No artificial spread is added to your price. CoinProp shows Bybit's real spread and fills you at the exact tick price on screen at the moment you enter. What you pay instead is a slippage fee.
Why a slippage fee exists
In a real market, an order of any real size does not fill at a single tick. It walks the order book. Buying pushes you above the price you clicked, selling drags you below it, and the thinner the book the further you travel.
CoinProp does something different. Your entry price is kept exactly where you saw it, at the tick, whatever size you enter. The cost that book movement would have had in reality is charged separately as a slippage fee.
You keep a clean entry price, and the simulation still reflects what the trade would genuinely have cost. Without it, a strategy could look profitable in CPX purely because it never paid the price of moving the market.
How big is it?
It is calculated at the moment you submit the order, from live Bybit order book depth for that pair and the size you are entering. Two things drive it: how deep the book is, and how much of it you are taking.
On majors such as BTC, ETH and SOL the books are deep and the fee is usually unnoticeable. It becomes more visible on thin altcoin pairs, on large positions, and during extreme events when books thin out. That is not CoinProp penalising you, it is what the same order would genuinely have cost in that moment.
You always see it first
The slippage fee is shown in the order confirmation panel before you execute, alongside the maximum position size allowed for that pair. Nothing is charged that you have not seen.
This is not a markup
CoinProp does not widen Bybit's spread and does not add a house margin to your price. The slippage fee is derived from real Bybit order book data and reflects real execution cost.
Trading fees are separate
The slippage fee is charged in addition to the standard trading fee of 0.03% per side, which applies to both market and trigger orders. See What trading fees apply on CoinProp?
FAQ
Does CoinProp add its own spread on top of Bybit's? No. There is no markup on your price. CoinProp shows Bybit's real spread and charges a separate slippage fee instead.
Will I be filled at the price I see on the chart? Yes. Your entry price is exactly the tick you saw at that moment, whatever size you enter. The real-world cost of that fill is charged as a slippage fee rather than being taken out of your entry price.
What is the difference between the slippage fee and the trading fee? The trading fee is a flat 0.03% per side. The slippage fee is variable and reflects how far your order would have walked the book in a real market. Both apply.
Why was my slippage fee larger than usual? Either the book was thin, your position was large relative to it, or the market was moving sharply. On majors in normal conditions it is usually unnoticeable. On a thin pair during an extreme event it can be significant.
Can I avoid the slippage fee? No. It applies to every fill. Trading deeper pairs and sizing sensibly relative to the book keeps it small.
Does the slippage fee count toward my profit target and drawdown? Yes. It reduces your account equity like any other cost, so it counts against your profit target and toward both drawdown limits.
Where do I see the slippage fee before trading? In the order confirmation panel in CPX, before you execute, along with the maximum position size for that pair.
