I compared the true cost of trading on Backpack vs Kraken vs Hyperliquid vs OKX and the difference is massive

Retail trader profile — $10K collateral, $500K monthly volume.

Kraken costs you $190 a year. Backpack earns you $223. that’s a $413 swing.

active trader profile — $50K collateral, $2.5M monthly volume.

Kraken costs $825. Backpack earns $1,315. that’s a $2,140 difference.

the gap comes from yield on collateral covering fees and then some.

Kraken pays zero yield on collateral so you’re just bleeding fees. what exchange are you currently on?

Do you actually use leverage, or avoid it completely?

Been curious about this lately because it feels like people either love leverage or completely stay away from it.

Some traders treat it like a normal tool for short term setups, while others see it as the fastest way to blow an account.

Do you know anyone who started using leverage too early and regretted it?

At the same time, I can see why experienced traders use it carefully, especially now that platforms like BTCC and others make leveraged trading much more accessible than before.

Curious where people here stand, do you actively use leverage, keep it low, or avoid it entirely?
