I think BPT are building in comms of $10 per total trade which
seems a tad low. I am on $6.99 flat trade irrespective of # of
shares so thats $13 round trip. Also, one should not assume that
Slippage is zero which is what I think BPTs strategies do. It
really doesn't turn out like that. Call it murphys law or clever TS
Back end fill systems, invariably, you will get negative slippage
over the long run
So I guess a like for like to compare v BPT for you would be to
add in $10 comms round trip but no slippage
