Binance recently reduced the funding interval for Alpaca futures from 8 hours to just 1 hour, and now they’re charging nearly 3% in commission every single hour. This is extremely excessive. If you hold a position for 30 hours, even if you make a 100% profit, the entire gain can be wiped out by funding fees alone.
And it gets worse—if you stay in the position longer than 30 hours, you could actually end up losing more than your initial profit. That’s not trading; that’s being drained by fees. This kind of model punishes strategic long-term positions and makes profitable trading nearly impossible.
Binance needs to be more transparent and fair about how these charges are applied. At the very least, users should be clearly informed of the real cost of holding a position before committing. These silent commission hikes feel predatory and misleading.

However, I noticed that my profits were being reduced far more than anticipated, as funding fees were ...
Binance is taking an unreasonable amount in commission fees from futures trading. When I review my position history, I notice that even if I make a $3 profit, only about $2 actually reaches my account. Just recently, I earned a total of $110 trading SUI coin through futures—but nearly a third of tha...
I encountered an extremely unfair funding fee deduction on Binance while trading futures. I had an open position worth $5,000, and Binance charged me a staggering $1,400 as a funding fee. This excessive deduction directly led to the liquidation of my position. I was already facing a loss from the ma...
