QFEX uses a maker-taker fee model for determining its trading fees. Orders that provide liquidity (maker orders) are charged different fees than orders that take liquidity (taker orders). Fees are calculated based on the current pricing tier you are in when the order is placed, and not on the tier you would be in after a trade is completed. Your fee tier is based upon total USD trading volume over the trailing 30 day period. Transactions made on books quoted in USD, e.g. EUR-USD, are counted as the total USD amount of each filled order. When you place an order at the market price that gets filled immediately, you are considered a taker and will pay a fee between 0.006% and 0.10%. When you place an order which is not immediately matched by an existing order, that order is placed on the order book. If another customer places an order that matches yours, you are considered the maker and will pay a fee between 0.00% and 0.10%. When you place an order that gets partially matched immediately, you pay a taker fee for that portion. The remainder of the order is placed on the order book and, when matched, is considered a maker order. You pay a maker fee for this remaining portion of the total order. Please note that the pricing tiers can take some time to update. For future orders, we recommend checking your fee tier before you trade to ensure you are in the updated pricing tier. There are five tiers of fees, based on your Effective Volume for a trailing 30-day period traded on the platform. Effective Volume is calculated as follows: Effective Volume=1×FX+2×Commodities+2×Indices+5×Single stocks\text{Effective Volume} = 1 \times \text{FX} + 2 \times \text{Commodities} + 2 \times \text{Indices} + 5 \times \text{Single stocks} Where:
  • FX = volume traded against FX futures (eg EUR/USD)
  • Commodities = volume traded against commodities futures (eg Gold)
  • Indices = volume traded against equity index futures (eg US100)
  • Single stocks = volume traded against single stock futures (eg PLTR)
