TrueCostReport:
Cost is the one input to a trading system that is knowable exactly, and it is almost always estimated wrongly - always in the direction that flatters the strategy. This EA measures what one round trip really costs on YOUR broker: the live spread sampled from ticks, the swap for both sides including the triple-charge day, and the commission read from your own deals. Most spread figures come from the bar's "spread" field, because that is the easy one to reach. It is a per-bar summary, not the quote at any instant. Measured on XAUUSD: 20 points live across 60 readings against a bar-field median of 6. A factor of 3.3. So a filter set to "skip if spread > 15" never fires - it lets through exactly the moments it exists to block. Swap is the half most custom simulators do not charge at all. It is asymmetric, one side pays while the other collects, and one weekday counts three times. Read-only: it never opens, closes or modifies a position.
