đš Funding Fees Are Killing Your Profitable Trades đ± (Most traders realize this too late)
Yes â FUNDING FEES. Not bad entries. Not bad strategy. Your trade can be green and still lose money because of funding.
Your trade is in profit â The chart looks perfect â Yet your balance is slowly bleeding 𩞠Thatâs funding fees doing silent damage.
đŁ Hidden truth about funding fees:
âą Long in a bullish market? You are PAYING. When funding is positive, longs pay shorts every 8 hours.
âą High leverage = silent killer. At 10xâ20x leverage, funding eats profits faster than you think.
âą Sideways market + funding = slow death. Price doesnât move, your balance does.
âą Holding trades overnight = tax on patience. The longer you hold, the more funding you pay.
đ” Real example: +5% trade profit â2% funding fees â1% trading fees â Real profit: only 2% đ€Ą
đ§ What smart traders do:
âïž Check funding rate before entering
âïž Avoid extreme funding
âïž Use spot for long-term holds
âïž Control leverage
â ïž Remember: The market isnât stealing your money â funding fees are.
If you trade futures and ignore funding, youâre not a pro⊠youâre just lucky (for now).
