Introduction
=> Chinese: "## 引言" (or "## 介绍". Usually Chinese markdown uses "## 引言". We'll keep heading level 2.

Note: keep tags? Probably keep them as is? The original used HTML . We can keep them or replace with markdown ? It said translate article in markdown format; we can keep HTML tags but better to convert to markdown ** for consistency. However they said translate naturally, not word-by-word; we can keep the emphasis using .
We'll convert fees to 费用, etc.
Thus paragraph: "选择合适的加密货币交易所是任何希望进行交易、投资或通过联盟计划赚钱的人的基础步骤。面对数百家争夺关注的平台，决策过程可能会让人感到不知所措。通过聚焦三大核心支柱——费用、安全和联盟收益——你可以剔除噪音，选择符合你财务目标和风险承受能力的交易所。本指南将引导你了解实用标准、可操作的检查清单以及持续评估的技巧，帮助你自信且盈利地进行交易。"
Now next heading:
Understanding Fee Structures
=> "## 了解费用结构"Paragraph: "Fees directly impact your net returns, especially if you trade frequently. Understanding the different fee categories helps you avoid unpleasant surprises."
Translate: "费用直接影响你的净收益，尤其是频繁交易时。了解不同的费用类别有助于你避免不愉快的惊喜。"
Trading Fees
=> "### 交易费用"
Paragraph: "Most exchanges charge a maker‑taker model. Makers (who add liquidity with limit orders) often pay lower fees, sometimes as low as 0.02 %, while takers (who remove liquidity with market orders) pay higher rates, typically 0.05‑0.10 %. Look for exchanges that publish a clear fee schedule and offer volume‑based discounts. If you plan to trade large volumes, a tiered fee structure can save you significant amounts over time."
Translate: "大多数交易所采用 maker‑taker 模式。Maker（通过限价单增加流动性）通常支付较低费用，有时低至 0.02%；而 Taker（通过市场单移除流动性）则支付较高费用，通常在 0.05%-0.10% 之间。选择那些公布明确费用表并提供基于交易量折扣的交易所。如果你计划进行大额交易，分层费用结构可以在长期内为你节省可观的费用。"
Note: keep percentages with spaces? We'll keep as is.
Deposit and Withdrawal Fees
=> "### 存款和取款费用"
Paragraph: "While many platforms offer free crypto deposits, fiat deposits via bank transfer or credit card may incur charges ranging from 0.5 % to 4 %. Withdrawal fees vary by asset; Bitcoin withdrawals, for example, can be a flat 0.0005 BTC or a percentage of the amount. Always check the fee page for each coin you intend to move, as some exchanges subsidize withdrawals for certain tokens to attract liquidity."
Translate: "虽然许多平台提供免费的加密货币存款，但通过银行转账或信用卡进行的法币存款可能会产生 0.5% 至 4% 的费用。取款费用因资产而异；例如，比特币取款可能是固定的 0.0005 BTC，也可能是金额的一定百分比。请务必查看你计划转移的每种币种的费用页面，因为一些交易所会补贴某些代币的取款费以吸引流动性。"
Hidden Costs
=> "### 隐藏成本"
Paragraph: "Beyond the advertised rates, watch for spread (the difference between buy and sell prices), inactivity fees, and conversion fees when trading between fiat and crypto. Some exchanges also levy fees for using advanced features like margin trading or futures. A quick way to spot hidden costs is to simulate a small trade and compare the expected output with the actual amount received after the transaction."
Translate: "除了广告费率外，还需留意 spread（买卖价差）、不活跃费用以及在法币和加密货币之间交易时的 转换费用。一些交易所还会对使用杠杆交易或期货等高级功能收取费用。快速发现隐藏成本的方法是模拟一笔小额交易，然后比较预期输出与实际到账金额。"
Now next section:
Evaluating Security Measures
=> "## 评估安全措施"Paragraph: "Security is non‑negotiable. An exchange with low fees but weak safeguards can expose you to hacks, insolvency, or regulatory seizure."
Translate: "安全是不可妥协的。费用低但防护薄弱的交易所可能会让你面临黑客攻击、破产或监管没收的风险。"
Regulatory Compliance
=> "### 监管合规"
Paragraph: "Check whether the exchange is registered with relevant financial authorities (e.g., FinCEN in the U.S., FCA in the UK, or MAS in Singapore). Regulated platforms must adhere to AML/KYC standards, maintain capital reserves, and undergo regular audits. While regulation doesn’t guarantee safety, it adds a layer of accountability."
Translate: "检查交易所是否已向相关金融监管机构注册（例如美国的 FinCEN、英国的 FCA 或新加坡的 MAS）。受监管的平台必须遵守 AML/KYC 标准，保持资本准备金，并接受定期审计。虽然监管并不能绝对保证安全，但它增加了一层问责制。"
Cold Storage and Insurance
=> "### 冷存储与保险"
Paragraph: "Reputable exchanges store the majority of user funds in cold wallets (offline storage) to mitigate online attack risks. Look for disclosures about the percentage of assets kept offline. Additionally, some platforms offer insurance policies that cover losses from security breaches—though policies often have caps and exclusions, so read the fine print."
Translate: "信誉良好的交易所会将大部分用户资金存放在 冷钱包（离线存储）中，以降低线上攻击风险。请查看有关离线存储资产比例的披露。此外，一些平台提供保险政策，以覆盖因安全漏洞导致的损失——尽管这些政策通常有上限和免责条款，所以请仔细阅读细则。"
Two‑Factor Authentication and KYC
=> "### 双因素认证与 KYC"
Paragraph: "At a minimum, the exchange should support 2FA via authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy) or hardware keys (YubiKey). SMS‑based 2FA is weaker due to SIM‑swap risks. Robust KYC procedures—requiring government‑issued ID, proof of address, and source‑of‑funds documentation—help prevent fraudulent accounts and enhance overall platform integrity."
Translate: "至少，交易所应通过认证应用（如 Google Authenticator、Authy）或硬件密钥（YubiKey）支持 2FA。基于短信的 2FA 由于 SIM 卡换机风险而较弱。健全的 KYC 程序——要求提供政府发身份证件、地址证明以及资金来源文件——有助于防止欺诈账户并提升平台整体完整性。"
Next section:
Assessing Affiliate Benefits
=> "## 评估联盟收益"Paragraph: "If you plan to earn referral income, the affiliate program’s structure can be as important as the exchange’s core services."
Translate: "如果你计划通过推荐获得收入，联盟计划的结构可能与交易所的核心服务同样重要。"
Commission Structures
=> "### 佣金结构"
Paragraph: "Affiliate payouts typically fall into three models: revenue share (a percentage of the referred user’s trading fees), CPA (cost per"
The original cuts off at "cost per". Probably they meant "CPA (cost per acquisition)" but truncated. We need to translate whatever is there. We'll translate up to that point.
Paragraph: "Affiliate payouts typically fall into three models: revenue share (a percentage of the referred user’s trading fees), CPA (cost per"
We translate: "联盟佣金通常分为三种模式：收入分成（被推荐用户交易费用的一定百分比）、CPA（每...". Since it's incomplete, we can just translate what we have and maybe end with "...". But better to keep as is but translated: "联盟佣金通常分为三种
