Cost
Fees, funding, spread, slippage

Depth, order type, liquidation
Account
Custody, collateral, withdrawals
Access

Use the same worksheet every time

  1. Pick one market, order size, side, and expected holding period.
  2. Calculate explicit fees and current funding before comparing headlines.
  3. Inspect spread, depth, liquidation rules, collateral, and withdrawal flow.
  4. Verify current eligibility and mark missing evidence unavailable.
Risk notice
Crypto perpetuals and leveraged trading are high risk. You can lose money through liquidation, funding, slippage, oracle issues, protocol failures, and market volatility.
