Trading Fees

Trading fees apply when you buy or sell a Cryptocurrency. There are two ways to trade on Coinbase Pro either by being a market maker (limit order) or a market taker (market order) which option you choose will affect the fees you pay.

Market Order

Market orders are the most straight forward to understand since you simply buy or sell at the current market rate, these trades have a fee of between 0.1-0.3%.

Limit Order

With a limit order you specify the price that you are willing to buy or sell at. By making an offer to the market to buy or sell at a certain level you are a market maker, which means that you are charged zero fees.
