One OKX spot order can produce several fills and several fee entries. Learn what happens when an order is partly filled and canceled, why maker/taker status can differ by execution, and how to reconcile the fees fill by fill.
There is no honest single-number answer to which exchange is cheaper. This comparison deliberately quotes no rates and instead contrasts how each platform decides your tier, how each native token mechanism works, and what both schedules leave out.
Funding and trading fees are easy to conflate but are separate mechanisms. This guide covers who pays whom, the position-value formula for USDT and coin-margined contracts, settlement intervals, and the 2026 formula change.
