What to watch when sizing a ADA trade
Exchanges charge on both legs, so a 0.1% fee on each side costs about 0.2 percentage points of return; the effect compounds with trade frequency.
Real fills can differ from your input price because of slippage and order-book depth — every figure here is a math estimate, not a quote.
