Trading cryptocurrency isn't just about buying low and selling high. To be profitable, you must account for the "hidden" costs of trading.
Exchange fees (maker/taker) typically range from 0.1% to 0.5%. While small, they compound. On a $10,000 trade, a 0.5% fee is $50. You pay this when buying AND selling.
The spread is the difference between the buy and sell price. On illiquid coins, this can be 1-2%, putting you in the red immediately.
Our Crypto Profit Calculator factors in these fees automatically to show your true break-even price.
