When many people trade, they only focus on the buy and sell prices, but ignore the costs generated during the trading process.
In a complete trade, besides price fluctuations, there are three common factors:
① Fees
These occur when the trade is executed and are the most direct trading cost.
② Funding rate
This mainly shows up during contract positions and changes with the length of time you hold the position.
③ Slippage
The difference between the actual execution price and the expected price—slippage becomes more likely when market volatility is higher.
Understanding the difference between these three is the key to understanding: where exactly your trading costs come from.
