In any financial market with an order book (ledger containing all outstanding orders), every trade is made between two parties, colloquially known as the 'Maker' & 'Taker'.
The maker, whose order exists on the order book, and the taker, who places the order that matches (or "takes") the maker's order.
Makers - provide liquidity on our order book and so are compensated 0.25% under our rebate system.
Takers - remove liquidity by matching makers' orders and thus are required to pay a trading commission 0.5%.
Our Maker/Taker model establishes a deep pool of liquidity, a favourable trading opportunity and narrow bid-ask spreads for customers.
