πŸ’ΈFees

In prop trading on Upscale, fees play a key role in determining your net profitability. While there are no blockchain gas fees or rollover charges, traders should still consider the following fee types:

  • Fixed open/close fees

  • Fixed funding fee

  • Spread

πŸ“Š Open/Close Fees

Every time you open or close a position, a fee is applied.

πŸ“Š Funding Fee

Funding fee is hourly payment, exchanged between long and short position holders to maintain alignment between the contract price and the underlying asset's market price. These fees are influenced by the demand for long and short positions in the market.

Unlike dynamic funding rates on exchanges, Upscale uses a fixed funding fee model:

  • Funding fees are applied every 8 hours

  • Upscale charges a fixed funding fee of 0.03%.

πŸ“Œ Funding is charged proportionally to your position size and is deducted directly from your margin.

πŸ•’ The funding schedule runs on fixed 8-hour cycles. For example:

  • 00:00 UTC

  • 08:00 UTC

  • 16:00 UTC

πŸ“Š Spread

Spread is the difference between the bid price (the price at which you can sell an asset) and the ask price (the price at which you can buy it).

πŸ”Ή Simple example: If Bitcoin can be bought at $60,000 and sold at $59,950, then the spread = $50.

The spread is dynamic and depends on:

  • Selected trading pair

  • Current market volatility

  • Market depth

πŸ“Œ Important:

When opening positions with an interval of 1 hour or more, the spread for BTC and ETH will be zero, while market spread applies to other pairs. If positions are opened with an interval of less than 1 hour, a market spread applies when opening positions on BTC and ETH. When closing positions, the spread for BTC and ETH remains zero regardless of the interval.

Spread data updates in real-time and is visible in the trading terminal.
