- Takers pay a 0.10 percent fee (10 basis points) for trades that execute immediately
- Makers pay no fees when their order does not fill immediately
An order fills when it executes against an existing order in the book.
Understanding Takers and Makers
- Takers remove liquidity. Their orders execute immediately.
Example: You submit a buy order at 50¢ that fills right away. - Makers add liquidity. Their orders post to the order book and do not fill immediately.
Example: You submit a buy order at 50¢ that sits on the book until someone matches it.
Liquidity refers to the resting buy and sell orders available in the order book. More liquidity generally means tighter prices and lower price impact.
