In the cryptosphere, it's important to consider not only profits but also expenses. Fees are a silent but constant 'eater' of capital.
🔹 Main types of fees:
— Trading fee (on CEX or DEX) — for each buy/sell
— Gas fee — in networks like Ethereum, the fee for transactions
— Withdrawal/deposit fee — especially relevant when working with exchanges
— Penalties for unfulfilled orders or hidden fees in DeFi protocols
In my strategy, I always optimize fees by using:
✅ Exchanges with flexible fee structures or VIP levels
✅ DEX on blockchains with low gas fees (for example, BSC or Arbitrum)
✅ Limit orders to avoid slippage and not pay extra
🎯 Tip: Track the total costs of transactions — sometimes a 'profitable' deal becomes unprofitable only due to fees.
Successful trading is not just about predicting direction, but also knowing how to preserve profits from fees.
