🧾 Invisible tax: how fees relate to trading frequency — one chart, one shock.
Assume: 0.1% taker fee (common tier), on both sides of every trade. Round trip = 0.2%.
1️⃣ 12 trades/year (6 round trips) → ~1.2% of capital
2️⃣ 52 trades/year → ~5.2%
3️⃣ 100 trades/year → ~10%
4️⃣ 250 trades/year → ~25%!
In other words, the difference between a calm holder and a hyper trader is a ~25% head start — even before slippage.
Maker (limit) orders are cheaper than taker orders; fewer trades = less friction. The real cost of overtrading shows up in your account statement — not on the screen.
Activity ≠ productivity. 🧮
