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.
I have never dared to write this piece because the experiences of the past year have truly made me want to escape.
The decline trend at the beginning of 2025 took away my faith in the bull market and the numbers in my account. When I got up that day and saw that cold red -100%, my first reaction was that I hadn't woken up and my eyes were blurry.... It took away not only some numbers but also my trading confidence and personal self-esteem. So I began to doubt myself, gradually lost my sense of self, kept sinking deeper, and started to hate #ETH $ETH ...
Ah, you know, regular folks can really hit that financial freedom mark through long-term investing...
Just a heads up, it's not about wealth freedom; it's about financial freedom.
You gotta learn to invest, because the best way to make money in this world is to have your money work for you.
Putting your cash to work is how you stack up wealth. A lot of people aren’t broke because they lack the hustle; it's more about their mindset. I haven't seen many folks get rich just by grinding away.
Sometimes, making the right choice is way more important than just putting in the effort. It’s like three years ago when you decided to buy Bitcoin or Ethereum.
If you scooped up Bitcoin three years back, you could have seen profits soar over 4x, while Ethereum could have maxed out around 2x... but in between, you probably faced several moments where profits went to zero or even turned into losses...
Today, the OG coins are flying high~ even the big cap altcoins are starting to show some movement~ even the trashiest $SOL can bounce back for a rally~ So far, no altcoin has broken out with over a 50% gain today, which was a common occurrence in the past few weeks suddenly gone.
This just goes to prove that the main market is really hitting a ceiling.
Don’t expect a bullish trend to return or reverse in the first half of the year~
The shorts for $BTC are about to show their face.

$SPORTFUN This sports prediction platform token has already hit short-term resistance at 0.085.
Short-term volume has also kicked in; if it continues to surge, we might see a breakout to new highs.
There’s still some short-selling pressure, but the short-term support has shifted up to around 0.072.

Next week will be the tipping point, so hold onto those shorts tightly. There's very little time left for a rebound; tonight and Monday are the last chances~
Woke up to see BTC has dipped back below 81. I'm ready to sacrifice all my male followers, giving each of them 1000 satoshis to push Bitcoin into a new phase of downward spiral.
So, can you hold on this time? What price point would make you happy?
Not much to say, but yesterday was a beast. Gotta give props, CRCL is the only coin I want to stack and have already started buying in this downward trend of the crypto market.
The only stablecoin that really holds its own ~ in the crypto scene, it pretty much dominates a third of the fundamentals.
I believe and firmly trust that holding it long-term will yield returns that far exceed today's $BTC .
In 5 years, you might look back and realize that right now, it's just dirt cheap!!!
