๐จ Funding Fees Are Killing Your Profitable Trades ๐ฑ (Most traders realize this too late)
Yes โ 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 โ The chart looks perfect โ Yet your balance is slowly bleeding ๐ฉธ Thatโs funding fees doing silent damage.
๐ฃ Hidden truth about funding fees:
โข Long in a bullish market? You are PAYING. When funding is positive, longs pay shorts every 8 hours.
โข High leverage = silent killer. At 10xโ20x leverage, funding eats profits faster than you think.
โข Sideways market + funding = slow death. Price doesnโt move, your balance does.
โข Holding trades overnight = tax on patience. The longer you hold, the more funding you pay.
๐ต Real example: +5% trade profit โ2% funding fees โ1% trading fees โ Real profit: only 2% ๐คก
๐ง What smart traders do:
โ๏ธ Check funding rate before entering
โ๏ธ Avoid extreme funding
โ๏ธ Use spot for long-term holds
โ๏ธ Control leverage
โ ๏ธ Remember: The market isnโt stealing your money โ funding fees are.
If you trade futures and ignore funding, youโre not a proโฆ youโre just lucky (for now).
