My opinion is that charging a 0.3% fee for a trade is too high.
Bitfinex needs to be the most competitive marketplace in the world for the BTC/USD pair.
The major platforms charge 0.2% for high volume and Bitfinex should not charge more than this.
Staying within the 0.2% range is a must.
Thanks anyway for the suggestion

Don't know about the rest of these guys,
but what originally got my attention was the original .13%,
Now we have gone from .13%, to .15%, to now .20%,
and $20 deposit and withdrawal fee, which use to be Free,
all because of what the major platforms do, where does it stop ?
Pure, "Keeping Up With The Jones,
as soon as a English Speaking Version of Houbi hits the market,
The China Exchange that offer Free Trades / Zero Fees
that make their money off of advertising and not the backs of Traders,
All of these Exchanges that consistently want to charge and raise fees,
will have to find other revenue streams when the crowd runs to this new type of Exchanges.
Those of us that have been here longer should be "GrandFathered Claused" and not have our
fee structure constantly changed, but of course that would be too much like being appreciative .
Personally, BitFinex is beginning to appear more and more like a "Bank" every day,
and you know how true "Coiners" feel about BANKS !
i speak the same.. I'm waiting for an english version to come out... no trade fee? oh hell yeah
i can day trade efficiently on that structure.
