    Since 1/11/2006, the account has made $6,089 before commission/slippage, or $1,741 after the commission/slippage. The average net %return per trade after the fees is 0.24%. Nasdaq has -2.8% drop since 1/11/06.

  8. If I may ask, what assumption are you making for slippage? At first glance it looks high.

    The 0.6 for commission/slippage is bit high, but I want to be on the conservative side. My real-time trading results are lower than that. For volatile stocks, it is near 0.6%. For stocks with big volumes, it is near 0.3% or even lower. What are your results?
