: I trade Nymex every day -
: I would say at least 100-150 dollars. You may rarely get this much
slippage - however when you get slippage it's gigantic so the average number
should be higher.
: The key is a good broker I presume, and no MOO or MOC (Murder on Close)
orders.
: By the way - NatGas you should have at least 200 dollars. I got 1100
dollars slippage in the NG pit one of the days some enron news came out. :(

So, with slippage of at least $100 per contracts, that's $100 * 13 contracts
* 88 trades, that's $114,400 in slippage (if trading a maximum if 13
contracts.). Add $22,880 in commision....that's $137,280 in commision and
slippage if trading 13 contracts.

:  Total Net Profit         $128,810.00          Open position P/L
:  ($29,370.00)
:  Gross Profit              $144,450.00          Gross Loss
:  ($15,640.00)

:  Total # of trades        88
:  Max intraday drawdown         ($41,780.00)
:  Max # contracts held           13
:  Commission Paid     $0.00
