## The full answer

Yes. Trading costs and floating P&L form part of the account's trading performance.

## Explained in full

- [Commission and Costs](https://getfundednow.com/rules/commission) - The rule, explained - Commission is $3.50 per side, $7 per lot round turn on every programme, charged on the simulated account. It counts toward the daily loss limit.
- [Slippage and Spread Rules](https://getfundednow.com/rules/slippage-and-spreads) - The rule, explained - Slippage, spread widening and weekend gaps are trading conditions, not exemptions. A breach caused by a fill you did not want still stands.

- [I accidentally opened a position that was too large. Can Support delete it?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/can-support-delete-a-trade) - Breaches & edge cases - No. Trades placed on the account normally remain part of your trading history.
- [I closed the bad trade immediately. Does that remove a breach?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/closing-the-trade-after-a-breach) - Breaches & edge cases - No. If a hard breach occurred before the trade was closed, closing it afterwards does not reverse that breach.
