execution quality paper live
Example session with this skill installed
Analyze these paired fills for BTC-USDT. Benchmarked against Mid-Price. Live: Buy 0.5 at 64050, Sell 0.5 at 64100. Paper: Buy 0.5 at 64040, Sell 0.5 at 64115. Fees: 5 USDT per side.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the execution quality paper
The execution quality analysis is complete. The data shows a consistent adverse gap between paper fills and live execution, totaling 25 USDT in price slippage across the round trip, excluding fixed fees.
Execution Quality & Gap Analysis
| Metric | Side | Quantity | Benchmark (Mid) | Paper Price | Live Price | Execution Cost | Paper-Live Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fill 001 | BUY | 0.5 | 64035.00 | 64040.00 | 64050.00 | +15.00 | +10.00 |
| Fill 002 | SELL | 0.5 | 64120.00 | 64115.00 | 64100.00 | +20.00 | +15.00 |
| Total | - | 1.0 | - | - | - | +35.00 | +25.00 |
Cost Attribution Notes
Side-Aware Cost: Both fills resulted in positive cost (adverse execution). The Buy fill executed 15 USDT above mid-price; the Sell fill executed 20 USDT below mid-price.
Slippage vs. Fees: The total realized cost of 45 USDT includes 10 USDT in flat fees and 35 USDT in market impact/slippage.
Gap Analysis: The 25 USDT paper-to-live gap suggests that the backtest engine is underestimating slippage by approximately 2.5 basis points per side at this liquidity level.
Next steps
- Update backtest slippage parameters to include a 2.5 bps minimum buffer.
- Review order-book depth logs for Fill 002 to check for large sweeps.
- Verify if the 5 USDT flat fee is optimal for this volume or if a percentage-based tier applies.

About this skill
The problem
Traders often struggle to quantify why live execution prices deviate from backtest results. Without side-aware cost attribution, it is difficult to distinguish between simple slippage, exchange fees, and systematic paper-to-live gaps.
What it does
- Attributes side-aware execution costs for both buy and sell orders.
- Calculates the price gap between paper fills and observed live fills.
- Identifies and reports unmatched records where quantity or context differs.
- Normalizes partial fills while maintaining parent-order ID mapping.
- Generates human-readable execution plans based on slippage scenarios.
Frameworks & tools
Python 3 for analysis scripts, JSON for data exchange, and standardized trading record schemas.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Standard LLMs often struggle with the directional logic of execution costs, frequently flipping signs on sell-side slippage. This skill enforces strict side-aware attribution and ensures fees are handled as distinct variables, preventing the "double-counting" errors common in DIY prompts.
Use cases
- Quantifying the alpha decay caused by execution slippage.
- Auditing a new broker's fill quality against historical backtest benchmarks.
- Pre-trade planning using manual slippage scenario analysis.
Known limitations
Does not include broker adapters, live order routing, or order-book queue simulation. Requires pre-mapped data following a specific input contract.
