8.2 Spot Trading Fees

Starting August 4, Flipster will charge a trading fee on all spot trading transactions. This fee is automatically deducted at the time of the trade and is based on the taker fee model.

For basic users (non-VIP), a trading fee of 0.05% applies to all spot trades. Flipster also offers reduced trading fees for users based on their VIP Tier status; the higher your VIP Tier, the lower the trading fee.

8.3 Order Types

Flipster currently supports three order types: Market Order, Trigger Order, and Recurring Buy. Execute trades instantly at the best available market price.
