[00:02] Now, a member of my community took a trade with $100 and paid a total of $117 [music] in fees to open and close that trade. Now, think about it. If that trade was a one-to-one winner,
[00:16] instead of making $100, he would have actually lost $17 because it all went [music] to fees. And if that same trade had lost, he wouldn't have lost $100.
[00:29] had lost, he wouldn't have lost $100. He would have actually lost $217. Many people don't know how much transaction fees eat into their wins >> and make their losses even worse. That is why I am making this video. You might
[00:42] be trading, hitting wins, and still ending up with little [music] or nothing because your profits is quietly leaking into fees. But by the end of the video, you'll understand [music] exactly how fees work
[00:55] [music] I'm going to show you how exchanges calculate their fees and two ways you can start paying much lower fees. So, How do exchanges calculate their fees? Now, look at this BTC trade. It is a
[01:12] 2.2-hour trade and it went straight to take profit. Let's say you are risking $10 on this trade. Without fees, if it goes against you, you lose $10. If it goes your way,
[01:26] you'll make $22. Now, let's see what actually happens once you bring in >> transaction fees from two different exchanges, Binance and [music] crypto.com. Binance's taker's fee is 0.05%.
[01:41] Crypto.com's taker's fee is 0.07%. This information is publicly available on CoinMarketCap. Now, this is a key thing most people
[01:53] You are risking $10, [music] but your exchange doesn't charge you on the $10. They charge you on the position size of the $10 on that trade.
[02:08] So, for this trade, the position size is 10599. And you can work that out easily with the FS calculator by entering [music] stop loss.
[02:22] So, on Binance, these fees comes out to be 10.6 dollars to open and close the trade. >> That means if this trade goes against you, you are losing 20.6 dollars, not 10
[02:38] dollars. And if it goes your way, you are making 11.4 dollars, not 22 dollars. And it even gets worse with crypto.com because that fee is 0.07%, which means to open and close this trade, you pay a transaction fee of
[02:54] 47.84 dollars, making you a loss of 24.84 [music] making you a loss of 24.84 [music] dollars, not 10 dollars if you lose, and only 7.16 dollars if you actually win this trade.
[03:07] So, same trade, same setup, just a different in exchange and their fees. And look at how much money is disappearing because of this. So, what are the solutions? Like I said,
[03:20] there are two of them. The first one is to use an exchange that charges much [music] lower fee. Right now on Delta Exchange, BTC and ETH features are charged at [music] 0.01%. This is extremely low.
[03:36] And for the same trade above, the fee to open and close the trade is just [music] 2.12 dollars. That means you keep about 20 dollars of your 22 dollars win against 11 dollars on Binance [music] and 7 dollars on
[03:51] crypto.com for that same exact trade. Now, full disclosure, Delta Exchange is you through [music] the second way to stop paying high fees, Exchange offers and what makes [music]
[04:05] already know, that is the reason they fit into this video. Right now, BTC and fit into this video. Right now, BTC and ETH futures on Delta Exchange is just 0.01% in fee, which on the trade example we gave was
[04:20] the difference between keeping $20 and keeping $11. On futures generally, they sit around the big exchange fees around 0.02% for >> [music] >> And they run perpetuals and futures on
[04:35] BTC, ETH, and a wide range of altcoins with a leverage of up to 100x. Now, where they really stand out is in options. It's the product they are best known for. Their [music] options fees is 0.03%
[04:51] and this is a smart part. It is capped at 3.5% of the option premium. In plain English, on cheap options, where a normal percentage fee [music] would eat into a huge chunk of your
[05:06] trade, Delta caps it so [music] you're never overpaying. That protects you exactly on deep out [music] of money options most platform quietly bleed you on and you get daily and weekly expiries. So, you can trade short dated
[05:22] moves, not just the long ones. They also have a product I haven't seen in many places, move contract. Normally, you have to predict up or down. A move contract pays based on how much price moves in either
[05:38] direction. So, if you know a big move is coming, say Fed decision or major news, but you're not sure which way, you trade the size of the move instead
[05:50] of the direction. That is genuinely [music] a different tool here. And before you risk a single naira or a dollar on Delta Exchange, they have a dollar on Delta Exchange, they have a full demo account. So, real market
[06:05] but virtual money and every product including [music] advanced ones are there and they don't expire. If you are new to any of these, Practice first there before you go live with real money. Now, a few more things
[06:20] >> [music] >> You can trade more than crypto. You can swap futures on gold and US stocks like Amazon, Tesla, Google and Nvidia. [music] So, the same chart trading applies beyond crypto.
[06:34] For options traders, there is a strategy builder for multi-leg setup, basket order to place several trade in one click and also isolated, cross and portfolio margin modes. On their security, they have run since 2018. That
[06:49] is 8 plus years with no confirmed major hack, which in this industry actually Now, if you want to learn how to trade options, if you want to see the full breakdown video, I made a video about that and I will link that
[07:04] If you want to check out Delta Exchange, I will also leave the link in the description of this video. So, this is the first way to stop paying high um transaction [music] fee. The second way to stop paying high fees is this. If you
[07:18] look back at a trade I showed you, that was a scalp trade on the 1-minute time frame. Because of that, the stop loss is tight, Because of that, the stop loss is tight, which is why position size was so big at
[07:31] [music] 10,599. And fees are charged on position size. fees. And that is a trap. To to reduce the And that is a trap. To to reduce the fees by 10 times or even more,
[07:45] day trading >> [music] >> on the 15 minutes or swing trading on the 1 hour. That's where you pay much lower transaction fee. Your trade might take longer time to play out, but you
[07:59] get lower fee and even lower slippage. You can even actually risk much more account and pay lower slippage. And if you want to know exactly how I do swing trading step by step, then watch this
