Trading Fees
Fee Structure
Fee Calculation
Fees are calculated based on the notional value of your trade, not the margin you put up. The notional value represents the total dollar amount of the underlying assets being traded.
Fee Example
If you open a $25,000 ETH perpetual position with $2,500 in margin (10x leverage), fees are charged on the full $25,000 notional value, not your $2,500 margin.
