Applies when you open or close a position. The current trading fee is 3.5 basis points (0.035%). 

Funding 

A periodic debit or credit while you hold a position, based on the applicable funding rate and your position direction. Funding is not a trading fee.

The applicable fee is always shown on the trading platform before you place an order.  Fees may vary by instrument or be subject to change, so always check the platform for the current fee before trading.
