Maker vs Taker Fees and Why They Matter More Than You Think ❓ Fees are a bigger part of trading than most people realize. If you only trade spot and hold for months, losing 0.01% on entry and exit may not feel important. But if you trade futures, fees compound fast. On perpetual futures, a typical account pays around 0.036% as a maker and 0.1% as a taker. That’s a 2.7x difference. A maker order adds liquidity to the order book. This happens when you place a limit order that does not fill immediately. Because this helps the exchange, maker fees are lower. A taker order removes liquidity. Market orders are always taker orders, and limit orders that fill instantly are also treated as taker orders. Many traders accidentally pay taker fees even when using limit orders. To avoid this, use post-only orders. A post-only order guarantees your limit order will only be placed if it adds liquidity. If it would execute immediately as a taker, the exchange cancels it automatically.
