It would essentially lower my trading cost and add more opportunities for trading.
It's a win win situation that pays for itself.
Simply saying, profits from trading pay for the operational cost of the exchange.
Or you can say it is from the money Saved from trading at a less expensive exchange.
Let me explain this better through a trading strategy.
I'm investing 10k in btce MT4 platform. They offer 1:3 leverage. with a big fee.
The smallest position size is 0.01 which costs 0.02 cents usd and a 0.10 position size will be 0.23 cents.
I buy a position size of 0.01 (cost of 2 cents) at 486.005 and close the position at 490.00 for a profit of 2 cents. BTC/usd moved up $4.00.
What happen in the trade?
BTCUSD moved Up in our favor $4.00
Our Trading Fee was 2 cents
Our profit is 2 cents after fee.
Without the broker fee I would make 2x the profit. A total of 4 cents of profit instead of 2 cents.
Now apply a position size of 0.10 with a fee of 23 cents per trade. I will use the same strategy of a BTCUSD Up move of $4.00 to generate 23 cents in total profits after the total 23 cent fee.
I placed 500 trades a month
Total fee is $115.00
And now lets get serious.
I will be trading with a position size of 0.49 and the cost is $1.00 in commission
I will place over 500 trades a month
Total fee is $500+ a month.
