Understanding Trading Fees
In derivatives trading, participants are categorized as either market takers or market makers, each incurring different fee structures:
- Market Takers execute orders by consuming existing liquidity, paying Taker fees.
- Market Makers provide liquidity to the order book, earning Maker rebates (or paying lower Maker fees).
- Fees are deducted from account balances without affecting initial margin requirements.
- View detailed fee records in your Transaction History.
