Different valid formulas
If the average value is ten thousand units and purchases total six hundred while sales also total six hundred, gross volume is twelve percent, whereas the lesser-side measure is six percent. These are two correctly named different quantities, not a dispute over one uniquely correct number.
Costs and interpretation
High turnover does not determine costs without tariffs and execution terms, and low turnover does not guarantee a good strategy. Commissions, spread and other costs reduce the result, as Investor.gov emphasizes.[37](#source-valuation-fees) For analysis, retain the period, valuation base, transaction composition and method used to account for cash flows. Turnover is useful when assessing the cost of implementing a rule, but it does not promise a return or establish a suitable trading frequency.
