I only trade on zero-fee or maker-taker exchanges, like GDAX, Bitmex and OKCoin. Making profits with fees is possible, but harder.

- louprado 10y agoSince the exchange functions as a market maker, do they also make money on the spread ? Or is the Ask and Bid an exact match ? Maybe there is no way to know for certain without two accounts. Also do you trade on multiple exchanges to perform inter-exchange arbitrage or for some other reason ?

- louprado 10y agoGDAX, for example, has a maker/taker type of fee structure that charges you based on your account volume: https://www.gdax.com/fees https://www.gdax.com/fees There are many ways an exchange can collect fees. An exchange doesn't have to take a spread but it is too tempting since it is easily hidden.
