Fees · Systematic Record-Keeping · Sustainable Trading Habits

The final growth comes from small habits, market analysis skills, and environment management that set you apart from others. Consistency and meticulous cost control are the third secret to success.

Complete Understanding of Trading Fees · Funding Fees

Many beginners overlook trading fees and the funding fees of perpetual futures. Make sure to accurately check the fees incurred for each trade and the funding fees exchanged between long and short positions at regular intervals.

 • Fees can vary depending on trading methods, VIP benefits, coupons, etc. Large-scale and high-frequency trading can achieve significant cost reduction when VIP conditions are met.

 • Check funding fee times, criteria, and units as they differ by exchange.

Habituate Order Book, Charts, and Order Management

 • Frequently analyze order book, trading view charts for quotes, execution strength, and trading volume.

 • Master various order types such as limit orders, market orders, and trigger orders.

 • Carefully recording trade history (profit-taking/stop-loss/ROI/liquidation details) helps identify personal trading patterns and errors.

Automate Asset and Trade Records, Manage Target Profits

 • Manage daily profits, losses, number of trades, average entry/exit price, etc.

 • When profitable, automatically exit once it exceeds a set percentage without greed.

 • If your long-term profit curve is rising, don’t be shaken by short-term losses.

Actively Use Coupons, Events, Referral Codes

 • Organize and use promotional items such as fee discount coupons, bonuses, Pearls provided by the exchange regularly.

 • Additional earnings (e.g., referral commissions) can be a surprising long-term profit source when managed consistently.

Minimize High-Leverage Bets, Cultivate Steady Self-Improvement

 • Rather than a one-time gain with 100x leverage, stable repetition using 3-5x leverage leads to sustainable profits.

 • Keep developing yourself with consistent news monitoring, guide study, and utilizing support centers/FAQs/communities.

 • Build your own success formula by analyzing actual cases of success and failure (e.g., broadcast briefings, exchange announcements, other traders’ patterns).

Recording and repeating small achievements with data, and making thoroughness in fee and market trend analysis a habit—this is the true path to success in the futures market that transcends time.
