In trading, it is important to count not only profit 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 for transaction fees

— 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 just because of fees.

Successful trading is not only about guessing the direction but also knowing how to preserve profit from fees.
