Implementation Shortfall
Implementation shortfall is a comprehensive measure of the total cost of executing a trade, including explicit costs like commissions and implicit costs like slippage and market impact. It represents the difference between the decision price ⎊ the price when the order was initiated ⎊ and the final execution price.
By measuring implementation shortfall, traders can assess the true effectiveness of their execution strategies. It is a critical metric for institutional investors who need to account for all friction in the trading process.
Minimizing implementation shortfall is the ultimate goal of professional execution management.
