CoinProp charges two types of trading fees — maker and taker. There are no swap fees, no funding fees, and no hidden charges. Fees are the same across all account tiers and apply to both the evaluation and funded account phases.
Fee rates
| Order type | Fee rate |
|---|---|
| Maker (limit order) | 0.01% |
| Taker (market order) | 0.03% |
| Swap / funding fees | None |
What is a maker order?
A maker order is a limit order placed on the order book that does not fill immediately. It waits for the market to reach your price. By adding liquidity to the order book, you pay the lower maker fee of 0.01%.
Example: BTC is trading at $60,000. You place a limit buy at $59,500. The order sits on the book until the price drops to meet it. This is a maker order.
What is a taker order?
A taker order fills immediately by matching against existing orders on the book. Market orders are always taker orders. Limit orders that fill immediately because the market is already at your price are also taker orders.
Example: BTC is trading at $60,000. You place a market buy order. It fills immediately at the current price. This is a taker order.
How fees are calculated
Fee = position notional value × fee rate
Notional value = position size × entry price
Fees apply on both the open and close of a position. A round trip (open and close) costs two fees.
Example — 1 BTC position at $60,000:
| Order type | Open fee | Close fee | Total round trip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maker (0.01%) | $6.00 | $6.00 | $12.00 |
| Taker (0.03%) | $18.00 | $18.00 | $36.00 |
| Mixed (maker open, taker close) | $6.00 | $18.00 | $24.00 |
Example — 0.5 BTC position at $60,000 (notional $30,000):
| Order type | Open fee | Close fee | Total round trip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maker (0.01%) | $3.00 | $3.00 | $6.00 |
| Taker (0.03%) | $9.00 | $9.00 | $18.00 |
Fees and your profit target
Trading fees are deducted from your account balance and count against your profit target. If your evaluation profit target is $900 on a $10,000 Rising account, your trades need to generate $900 in net profit after fees.
Using limit orders where possible reduces your fee cost and lowers the gross profit needed to hit your target.
Fees across account tiers
Fee rates are identical across all tiers. The dollar amount of fees scales with position size, not with account tier.
| Account | Balance | Profit target (9%) | Example: 10 taker round trips at full notional |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $5,000 | $450 | ~$15 total fees |
| Rising | $10,000 | $900 | ~$30 total fees |
| Professional | $25,000 | $2,250 | ~$75 total fees |
| Expert | $50,000 | $4,500 | ~$150 total fees |
| Master | $100,000 | $9,000 | ~$300 total fees |
These are illustrative estimates based on 10 taker round trips at full account notional. Actual fees depend on your position sizes and order types.
Frequently asked questions
- Are fees the same during the evaluation and funded account? Yes. The same maker and taker rates apply in both phases.
- Does CoinProp charge funding fees or swap fees? No. CoinProp does not charge swap fees or funding fees on any position, including overnight holds and weekend positions.
- Do fees count toward my drawdown limits? Yes. Fees reduce your account equity and count toward both your max daily loss and max loss limit calculations.
- Do fees count against my profit target? Yes. Your profit target is measured on net account equity. Fees are deducted from your balance, so your gross trading profit needs to cover fees and still reach the target.
- Is the maker fee guaranteed if I use a limit order? Not always. A limit order that fills immediately because the market is already at your price is treated as a taker order and charged the taker rate. Only limit orders that rest on the book before filling receive the maker rate.
- Are fee rates different for different pairs or asset classes? No. The same 0.01% maker and 0.03% taker rates apply to all pairs on the CPX terminal.
- Can I reduce fees by trading larger positions less frequently? Fewer round trips means fewer fee events, but fees scale with notional value — a larger position generates the same fee rate on a larger dollar amount. The most effective way to reduce fee cost is to use limit orders rather than market orders.
