- Every transaction will be count as the equivalent amount in BTC according to the prices at the transaction time. Every 24 hours at 00:00 UTC+8, our system will settle the cumulative trading volume of all crypto to crypto trading transactions in the last 30 days in USD as the average price of BTC/USD (Average price = (open price + close price)/2). For example: In the last 30 days, the user had transactions of five tokens (OMG, XUC, BTC, LTC, BCH). The system will count every transaction in BTC converted amount. The cumulative trading volume will be converted into USD as the average price of BTC/USD then be settled at 00:00 UTC+8 every day.
- Transaction fee charges: For spot market trading pairs, we will charge the transaction fee from the asset you buy. For example, when a user trades a BTC/USDT pairs, the transaction fee will be charged in BTC when buying BTC, USDT will be charged when buying USDT.
- Rebate Rules of Negative Trading Fees For a spot market order, a trading fee rebate is settled in the digital asset the taker pays for the transaction fee. For example, in the BTC/USDT spot market, if a user places a BTC sell order, the buy taker will pay the transaction fee in BTC, and the sell maker will receive a fee rebate in BTC. If a user places a BTC buy order, the sell taker will pay the transaction fee in USDT, and the buy maker will receive a fee rebate in USDT.
- Create Order
- Maker orders are "passive" limit orders posted on the order book prior to the trade. Example: If the current market price is 1000USD and you created a 999USD maker order, the order will not be filled. Instead it will be posted on the order book, allowing others to take the order. Once the order is filled, maker will pay the maker fee and taker will pay the taker fee. For options trading,the final transaction fee will not exceed 12.5% of the option premium.

Rules for Margin Interest Rate Discounts and Margin Asset Borrowing Amount:
OKEx Margin Trading Rules
Maximum Loan Amount
The available borrowing amount is determined by the minimum value of the borrowing amount calculated by the Margin Account's balance, the borrowing amount of the Main Account, and the borrowing amount of the margin ratio position. Further information for margin ratio position and the borrowing amount：
Margin borrowing Position Tiers
For example:
1.User A has 600000 USDT in his BTC/USDT account. 4X of his balance is 2400000 USDT. Therefore, the maximum loan amount is 2000000 USDT.
2.User B has 200000 USDT in their BTC/USDT account. 4X their balance is 800000 UDST. Therefore, the maximum loan amount is 800000 USDT.
Remarks: The individual limit is calculated separately in different trading pairs. Even if you have borrowed 2000000 USDT in the BTC/USDT trading pair, you can still borrow another 500000 USDT in the XRP/USDT trading pair. To minimize your risk, we also consider other factors when calculating your maximum loan amount. The final amount should be the value stated in the margin trading page.
