Many of my brothers who trade contracts have reflected to me that the handling fees are relatively high, which may have several reasons:

First, the size of the position affects the handling fee.

The handling fee is calculated based on the market value of your holdings, not just your principal. This means that if your position is larger, the corresponding handling fee will also be higher.

Second, the rate difference between market orders and limit orders.

Market orders usually require a higher fee than limit orders. For ordinary users, the market order fee is 0.05%, while the limit order fee is 0.02%. Can you see it? The fee for market orders is indeed higher than that for limit orders. Market orders consume liquidity and reduce trading depth, while exchanges generally encourage users to place limit orders as they are more economical.

Third, the exchange's rebate mechanism.

Some people can enjoy lower rates because they not only choose limit orders but also receive a rebate on the handling fee for each of their transactions. The fees incurred after each position is opened will be returned to your account in various ways.
