The Hidden Killer of Contract Trading: How Fees Eat Away at Your Profits

Friends who engage in high-frequency contract trading might have this feeling — individual transaction fees seem small, ten or twenty dollars, sometimes a few hundred. But don’t underestimate this number. Over a month, just the fees can eat into a significant portion of your gains.

Taking real-world examples, for mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, if you frequently enter and exit positions, switching between limit and market orders, the accumulated weekly fees can reach thousands of dollars. All these costs flow to the platform, which is like you working for the exchange.

So, here’s a point many people overlook — the rebate mechanism. Turning on fee rebates effectively turns part of the fees into your own income. Some traders, due to lack of understanding or laziness, simply give up on this benefit, which is a bit unfortunate.

Compared to mainstream coins like BTC, ETH, BNB, the rebate ratio may seem small, but in high-frequency trading scenarios, this accumulation can lead to real cost savings. I recommend everyone check their account settings now to ensure the rebate feature is activated. After all, saving costs is equivalent to earning profits.
