Crypto Trading | Delta Exchange | Exorbitant Charges

General
1

Any one trading option in delta exchange. I dont get why people are trading there. I did some calculations and the charges are 12% on option premium per each for buy and sell. Add to that such high spreads and slippage. So you would need 70% accuracy just to break even, who in there right mind is trading on these platforms and everywhere i see influencers promoting this exchange but none of them even talk about these absurd charges.

For comparison in nse,bse index option we pay at max only 0.3% of option premium as charges.

True ; But I checked with other crypto derivative platforms globally the MAKER & TAKER fees are more or less similar
Ig that is the norm with crypto ; They don’t charge per order basis

Yes ; I am just testing the waters out there or in other words doing sasta gambling to fulfil my daily dopamine hit

For anyone thinking to entering don’t enter ; I am prepared to loose all the money (2L) I put here, so it makes sense for me

The fees continue to be a pain.

The screenshot which I uploaded is for one of my accounts

I stopped trading crypto options. There are one or two reasons.

  1. The fees too high
  2. The most important reason is that this takes lot of my time to monitor, take trades etc. So at this point in my life I need time to study, so I stopped it.
  3. One more thing is the continuous trend. I personally profit out of mean reversion. So somehow I used to win most of the times, but when I lose, the loss was heavy

I did blow my account once or twice

That being said, if anyone is able to control their emotions and not take over leverage, I think probably they would make money out of it. But this isn’t for me. I used to spend too much time over here.

The below information is from 15 September 2025 to 24 September 2025 for another sub account

So what I feel is that if you’re able to manage your emotions and take quality trades. I think you would make money out of it.
At least that is what I feel.

@dtyxg Thank you very much! :100:

The per-trade fee of around 300 INR is similar to 1 lot of commodity futures and about half of Nifty fut. Not the worst! :dizzy:

Trend following lends itself very well to systematic / automated trades. :chart:
Might be worth exploring on the higher timeframes to lessen the fee impact. :money_with_wings:

Uff, sorry to hear that! :face_with_head_bandage:

Burned my hands once too many with Natgas :fire::face_holding_back_tears:
