Trading fee

A 0.05% fee is charged on the position size (collateral × leverage) when you open, and again when you close. The opening fee is paid from your balance on top of the collateral, so your liquidation price isn't affected by it; the closing fee comes out of what the position pays back.

ExamplePosition sizeOpen feeClose feeRound trip
$100.00 at 10×$1,000.00$0.50$0.50$1.00
$100.00 at 50×$5,000.00$2.50$2.50$5.00
$1,000.00 at 5×$5,000.00$2.50$2.50$5.00

Because the fee scales with position size, the same 0.05% costs a larger share of your collateral at higher leverage. On $1,000.00 of size it is $0.50 each way.

Other costs

  • Funding and borrowing may apply while a position is open. See Funding & borrowing.
  • Network fees are paid to the blockchain, not to Evergreen, whenever you sign a transaction.
