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 ...
$BTC The short play seems to have completed a flip, last time the long position was smashed down by the Israeli shells.
After three days of consolidation, the new weekly candle opened with a solid bounce. Planning to dip buy around 64k, and looking to relax around the lows near 63k.
In terms of speculation, the pressure zone is around 66-67k; if we can break through, there's a chance to test the 70k range.
Does anyone know this lazy sheep? I bumped into him in Binance Square back in March. I met him in a livestream and thought he seemed trustworthy, so I joined his membership group. At first, I made some gains following his trades; I doubled my investment. He suggested we meet offline, and after our meeting, that same night we got intimate. He promised to help me make big profits, claiming his last name was Liu, but his ID said Yang. He gave me a total brainwash. I was really caught up in the moment; it was indeed profitable at first. During that time in Changsha, we were either trading or being intimate, barely stepping outside once a week. Later, he said he had something to do and just left me. He asked me to send him 30k USDT, claiming he’d help me with contracts. I logged into my account for him; I trusted him completely, love-struck. Later, during the 2300 rally, he kept going long, and those who saw his posts know he was long at 2300 and didn't jump off at 2400. We both got wrecked. Overall, I lost over 500k USDT; half of it was profit, but my principal was over 200k USDT. This was money I earned through hard work over five to six years. Seeing him five to six years younger than me, he was so manipulative. A couple of days ago, I found out I was pregnant. I tried contacting him, but he blocked me on all platforms and hasn’t replied. I can only reach him through the platform now. I'm giving you 24 hours to respond, or I’ll expose all our conversation records and hotel logs. I want to ruin your reputation. I'm only giving you 24 hours. I'll consider the lost money as feeding the dogs, but this child needs an explanation from you.
