself.
