I've noticed a strange thing with fees that HitBTC charges if you want to buy coins for super low price.
Just try to place an order for example TNT/BTC.

Amount: 100000 TNT
Price: 0.000001 BTC

Total: 0.100000000
Fee 0.1%฿: 0.10000000

Total is 0.1 and Fee is 0.1, that makes commission 100%.

Does anyone know why?

I've had this issue as well. I saw the explanation from HitBTC in this thread, but it didn't make any sense because the fee is taken right when you set your limit order, not when the orders are executed. Is the fee refunded upon execution? I haven't noticed that in my records.

When I tried to do a trade for 1000 DLT the total was 0.02 BTC and the fee was 0.001 BTC. When I made the limit order this amount was actually taken from my BTC total.

This is compared to if you do a market order where it seems like it's actually 0.01% of the BTC amount.

I find this very strange because the 0.1% on limit orders is being somehow calculated from the amount of tokens you are buying instead of the BTC, so for very cheap tokens the % becomes very high.

Some exchanges charge you less for limit orders because it helps the liquidity of the market, but it seems like HitBTC charges far more for these type of orders. Am I missing something?
