Recently, I went through my old accounts and realized an overlooked truth - it’s not that I can’t gauge the market or that there’s a problem with the technology; the real profit black hole is actually the fees.

After going back and forth several times, the account's floating profit was gradually eaten away by the fees. What should have been a profitable trade ended up with the fees becoming the biggest opponent. At that moment, I decided to change places.

Later, both spot and contract trading were moved to a platform with lower fees. It was only after this switch that I realized the gap was so significant—every time I opened or closed a position, the fees were directly reduced by a large margin. The previously insignificant few basis points accumulated into a visible cost difference.

For traders who operate frequently, optimizing transaction fees can directly enhance profitability. With the same market judgment, different platform fee structures can determine whether the final outcome is profit or loss. This is the trading cost management that many people overlook.
