Zero-fee marketing is misleading. On stock futures, execution cost was never the primary expense—funding rate is. Holding leveraged positions through funding windows represents the true P&L drag, not trade entry.
MEXC's zero-fee structure eliminates entry friction on select products but does not eliminate carry cost. This matters for position sizing and holding period decisions.
Lower entry friction increases the economic viability of short-duration tactical trades where funding exposure is minimal. Structural cost advantage narrows for multi-day holds.
Implication: Fee structure favors high-frequency directional bets over carry trades. Evaluate total cost of ownership, not headline marketing.
