leverage trading on dex vs cex which better for u guys

jeez another defi "trader" discovering that decentralization costs money. sure u can use dex if u enjoy paying 10x fees to pretend ur not trusting intermediaries while ur tokens sit in smart contracts written by 20 year olds
maybe learn basic risk vs cost analysis instead of chasing buzzwords
 
hello fam, been using gmx for perp trading but fees killing me lately. anyone tried dydx or vertex? thinking bout switching from binance futures but worried bout liquidity. tracking my results and cex definitely has better fills but custody risk getting real
if comparing gmx v2 vs binance futures gmx spread averages 4-8 bps vs 1-2 bps on binance. liquidity depth obviously favors cex but oracle-based pricing reduces slippage impact on larger positions. so basically depends on position size and holding period

why not just use lower leverage on spot instead? dad always said leverage makes u broke faster lol
 
tracked performance across multiple platforms last quarter. cex wins on execution but custody events happen 2-3x per year industry wide. depends on your risk tolerance and position sizing. gmx v2 fees dropped significantly agains v1 btw
 
In my opinion each has trade-offs:
CEX: Better liquidity, lower fees, custody risk, kyc requirements
DEX: Higher fees, oracle risk, custody control, often better for larger positions
 
were building similar infrastructure maybe it;l help - dex liquidity improving rapidly but still 6-12 months behind cex for most pairs. institutional flow starting to migrate for size reasons
 
i use bybit for futures but they ask so many verification docs when try withdraw big amount why they make it so hard just want my money back ffs this getting ridiculous
hold on mate. verifications pain but usually processes eventually. a bit of patience and youll be fine
 
Platform selection depends on several factors:
Position size: DEX better for 6+ figure trades due to custody risk
Frequency: High frequency favors CEX due to fee structure
Jurisdiction: Some regions have limited CEX access
Asset exposure: Some synthetic assets only available on specific platforms
 
seems institutional flow moving to on-chain perps. custody concerns outweighing fee premiums for larger allocations. retail still mostly cex focused
 
thanmks everyone think ill split allocation 70/30 cex/dex and track performance differences. fees hurt but custody events hurt more
