# Fees
### Trading (Open & Close) Fees
On **EasyX**, the open and close fees are not fixed; instead, they are dynamically calculated based on your monthly trading volume. As your trading volume increases, the fees gradually decrease. Basically, the more you trade on the platform, the lower the fees you'll pay for each trade.
By offering tiered fee structures, **EasyX** incentivizes continued usage and rewards active traders with reduced fees as they increase their trading volume. This dynamic fee calculation ensures that users can benefit from cost savings over time, making the platform more attractive for frequent traders.
| Tier | 30 Day Volume | Fee (open & close) |
|---|
| 0 | < $1,000 | 0.10% |
| 1 | ≥ $10,000 | 0.09% |
| 2 | ≥ $100,000 | 0.08% |
| 3 | ≥ $1,000,000 | 0.07% |
| 4 | ≥ $10,000,000 | 0.06% |
| 5 | ≥ $100,000,000 | 0.05% |
| VIP | ≥ $1,000,000,00 | 0.04% |

### Funding Fees
**Funding fees** are a crucial and necessary part of trading platforms, strategically implemented to **incentivize traders to choose the less popular side of a trade in terms of open interest**.
For example, if there are more **Long** positions than **Shorts** in open interest, then **Longs** **will pay a funding fee to** **Shorts**. The same principle applies in reverse – if **Shorts** exceed **Longs**, then **Shorts** **will pay a funding fee to** **Longs**.
This encourages a **balanced market participation** and helps drive higher trading volumes. By incentivizing traders to take positions that help maintain a healthier market balance, funding fees contribute to a more stable and robust trading environment overall.
Funding fees are paid **every block *****pro rata***** according to the position size**.
