Recently, I noticed that many people still have a half-understanding of rebate commissions. Today, I will break down this topic thoroughly.

As long as you trade, you can't escape transaction fees. In the current market, the fee for futures trading is 0.06%, and for spot trading, it's 0.1%. This ratio may seem low, but the actual impact on your account can be quite different.

For example, in futures trading, the 0.06% fee is calculated based on your total position. If you open a position with 100x leverage, this rate is equivalent to 6% of your principal. To put it into concrete numbers: with a $100 principal opening a 100x futures contract, you pay $6 in fees when buying, and another $6 when selling, totaling $12. Even if you break even or lose money, you still have to pay that $12 in fees.

This is why rebates are important. After entering an invitation code, the original $9.6 fee per trade is discounted, saving you $2.4 per round trip. Some might say $2.4 isn't much, but consider this: a typical trader with $1,000 in their account, trading for three months, will be shocked by the accumulated fee costs—those numbers often surpass your principal.

Ultimately, trading is about increasing returns and improving win rates. Providing yourself with rebates is the most basic operation. You'll find that many people's profits and losses combined don't even cover the transaction fees. Instead of obsessing over each trade's ups and downs, it's better to first plug the easiest loopholes—this is the mindset of a professional trader.
