Maker and Taker fees explained

Taker fee

A Taker fee is incurred when you "take" existing liquidity by executing a market order. The fee you pay depends on your trading volume tier.
  • Example:
  • 1. BTC/USDT is trading at $69,000
  • 2. You place a Buy BTC/USDT market order
  • 3. Order is executed instantly at $69,000
  • 4. You will pay a taker fee based on your tier, starting from 0.02%

Maker fee

Maker fee is incurred when you "provide" liquidity by placing a Limit order and it gets executed.
  • Example:
  • 1. ETH/USDT is trading at 3900
  • 2. You place Limit order to BUY at 3800. By doing so, you provide additional liquidity
  • 3. Market reaches your Limit order and it gets executed
  • 4. You will pay 0.01% fee on the trade

What is the spread?

The spread, or the bid-ask spread, is the difference between the sell (bid) and buy (ask) prices of an asset. The ask is always higher than the bid. The spread is essentially the fee you pay for trading an asset.

Example

  • You want to trade EUR/USD
  • The bid price for the pair is 1.0552
  • The ask price is 1.0546
  • The spread is 0.0006 or 0.6 pips

How are funding rates calculated?

You can calculate how much interest you’ll pay or earn when keeping a position open overnight by using the formulas below.

The formula:

  • Swap Rate (%) x Asset Price x Amount (position size)

Forex CFD example

  • Asset: EUR/USD
  • Asset price: 1.08
  • Amount: 100,000
  • 24h Swap fee: 0.0011%
  • 0.0011% x 1.08 x 100,000 = 1.188 USD
  • The account will be charged 1.188 USD every 24 hours at 00:00 UTC for the open position of 100,000 in EURUSD
