Most common beginner questions
New traders usually want to know whether limit equals maker, whether market equals taker, and whether BNB or VIP levels materially reduce cost. Those are the right questions because cost control starts with order behavior.
The short answer is that maker adds liquidity, taker removes liquidity, and order settings decide which role you actually play.
Common misconceptions
A frequent misconception is that fee percentage alone determines the best execution method. In reality, slippage and spread can outweigh the fee difference, especially on fast or thin markets.
Another misconception is that a limit order is always passive. It is only passive if it does not execute immediately.
