What an honest execution quality report looks like

Fill rates, rejection rates and slippage distribution — the three numbers every broker should publish monthly.

Three numbers that matter

Average slippage alone hides the tail. We publish the full distribution, including the worst decile, because that is where risk budgets actually break.

Methodology

Every figure is computed from raw fills, without excluding news windows or partial fills, and is reconciled against venue timestamps.
