Fees are charged and deduced on a per-trade basis. The more “total volume” you trade on a rolling 30 day basis, the lower your fee on subsequent trades. We will calculate your fees based on your last 30 days of trading volume based on the daily average of the BTC-USD rate (24-hour weighted average price) and dynamically adjust your fees according to the following schedule:

Maker | Taker Trade | Volume (trailing 30 day avg)
0.08% |   0.20%  | < $1m USD
0.02% |   0.15%  | < $20m USD
