We learned about the terms related to futures trading and how to create a Futures trading account. However, if you are new to the Binance platform, you may not know how to access the futures market and start trading. The following article will guide you in step-by-step detail to successfully execute a trade on Binance Futures.
What is Futures Commission Trading at Binance?
When trading on any market, an essential factor is the transaction fee.
Trading fees can affect profits and even cause losses if not considered before developing a trading strategy. It is crucial if the trader using the system is day trading, as the fees can be quite substantial when trading continuously. Binance is quite transparent in its fees.
Binance Futures trading fees are divided by account level, and fees apply to Makers and Takers. In addition, users who use BNB to pay transaction fees will receive discounts. The lowest level (VIP 0) has a Maker commission of 0.02% and a Taker fee of 0.04%. If using BNB as a transaction fee is enabled, Binance reduces this fee to just 0.018% and 0.036%.
To get better pricing incentives, users need to keep a certain amount of BUSD in the account to increase the VIP level of performance to a higher level. As a result, the higher the VIP level, the lower the transaction fee.
The transaction fees of the Futures market are usually lower than those of the Spot market. However, the volume of requests is five times greater than Spot with the futures market to increase the VIP level.
