Fees & costs

Understanding fees on Markets

At Markets, we believe in transparency. Our fee structure is simple, upfront, and designed to reward our most active traders.

Fees at a glance

Keeping costs low

We’ve removed the platform fees common in traditional trading so you keep more of what you earn:

• ​$0 Markets deposit & withdrawal fees: Markets does not add any extra charges when you move your money.
• ​$0 account maintenance: No monthly subscriptions, platform fees, or inactivity penalties.

The trading fee

Markets App charges one trading fee every time you open, close, or modify a position. It has two components:

• ​0.03% (3 bps) of your total trade size (your notional)
• ​0.10% (10 bps) of the margin you put up (the cash or credits backing the trade)​

Fee discounts

Your activity in the app can lower your fees. See the Rewards page for details.

Example

You open a $2,000 position using $200 of margin at a 10x multiplier:

• ​0.03% of $2,000 (notional) = $0.60
• ​0.10% of $200 (margin) = $0.20
• ​10% fee discount applied

Total fee: $0.72, or 0.036% of your trade size.

Fee limits

• ​Max fee: your fee never exceeds 0.10% (10 bps) of your trade size.
• ​Min fee: $0.10 for accounts under $100, $0.50 otherwise, but never more than the 10 bps cap.

Unlocking fee discounts

Unlock permanent trading fee discounts of up to 25% off by engaging with the Markets ecosystem.

• ​Level up: As you earn XP and climb our 10-level progression, you unlock permanent account perks.
• ​Permanent benefits: Once a fee discount is unlocked at higher levels, it remains active on your account permanently, no monthly minimums required.
• ​Track progress: You can view your current level and any active fee discounts at any time in the Rewards tab.

The trading fee is collected at the moment you swipe to confirm each trade. Your total trade size is calculated as your margin multiplied by your multiplier. Fee discounts apply to the trading fee.
