backtest-cost-sensitivity-mcp

License: MIT Live on MCPize

An MCP server that sweeps commission and slippage assumptions across a backtest to find the real breakeven cost per trade, plus a structured look-ahead-bias audit.

The problem this solves

Most backtests run with one fixed commission/slippage assumption, which hides how fragile a strategy's edge actually is to real-world execution costs. A strategy that's profitable at 0.5 ticks of slippage and dead at 1.5 ticks needs to know that before going live, not after.

Tools

cost_sensitivity_sweep

Sweeps a range of commission and slippage assumptions against backtest results and reports how performance metrics degrade across the range.

breakeven_cost_finder

Finds the exact commission/slippage level at which a strategy's edge goes to zero — the real cost ceiling, not a guess.

lookahead_bias_checklist

A structured audit for the specific look-ahead-bias patterns that inflate backtest performance (data leakage across bar boundaries, repainting indicators, future-bar reads).
