Alright, listen up. We all talk about liquidation prices and big pumps, but nobody ever talks about the invisible killer: trading fees. Think of your portfolio like a bucket, and fees are like a tiny, constant drip from a leaky faucet. Each drip is so small you barely notice it – 0.05% here, 0.02% there.

That’s $520 gone, *just in fees*, without even considering funding rates on futures. That's half a grand that could have been capital, wasted.
