Separate trading cost from trading risk

Start with fees, funding, leverage risk, and venue comparison, then understand the inputs, limits, and verification steps behind each calculator.

Understand the mechanism before using the calculator. These guides do not provide trade signals; they explain which inputs can change cost and risk.

Trading fees are more than one percentage

Maker, taker, spot, and derivatives rates can differ on the same venue. A fair comparison holds the product, order type, notional, and account tier constant and includes both entry and exit.

Estimate the full cost of one trade

Funding is a variable holding cost

Funding may be positive or negative, and direction and settlement count affect the outcome. A past observation does not guarantee the next interval, so keep the timestamp and use a range.

Estimate funding over a holding period

Leverage magnifies exposure, not guaranteed return

Higher leverage generally leaves less room for an adverse move. Actual liquidation still depends on the venue's maintenance-margin model, margin mode, and account state.

Check liquidation risk and assumptions

Compare cost and eligibility separately

A lower estimate is not automatically the right venue for everyone. Data sources, regional eligibility, product access, transfer paths, and risk models need separate checks.

Compare venues under the same conditions

Frequently asked questions

Where should a first-time user start?

If you already know the trade conditions, start with the trading cost calculator. If leverage is involved, also review liquidation and funding tools.

Does DZPTO recommend which asset to buy?

No. DZPTO focuses on pre-trade cost, data, and risk checks. It does not provide price forecasts or buy and sell signals.
