💡 Do you really understand contract trading fees? Don’t underestimate these “fees,” because they can really eat into your profits! $BTC


Let’s do an example to calculate:
Suppose you open 10 ETH contracts, priced at 3,500 USD/ETH, with 100x leverage, and the fees are as follows:
1️⃣ Maker fee: 0.018%
Calculation:
3500×100×0.018%=63USD3500 \times 100 \times 0.018\% = 63 USD3500×100×0.018%=63USD
That means, just placing an order to open a position costs you 63 USD.
2️⃣ Taker fee: 0.045%
If you prefer to close your position with a market order (taker), the fee is:
3500×100×0.045%=157USD3500 \times 100 \times 0.045\% = 157 USD3500×100×0.045%=157USD
A single close order costs you 157 USD.
✅ Total fee for one order: 63 + 157 = 220 USD
If you open 5 orders a day, the fees are:
220×5=1100USD220 \times 5 = 1100 USD220×5=1100USD
Over a month of 30 days, the total fees reach:
1100×30=33,000USD1100 \times 30 = 33,000 USD1100×30=33,000USD
And this doesn’t include the risks of liquidation or slippage. ##Gate广场五月交易分享
