Use when backtesting to ensure P&L accounts for transaction costs.\"\nwhen_to_use: \"Use when wiring realistic execution costs into a simulation after a strategy has already cleared basic cost-feasibility screening\"\ndependencies: [transaction-costs]\nmetadata:\n  book_chapters: \"18\"\n  library: \"ml4t-backtest\"\npaths: [\"**/*backtest*.py\", \"**/*strategy*.py\", \"**/*engine*.py\", \"**/*broker*.py\", \"**/*cost*.py\", \"**/*regime*.py\", \"**/*tearsheet*.py\"]\n---\n# Backtest Cost Model\n\nOnce a strategy passes the feasibility screen, the backtest engine still needs explicit cost settings. If commission, slippage, and impact are left at optimistic defaults, the simulation is still fiction.\n\n## The Problem\n\nMost mistakes at this stage are implementation mistakes: missing volume in the feed, flat slippage for every asset, or no participation cap on large orders. The result is a backtest that claims to include costs while still materially understating them.\n\n## The Pattern\n\n### WRONG\n```python\nimport numpy as np\n\n# Zero-cost backtest - fiction\npositions = compute_positions(signals)\ngross_returns = positions * asset_returns\nsharpe = gross_returns.mean() / gross_returns.std() * np.sqrt(252)  # overstated\n```\n\n### CORRECT\n```python\nimport numpy as np\n\ndef net_returns_with_costs(\n    weights: np.ndarray,     # target weight per BAR for ONE asset, not shares\n    asset_returns: np.ndarray,\n    prices: np.ndarray,\n    adv_shares: np.ndarray,  # average daily volume in shares, per bar\n    daily_vol: np.ndarray,   # daily return volatility, per bar\n    nav: float,\n    commission_bps: float = 1.0,\n    spread_bps: float = 5.0,\n    impact_coeff: float = 0.1,\n) -> np.ndarray:\n    \"\"\"Net returns after commission, spread and impact, all fractions of NAV.\n\n    One asset, arrays indexed by bar. For a panel, run this per asset and sum:\n    np.diff over a time-by-asset array differences neighbouring assets, not bars.\n    \"\"\"\n    gross = weights * asset_returns\n    traded_w = np.abs(np.diff(weights, prepend=0.0))  # traded fraction of NAV\n\n    # Fixed costs: commission + half-spread on the traded notional\n    fixed_cost = traded_w * (commission_bps + spread_bps / 2) / 10_000\n\n    # Impact eta*sigma*sqrt(Q/ADV) as written below: Q is in shares, so take\n    # the weight change through NAV and price before comparing it to ADV.\n    participation = np.where(adv_shares > 0, traded_w * nav / prices / adv_shares, 0.0)\n    # No upper cap: clipping at 1.0 prices a 3x-ADV order like an ADV-sized one\n    impact_pct = impact_coeff * daily_vol * np.sqrt(np.clip(participation, 0, None))\n    impact = impact_pct * traded_w  # a price move costs only what you traded\n\n    return gross - fixed_cost - impact\n\n\ndef estimate_capacity(gross_sharpe, turnover, cost_bps_per_turn):\n    \"\"\"Rough capacity: the AUM at which costs consume alpha to the threshold.\"\"\"\n    alpha_bps = gross_sharpe * 100 / np.sqrt(252)  # daily alpha in bps (approx)\n    cost_drag = turnover * cost_bps_per_turn / 252\n    return f\"Gross alpha ~{alpha_bps:.1f} bps/day, cost drag ~{cost_drag:.1f} bps/day\"\n```\n\n## Cost Components\n\n| Component | Typical Range | Scales With |\n|-----------|--------------|-------------|\n| Commission | 0.5 - 10 bps | Trade count |\n| Spread | 1 - 50 bps | Asset liquidity |\n| Slippage | 1 - 20 bps | Order urgency |\n| Market impact | 5 - 100+ bps | Order size / ADV |\n| Financing | 25 - 300+ bps/yr | Short positions, leverage |\n\n**Impact model**: $\\text{impact} = \\eta \\cdot \\sigma \\cdot \\sqrt{\\frac{Q}{\\text{ADV}}}$ where $Q$ is order size, $\\sigma$ is daily volatility, $\\eta$ is a calibration constant (typically 0.05-0.3).\n\n## Guardrails\n\n- Impact grows with the square root of participation rate - doubling AUM does not double cost\n- Use asset-class appropriate estimates: crypto spread is 5-50 bps, US large-cap is 1-3 bps\n- Short-side strategies must include borrow fees and financing - these can dominate total costs\n- Validate cost assumptions against actual fill data (TCA) when available\n\n## Production Implementation\n\n`ml4t-backtest` provides composable cost models:\n\n```python\nfrom ml4t.backtest import BacktestConfig, CommissionType, DataFeed, Engine\nfrom ml4t.backtest.config import SlippageType\nfrom ml4t.backtest.execution.impact import SquareRootImpact\nfrom ml4t.backtest.execution.limits import VolumeParticipationLimit\n\nconfig = BacktestConfig(\n    commission_type=CommissionType.PERCENTAGE, commission_rate=0.001,  # 10 bps\n    slippage_type=SlippageType.VOLUME_BASED, slippage_rate=0.001,\n)\nengine = Engine(\n    DataFeed(prices_df=prices), strategy, config,\n    market_impact_model=SquareRootImpact(volatility=0.02),\n    execution_limits=VolumeParticipationLimit(max_participation=0.10),\n)\n```\n\n## Checklist\n\n- [ ] Feed includes volume so impact and participation limits are meaningful\n- [ ] Market impact modeled for order sizes > 1% ADV\n- [ ] Cost assumptions match asset class (not a single number for everything)\n- [ ] Zero-cost and cost-aware runs compared to quantify implementation drag\n- [ ] TCA or broker fill data used to calibrate rates when available\n","tagline":"Commission, slippage, and market-impact cost models for realistic strategy simulation.
