I feel I'm being overcharged.

The bottom one is a funding payment for keeping the position open and it changes all the time, but you also get paid if your position is in different direction from the crowd.

The rest are trading fees. They are a % of the order size but the % is a little bit different for Maker orders and Taker orders.

Yes the last was actually a funding fee and from the negative signs it’s seems it’s short positions actually paying the long positions, it would be positive in the other direction I am not to sure how this is calculated again.

The others are trading fees on different orders using the market orders. What I see though is that OP is trading with smaller amount and high leverage.

I would say that it is mainly because instead of having 100 dollars making 1% profit and getting you 1 dollar profit, you could have risked 10 dollars and either lose all of that 10, or earn 10 instead, that way can trade 10 times, instead of 1 time, and potentially have bigger wins, but at the same time you are risking bigger losses as well.

However, the fee structure is of course a lot worse in that case, because instead of one fee, for just one or two trades for the whole thing, you are leveraged out, stretched thin, risked more, and paid more fee. But lately I heard that some exchanges are offering discounts in trading fees if we hold their exchange tokens and this could be a one of the solution for not losing because of excess fees for our trading.

What I understand from the image posted os that, funding fees I one time which is what you are seeing from the bottom and all the others fees that are marked trade, are your fees deduction according to the amount your position was filled and it was filled on multiple order this can be caused by market instability.

I have not take not of fees deduction like this before, but I am aware in some trades how the buy order is filled multiple time like this, that is possibly the reason you see several fees taker and maker fees is a different thing all together.

OP doesn't look like a newbie at all, so this things should not surprise him at the first place but sometimes no matter how experienced we are, we can't help but to get annoyed when these losses occurs and we are looking for certain places like this forum to lament.

We can also consider greed on this subject because maybe we got a bit greedy and venture advance techniques or variations which are known to have a higher risk already or in the case of trading can trigger instant liquidations only from a simple market movements or volatility. If on a normal spot trade only, I think it is the opposite. We must be more realistic for our multiple orders to get filled instantly even within a normal market conditions.

I mean it is true THAT is the reason why they do it, but that doesn't mean that it makes sense. I understand why they do it, and the logic is true that they could spend a lot less to earn a lot more. In fact, instead of using 100 dollars to make 1 dollar profit, and using 10 dollars to leverage out and do 100 dollars, they could use 100 dollars to make 1000 dollar profit. Doing 10x with leverage is not impossible and you could get lucky.

But the problem is that majority of people who do leverages end up losing money, and that is the root of the problem. There are a few who consistently make money, but rest are just losing money overall. You could profit today, but if you look yearly, almost everyone loses money, there are like maybe 10% who are up for the year.
