Set your own fee tiers
Tell the Trade simulator your trading volume on each exchange and it takes fees at your tier. Signals and the spot scoreboard can use the same tiers.
Most exchanges charge a smaller taker fee as your trading volume climbs through their tiers. The site starts from each exchange’s entry tier, what a new account pays; give it your own volume and its figures are yours.
Setting them
- Open a coin’s page, and go to its Trade simulator.
- Switch on Include taker fees.
- In each exchange’s box, type your volume on it, as the box asks; shorthand such as 250k or 1.5m works. Where an exchange’s tiers can count what you hold there instead, choose Assets beside its box.
The (i) beside a box shows that exchange’s whole schedule, with the day it was read. Spot and perpetuals keep a set each, and both carry from coin to coin. They’re kept in this browser.
Where they’re used
- The Trade simulator on every coin page, where each part of an order pays the rate for the volume it brings you to, and the funding spread trade on perpetuals.
- Signals: choose My tiers rather than Standard under Taker fees.
- The spot scoreboard’s After fees, which ranks the exchanges with each taker fee at your tier.
An exchange you haven’t given a figure for stays at its entry tier.
