Why this matters
COMMISSION DRAG IS INVISIBLE. UNTIL IT ISN'T.

Most futures traders know their headline RRR. Almost none know their true RRR after commission. The difference is often significant enough to flip a positive-EV setup into a negative one.

On MNQ at $1/contract round-trip, a 20-tick target with a 10-tick stop looks like a 2:1 setup. After commission on two contracts, your true RRR drops to around 1.72:1. That gap compounds across every trade you take. At 10 trades per day, you're paying $20 in commission before a single tick moves in your favour.

  • Prop firm traders especially feel this — tight drawdown rules mean every dollar of unnecessary commission costs twice
  • Micro contracts have proportionally higher commission drag than full-size contracts — this calculator makes that visible
  • A setup with positive gross EV can have negative net EV after commission if your target is too tight
