How this is calculated
Chase cost for a long entry equals your actual fill price minus your planned entry price, multiplied by shares. A positive number means you paid more than planned.
Chase cost for a short entry equals your planned entry price minus your actual fill price, multiplied by shares, since a worse short entry is a lower fill than planned.
This tracker only holds entries for your current browser session. Refreshing or closing the page clears the log. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere.
A single chased entry is rarely the problem by itself. A pattern of chasing, entering meaningfully worse than your plan again and again, is what erodes an edge that looked fine on paper. Use this log to see whether it's a pattern for you.
