Understanding Spot and Futures Trading Fee Calculation on WEEX: A Comprehensive Guide

At WEEX, one of the key aspects of trading is understanding the fee structure. Whether you're into spot or futures trading, it’s essential to know how your fees are calculated to make the most out of your trades. This article explains how WEEX calculates trading fees and provides the latest updates on fee discounts and other related charges.

Spot Trading Fees on WEEX

For spot trading on WEEX, the fees are straightforward:

• Spot Trading Fees: 0.1% for both makers and takers.

This means that whenever you buy or sell an asset on the spot market, you’ll incur a fee of 0.1% of the transaction value, whether you are a maker or a taker.

Futures Trading Fees on WEEX

Futures trading has a more dynamic fee structure, with different rates for makers and takers:

• Makers: 0.02% fee rate.
• Takers: 0.08% fee rate.

In futures trading, a maker is someone who places an order that is not immediately filled, adding liquidity to the market, while a taker is someone who places an order that immediately matches with a maker’s order, taking liquidity from the market.

How Trading Fees Are Calculated?

The calculation of your trading fees is based on several factors, including whether you're opening, closing, or reducing a position. Here’s a breakdown of how these fees are determined:

• For spot trades: The fee is simply calculated as 0.1% of the trade amount.
• For futures trades: The calculation is a bit more involved. The formula to calculate the transaction fee is:

Transaction Fee=(Entry Price * Futures Nominal Value * Quantity *Marker or Taker Rate)

This formula reflects the value of your position and whether you're a maker or a taker.

Fees are applied only when you open, close, or reduce a position, not for unfilled or canceled orders. Also, the fees are deducted from your position margin, and they are based on the position value rather than leverage, meaning they are not influenced by how much leverage you use.

Discounts Available for WEEX Users

We understand that trading fees can add up, which is why WEEX offers discounts to help you save:

• VIP Members: By holding WXT, WEEX VIP members can receive up to 70% off futures trading fees. The discount depends on your VIP level—the higher the level, the bigger the discount!

Other Fees on WEEX

While trading fees are a crucial part of the cost structure, here are some other fees to be aware of:

• Deposit Fees: Free.
• Withdrawal Fees: There are no fixed withdrawal fees. The fees depend on the cryptocurrency and network conditions. These can fluctuate based on the selected cryptocurrency’s network congestion.

Where to Find Fee Rates

To keep track of your trading costs, WEEX makes it easy to view the latest fee rates:

Key Notes About Makers and Takers

• Maker Orders: These are orders that add liquidity to the market. For example, if you place a limit order, your order becomes a maker order and will be listed in the order book. You’ll pay the lower maker fee rate of 0.02%.
  • GTC Orders (Good-Till-Canceled) can be either maker or taker orders.
  • To guarantee your order enters the order book, you can select "Maker Only" when placing your order.
• Taker Orders: These are orders that take liquidity from the market. If you place a market order or any order that is immediately filled, you’re a taker and will pay the higher taker fee rate of 0.08%.
  • IOC (Immediate or Cancel) and FOK (Fill or Kill) orders are also considered taker orders.
