Find the smallest price move a trade needs before it turns a profit after exchange fees, the hidden hurdle that eats scalpers and high frequency traders alive. Enter your entry fee and exit fee as percentages, which on most venues means the maker or taker rate on each side, and the tool adds them into a round trip cost and shows the exact percentage the price must move in your favor just to break even. It also shows the fee cost on a position size you enter, so you can see the dollar drag.

Knowing your breakeven keeps you from taking trades too small to clear costs. All math runs locally in your browser.
