Rate basis

Which column of a fee page is the baseline

A fee page shows several sets of numbers at once. First work out which set you are reading.

Short answer

Separate three things before you read any number: spot or futures, maker or taker, and the account tier the row applies to.

Key points

  • One page, several different baselines

    Spot and futures are listed separately, and maker and taker each get their own column. A screenshot that caught one row is how two baselines get read as one.

  • Tier and campaign rewrite the baseline

    Account tier, holdings or a running campaign change what is actually charged. The page normally names the scope in small print - read that line first.

Common questions

Why is my fee different from someone else's?

Your tier, the pair and the order type may all differ, so the rate actually applied differs too. Only the order screen in front of you shows your own baseline.

How often do the numbers change?

Whenever the platform decides - there is no fixed cycle. Treat the page on the day you check it as the baseline, and any guide or screenshot as a reference only.
