Fees Eat Your Profits — If You Let Them
In high-frequency trading, maker/taker fees quietly drain your edge.
And in DeFi? Gas fees can cost more than your actual trade.
Here’s how I manage it:
🔹 Use limit orders to qualify as a maker
🔹 Batch transactions when interacting with smart contracts
🔹 Time withdrawals during low network congestion
🔹 Stay on platforms with fee tier discounts (volume-based)
Your edge isn’t just your entry — it’s how much you keep after fees.
