Fees

There are two types of trading fees you will see on Crust Exchange: Position and Funding fees

Position Fee:

• Crypto Asset - To open a position, you will need to pay a maximum 0.25% fee of the position size opened. Same amount must be paid to close a position.

• Forex Asset - To open a position, you will need to pay a maximum 0.015% fee of the position size closed. Same amount must be paid to close a position.

Funding Fee: Once a position is opened it starts to accrue funding fees based on how much is being borrowed from the vault and the current funding rate (which resets every 4 hours and is also dependent on if Long (L) or Short (S) as shown in the image below). The longer a position is held open the higher the funding fee will be which is paid out upon closing the position$

As an example, assume you open a $10,000 $ETH Long position with 5x leverage (meaning you're borrowing $8,000) and you close this trade out completely 6 hours later, or 2 funding periods. Also assume the rate (0.051%) given in the above image doesn't change over this 6 hour period. Your total funding fee would be:

$$Funding Fee= 8000 \times 0.00051 \times 2=8.16$$
