Why Does My Futures Balance Decrease Even Though the Trade is Positive? (The Cost Effect)
In Futures, something happens that often confuses many: you can close trades with a positive PNL, yet your total balance still decreases. This occurs when the gross profits from the trade are less than the associated costs, resulting in a negative net PNL.
In very short trades—like scalping from 1 to 5 minutes—the commissions and the funding rate can eat up almost all the profit. Your trades are profitable… but not enough to cover everything you pay to operate.
What really affects the final balance: Double Commission: For opening and for closing the position (maker/taker rate). Funding Rate: If the rate applies against you at that moment (especially in scalping). Profit Volume vs. Cost: If the gross ROI is very low (e.g. 0.30%) and the total cost is similar, you end up negative.
Before engaging in aggressive scalping, it's wise to measure how much it costs to open and close each operation, and adjust the size or entry style so that the profit is significantly greater than the cost. The details of the commissions can always be seen in the transaction history.
Knowing this Do you consider the funding rate a significant factor in your scalping strategy?

#ComparteTusTrades $TST this coin is quite manipulated by the team members, I was trading on spot and in futures I placed a short, but as soon as I sold on spot, it started to rise like crazy and I almost got liquidated, but when I went back to place in spot to sell it higher, the rise stopped drastically. it's even trying to go down.

Bullish
My girlfriend gave me an ultimatum to stop trading or she’d break up with me 💔
Pretty much the title, i swing and day trade and I’m profitable but she says it takes too much of my time and i need to stop or she’ll break up with me. It’s killing me because we’re about to enter/ in the middle of a huge bull market. Was wondering if anyone else has dealt with something similar.
It’d be one thing if i lost a lot of money and kept going but stop while being profitable? Damn
Edit: we talked about it, and it’s because i have a business that’s on the verge of starting and trading is getting in the way. I also spend a lot of time looking at news and figuring out my next trades so in a way I’m super consumed by it. We talked about her not doing ultimatums anymore and she agreed. I’m going to put a hold on trading and get my business started.
I’d say I’d make as much as a full time engineer day trading so I am profitable. Thanks for everyone’s comments. {spot}(BTCUSDT)
I am seriously thinking about that reward, to be honest, if I have a bit of time I will go and hand over the crazy Venezuelan to the crazy yankee as well, but I would ask for an advance.
in a quick survey, if I'm not mistaken, the token $BOB is now owned by the community! in other words, the admins have given it up. a dog that has too many owners dies of hunger! it's going to be a collapse. now that there is no listing!!!
if it's true, the last one please turn off the light {alpha}(560x51363f073b1e4920fda7aa9e9d84ba97ede1560e)
#MYX I have never been liquidated in these years that I have been, however I made the mistake of entering this currency that is only here to steal and the worst thing is that #binanace allows this type of theft on its page, in my opinion, this type of theft should not exist on this platform, I did not lose much but I imagine that there are people who have lost millions. So, be very careful when entering to operate, because not everything that glitters is gold.
#calderaxyx has formed a bullish pattern for this coin, although in futures I usually wait for it to reach the top to enter a short position, in spot I usually buy at this point.
