Fees look tiny per trade and add up fast if you trade often. Bitnxs publishes its fee schedule through the public API, by default 2 bps maker and 5 bps taker, so a Grok Bot can pull it and price out a month of your own trading.
Funding on Bitnxs settles every hour, so on a position you hold for days it quietly adds up. A Grok Bot can total it for you: the public API returns the last 168 hourly rates for BTC, ETH or SOL, a full week, no API key needed.
The most expensive trade is often the one right after a big loss. You want it back, so you size up, skip the stop, and take a setup you'd normally pass on.
Price up with open interest rising means new positions are piling in. Price up while open interest falls usually means shorts are closing out. Same green candle, very different story underneath.
Averaging down on a leveraged position feels like fixing a bad entry. What it actually does is make the position bigger, so every extra percent against you now costs more than it did before you added.
A market order fills at whatever's sitting on the book. When the book is thin, a big order eats through several price levels and your average fill ends up worse than the price you saw. That gap is slippage.
