AI trading is booming, but are fees the last straw?
Recently, scrolling through Twitter and forums, it’s all about AI Agent trading, AI quant, AI copy trading~ Feels like if you’re not rolling with an AI bot, you can’t even say you’re trading anymore 😂
But there’s a question that everyone seems to be dodging—these AI bots are opening and closing trades like crazy, dozens or even hundreds a day, have you calculated the fees? Binance futures taker fee is 0.05%, so opening and closing a position costs you 0.1%. If you’re making 50 trades a day, let’s say you’re in profit~ that’s a big chunk of your gains gone by the end of the month...
You read that right, your AI bot might not even be making you money, and the fees are draining you dry.
Take teacher @拉哪 as an example, they turned 100U into hundreds of thousands, what’s the secret? Low win rate with a high risk-reward ratio, holding positions for a long time, not relying on high-frequency trading. The real money-makers are those traders who take fewer but more precise trades, with minimal fee impact.
In contrast, most AI bots are opening and closing dozens of times a day, pocketing pennies, and the fees take a huge cut first. When you do the math, the AI is making less than the fees 😂. What’s even crazier is that AI trading comes with extra charges—API TOKEN, strategy subscriptions, profit-sharing, and so on. Stacking it all up...
The whales are loving this situation~ You think you’re making money with AI, but really you’re working for the exchanges and AI giants.
The reality is—those really profiting from AI trading are the institutions with enough capital to get maker rates and have their own infrastructure. Retail traders with a few hundred U running an AI bot are likely just contributing to the fees.
I’m not saying AI trading doesn’t have potential; it definitely does. But at this stage, for the average person, rather than spending energy on fiddling with AI bots, it’s better to first clarify your own trading logic. AI is a tool, not a money printer. If you use the tool well, it can amplify your advantages, but if you misuse it, it’ll only speed up your way to zero~
To be honest, rather than burning cash on AI bot fees, it’s better to lower the fees themselves. I’ve got a permanent fully automated fee rebate program, invitation code: xx2026
Whether you’re trading manually or running a bot, at least you can save on fees. A high-frequency trader might save more in a month than your AI bot earns 🤷
These fees are the straw that breaks the camel's back; it’s not the camel that’s getting crushed, it’s those still dreaming of riches.
I have never dared to write this piece because the experiences of the past year have truly made me want to escape. The decline trend at the beginning of 2025 took away my faith in the bull market and the numbers in my account. When I got up that day and saw that cold red -100%, my first reaction was that I hadn't woken up and my eyes were blurry.... It took away not only some numbers but also my trading confidence and personal self-esteem. So I began to doubt myself, gradually lost my sense of self, kept sinking deeper, and started to hate #ETH $ETH ...
Unfortunately, the long position stop-loss at 1460 was executed with surgical precision by an intentional spike that took it out ~
Brothers seeking revenge, be careful yourself. 1580-1600 can be used for the first take-profit, and you can also take partial profits there and then gamble for 1650.
Morning plunge $SKHYNIX directly—crushing the South Korean semiconductor sector!
Last week, SK hynix listed on the U.S. stock market at $149 per share. The ADR opened at $170 for SK hynix. Then, on Monday’s early trading, the “good news” was quickly realized on the spot—so the valuation has returned to something more reasonable!
The early-session drop is already approaching 12%, and it’s no longer just a simple profit-taking pullback. So don’t rush to bottom-fish in the short term!
Over the past year, SK hynix has been a leading stock in the AI surge. On the very first intraday session after the ADR opened, institutional players were already distributing and taking profits—definitely not very friendly for short-term traders.
SK hynix is still a HBM leader, so names like NVIDIA, Micron, SanDisk, and others have all been affected to varying degrees. For now, wait until the close to see whether the losses can narrow and get back within 8%.
Near-term support is 1300, short-term resistance is 1400.
In the current market, the trading opportunities in swing trading US stocks and quantitative trading have outperformed the market by more than 90%~
Is the hot AI + storage + semiconductors theme over, in your view?
$SNDK The move I’m seeing for now, in my opinion, is still in a rebound phase, and the price action hasn’t provided confirmation of a reversal. At least before SanDisk gets back above 2100
But if you really believe there will be a permanent shortage of storage, then from today’s perspective everything seems fine.
July’s market will provide the answer. For the short term, swing trading is still the best strategy. #SK海力士ADR定价149美元
$BTC Last night, the big pancake inserted the needle and after breaking 615, it violently rebounded; everything is moving again in the direction we expected.
At the start of the new weekly cycle, the market was extremely strong—early in the day it directly surged to 64,000. This rebound has now been upgraded into a weekly rebound. The rebound target is 67–68k.
In the short term, support is at 61,800 and 62,500.
Wait till tonight~ If it doesn’t pull back and instead pushes straight toward 67–68k, then once it goes up, it’s also a good opportunity to short. If it moves upward in a sideways range, then that would be even better for the current market sentiment.
As for the topic heat in this crypto market, it has dropped to an absolute low—when you open Binance and the forums, it’s all about U.S. stocks.
