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.

Wake up, brothers~

$SNDK extremely weak rebound; by the time the Wednesday interest rate decision is announced, it can get back around 1000 😂

#US storage stocks extend losses

$BTC next week the big biscuit can shake around a bit and then keep rebounding. In the meantime, it’s best to finish off the stop-buying-and-pullback trap as well.

After that, we can see a burst of ultra-fast selloff, thoroughly flushing things out…

Ah~ the darkness before dawn is coming 🫪

Last night, U.S. stocks officially entered the tech earnings season. Alphabet (Google), Tesla, IBM, and Texas Instruments all released the latest quarterly results in succession. Overall, the performance is not bad, but the market is starting to focus more on the quality of earnings rather than growth for its own sake.

Google once again delivered an above-consensus performance. Revenue, EPS, Google Cloud, and YouTube advertising revenue all exceeded market expectations.

However, Google continues to raise its AI capital expenditures, which suggests that it will keep making large-scale investments in AI infrastructure over the next few years—an important reason its after-hours share price is under pressure. The market has moved from “AI telling a story” to “when will AI start making money.”

On the other hand, while Tesla’s automotive business remains stable, free cash flow turned negative again. The reason is also that spending on Robotaxi, robotics, and AI R&D continues to rise. The market is concerned about near-term profit margins, so the stock saw a clear pullback after hours.

In addition, Texas Instruments’ earnings outlook is somewhat cautious, which also adds pressure to the semiconductor sector.

Tonight to watch closely: Intel ($INTC )
There’s no doubt that the biggest focus after hours tonight is Intel. The company will report its Q2 2026 earnings and hold an earnings call.

Right now, the market is most focused on three things:
Whether its AI chip business continues to improve; how progress is going in the foundry services business; and management’s guidance on second-half performance and its AI strategy.

If Intel can deliver a positive outlook, it could lift sentiment across the entire semiconductor sector; otherwise, it may further weigh on the performance of chip stocks.

As of now, the main storyline from today’s earnings is already very clear.

In the short term, AI demand remains strong, but the market is starting to require companies to prove that AI spending can actually translate into profits.

Over the next few weeks, major tech players—including Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Amazon, and the Nvidia industry chain—will come to the stage one after another. AI is still the core storyline that will determine the direction of Nasdaq.

The market tone is still somewhat bullish, but don’t chase the price. Earnings reports and various pieces of news may keep the market in a tug-of-war and range-bound phase in the near term~

After the close tonight, Tesla and Google will release their earnings reports.

After the market rebounded sharply yesterday, whether it can stir up further momentum depends on what happens tonight

This week, major U.S. tech giants are about to report earnings, and the AI rally is facing another crucial test!

Last week, the market adjusted a bit—one round of deep cleansing shook out a whole bunch of people… This week, the focus will be on tech giants like Alphabet, Tesla, IBM, and Intel as they release their earnings reports in sequence.

Right now, what the market cares about most is AI capital expenditures, real enterprise demand, and guidance for the rest of the year. This round will directly determine whether the AI, semiconductor, and computing-power sectors can keep flying higher—or whether they’ll keep wobbling.

Key earnings this week:

Wednesday the 22nd: Alphabet ($GOOGL ), Tesla (TSLA)
Thursday the 23rd: IBM, Intel
Friday the 24th: American Express

If this week’s tech-giant results and guidance beat expectations, the AI main theme will very likely regain investor attention, and the market could start to warm up again;

Meanwhile, the AI-related leaders and hot names have basically pulled back by more than 40%. Even if earnings don’t meet expectations, chances are it’ll continue to trade sideways while cleansing. On the other hand, any positive news or sentiment could instantly ignite a rebound across the tape.

In the short term, it’s still important to be prepared for volatility. The volatility in U.S. stocks is really, really, really big… that’s exactly what crypto people find most tolerable 😂

The darkness before dawn is right now—the daily chart rebound is still being incubated. Hopefully everyone can make it through the week safely.

Argentina is really too dirty

$SNDK is really savage; the shorts are always the real dad.

As long as you don’t do counter-trades when things are fine—stop-losses won’t catch up to me.

Only by shorting can you get rich fast 😭

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.
