Imagine you are a day trading contract trader with a principal of 10,000 yuan.

Using 10x leverage, making 20 trades and 40 orders a day, with a daily trading volume reaching 4 million. It sounds very frequent, but once you do the math, you'll understand.

At a fee rate of 0.04%, just the transaction fees alone amount to 1,600 yuan per day. Assuming your trades break even with no profit or loss, the return rate is zero. Then:

10,000 ÷ 1,600 = 6.25

By the 6th day, your account is basically gone.

This is the truth about high leverage combined with high-frequency trading — it's not about losing on market judgment, but losing on the cost of each trade. Fees are like invisible knives, cutting day and night.

So what to do? There are mainly two approaches:

**First, start with trading habits.** Reduce trading frequency and leverage. Change 20 trades to 5, and reduce 10x leverage to 3x, which immediately cuts the fee burden by more than half.

**Second, focus on costs.** Find platforms or plans with more favorable fee rates. Lower the fee from 0.04% to 0.02%, and the transaction fees are halved, allowing your account to last 12 more days.

Ultimately, frequent high-leverage trading is like burning money. It's not that you can't do it at all, but you must be aware of the destructive power of fees.
