#CryptoFees101 Don’t Let Fees Eat Your Gains

Fees may look small, but over time they can seriously cut into your profits — especially if you're a high-frequency trader or active in DeFi.

🔍 Types of Fees You Should Know:

1. Trading Fees – Charged per trade on CEXs (Maker vs Taker).

2. Withdrawal Fees – Moving your crypto off exchanges? You’ll pay a fee.

3. Gas Fees – On blockchains like Ethereum, fees fluctuate with network congestion.

4. Swap/DEX Fees – Fees for liquidity providers when using DEXs like Uniswap or PancakeSwap.

How I Reduce Fees:

✅ Use BNB to pay for trading fees on Binance (and get a discount!)

✅ Trade during low volatility periods to avoid gas spikes

✅ Use Layer 2s (Arbitrum, Optimism) or fee-friendly chains.

✅ Choose limit orders (lower fees) over market orders when possible

📈 Pro Tip: Always factor fees into your entry and exit strategy. That profitable trade may not be if you didn’t include costs.
