Round-trip cost is everything a trade costs from entry to exit: the spread twice, the fee twice, slippage, and funding for every hour held, all on notional. It is usually bigger than the fee table suggests; [the card against the ledger](https://mochatrade.com/learn/start-here/nvidia-trade-walkthrough) finds it, and [Mochatrade fees and funding](https://mochatrade.com/support/mochatrade-trading-fees-and-funding-rates-explained) give the inputs.
