Small numbers that quietly eat portfolios.
0.1% trading fee sounds like nothing. Trade in and out three times a week and that is 0.6% a week, roughly 31% a year on your active capital.
1% TDS on every crypto sale in India. Not an extra tax, a deduction you claim back, but it locks your capital until you file.
Funding rates on futures. 0.01% every 8 hours is about 11% a year to hold a leveraged long. It adds up while you sleep.
Spread on low liquidity coins. 2% to buy, 2% to sell, before price moves at all.
None of these show up as a loss on your PnL card. All of them show up in your account a year later.
Did you ever add up your fees for a full year? Try it once. It changes behaviour.
