What does one futures round trip actually cost? Let's do the math.
Example: a $10,000 position on a USDⓈ-M perpetual, using Binance's standard VIP 0 rates as reference (taker 0.05%, maker 0.02%; check the current fee page, tiers change).
Market in, market out: 0.05% + 0.05% = 0.1% of notional = $10.
Limit in, limit out (both filled as maker): 0.02% + 0.02% = $4.
Limit in, market out: $2 + $5 = $7.
Ten round trips a day at $10,000 each costs somewhere between $40 and $100 per day, depending only on order type.
My view: most traders track entry and exit prices to the tick but never total their fees. Fees are charged on notional, not on your collateral, and leverage makes it easy to trade a much bigger notional than you think. If your edge per trade is small, order type alone can decide whether the month ends green.
Have you ever added up your fees for a full month?
