The whole point is that percentage based fee system introduces complications... Nothing wrong with a fixed% if you only go to the exchanges to buy or sell something and than leave. But in terms of trading, fixed% is not suitable for our super volatile market Wink

Thank you very much for the spreadsheet and your image Sir, what would in your opinion be the best fee structure for super volatile markets ? I have no experience with normal stock markets, so don't have any experience with that.

Me neither! I am not an experienced trader at all. I was curious about the fee system since I was able to successfully catch the spread/ little volatility in the $9-$15 range with my 0.4% fee. But now at $50/BTC a 40 cent spread won't help me. I can't prove this right now, but I think generally the spread at MTG gets bigger and bigger.

This blog blog writing explains pretty much whats neccessary:

I came across this blog post that explains how major exchanges set their fee schedules to promote liquidity:

I need some time to take a serious look at Bitfinex and leran more about technicals, if I plan to play this game. And I'll give Bitstamp a try with my next deposit
