Fees & Slippage
When trading perpetual contracts, costs mainly come from trading fees and slippage.
Understanding these costs helps users better estimate trade outcomes and manage risk.
Trading Fees
Trading fees are charged only when an order is executed.
Maker and Taker Fees
6MM uses a Maker / Taker fee model:
Maker Fee
Applied when your order adds liquidity to the order book
Typically comes from limit orders that are not filled immediately
Taker Fee
Applied when your order removes liquidity from the order book
Commonly comes from market orders or immediately filled limit orders
Fee rates may vary by trading pair and partner configuration.
When Are Fees Charged?
Fees are charged at order execution
Fees are calculated based on executed trade value
Fees are deducted from the 合约账户 (Perpetual Account)
Unfilled or canceled orders do not incur fees.
Slippage
Slippage is the difference between the expected price and the actual execution price.
Why Slippage Happens
Slippage can occur due to:
Low market liquidity
Large order size
High market volatility
Use of market orders
Slippage is more noticeable during fast-moving markets.
How to Reduce Slippage
Use Limit Orders instead of Market Orders
Trade during periods of higher liquidity
Avoid placing large orders at once
Monitor order book depth before trading
