Fill assumptions
Traseq handles order execution automatically — you don’t need to configure fill logic. Here’s how it works:- Signal entries and exits fill at the next bar open.
- Take-profit orders use a limit / gap fill.
- Stop-loss and trailing-stop orders use a stop / gap fill.
- Fees and slippage are applied after the fill price is determined.
Trading fees
The fee summary comes from your workspace backtest defaults. New workspaces start with0% / 0% maker/taker — update this in Settings > Backtest
Defaults to match your actual exchange fees.
Slippage
Three slippage models are available:- None — no slippage applied
- Fixed — a constant amount in
bps(orticksfor symbols with tick-size metadata) - Volatility Scaled — dynamically scales with
ATR %orBar Range %
Note: Slippage only affects market-style fills. Limit fills always execute at the resolved limit or gap price.
Expert settings
For fine-grained control, expand Expert Settings:- order routing for entry, exit, and risk orders
- tiered maker / taker fee schedules
- ATR period and min / max caps for volatility-scaled slippage
- portfolio guardrails like max drawdown or max daily loss

Credit cost
Before running, the panel shows the estimated credit cost and number of bars to scan.1h / 90-day backtest scans about 2,160 bars and
costs roughly 0.1 research credits.
When the backtest finishes
Traseq takes you to the results page automatically. If the backtest fails, common reasons include:- not enough research credits remaining
- insufficient market data for the selected period
- strategy conditions were never triggered (no trades)
