So my friend mentioned that he uses a platform called Gdax to buy bitcoins. So, I went to their website and was looking into their fees. This is what I read and I'm making sure I am understanding this correctly.
Note: Taker trades are charged tier one fees at the time of trade but a rebate for the previous 24 hours of trading fees will be credited to your account each day at 12:00am UTC.
HOW ARE FEES PROCESSED?
A 0.25% taker fee for all BTC books and 0.30% taker fee for all ETH and LTC books is collected on each trade during the day. At the end of the day (UTC 00:00), a rebate is calculated and issued. The amount of the rebate issued is calculated on the percentage of total exchange volume, per product, that a trader has participated in over the past 30 days.
For example, If 100 BTC was traded on Coinbases BTC/USD order book in the last thirty days and you accounted for 1.1 bitcoin, you account for more than 1% of the total volume and receive a rebate of 0.01% that day and pay an effective taker fee of 0.24%.
The rebate is issued in the quote currency.
Does this mean in the end of the day the fees is 0 cause they issue a rebate? Additionally, how can I use the BTC I purchase on this platform to made trades for other alt-coins on coinbase? I am new to this so if I am misunderstanding this please clarify.
Thanks
