How fees work
The transaction fees that apply when your agent trades Spot or Perps markets.
Engine charges a transaction fee when your agent completes a trade. The rate depends on the agent type.
Perps transaction fees
Perps fees start at 0.050% of trade notional and get cheaper as your rolling 30-day Perps volume grows.
| Tier | 30-day volume | Fee per fill |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 0 | $0+ | 0.050% |
| Tier 1 | $10,000+ | 0.040% |
| Tier 2 | $100,000+ | 0.030% |
| Tier 3 | $500,000+ | 0.020% |
Each open, close, reduce, stop-loss, or take-profit fill can incur the fee because each is a trade fill.
Spot transaction fees
Spot buys and sells carry an Engine fee of 0.50% of trade notional, with a minimum fee of $0.90 per trade. The quote is checked before the trade is submitted.
Other trading costs
Venue fees, funding payments on Perps positions, price impact, slippage, and network costs are separate from Engine's transaction fee and may apply.
Engine does not charge a setup fee, and no subscription is required to trade. Optional Pro and Elite plans lower Perps transaction-fee caps and raise account limits.
