Average cost and fees

Congrats on your first trade! Notice the average cost is slightly above your buy price? That is the fee.

The formula Average cost = (quantity × price + fee) ÷ quantity

Example: 100 shares × EGP 10 = 1,000 + fee 1.5 → average 10.015.

Why it matters - You only profit once the price passes the average **including** the selling fee. - Buying the same stock twice at different prices gives a quantity-weighted average.

Tip Many small trades cost more in fees than one larger trade of the same amount.
