XCore Pricing (Draft)
Each live XCore is charged a monthly fee based on the maximum (not the sum) of Instance, Connectivity, Volume, and Transaction Fees:
XCore Fee = Max (Instance Fees, Connectivity Fees, Volume Fees, Transaction Fees)
The total monthly fee is the sum of all XCore Fees:
Total Fee = Sum (XCore Fee)
Instance, Connectivity, Volume, and Transaction Fees are different fee groups defined below.
1. Instance Fees
Each XCore instance is charged a fixed monthly fee. The Instance Fees are the sum of all such fees.
| Fee Group | Item | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instance Fee | XCore | $2000 | Each XCore instance is charged a fixed monthly fee of $2000. |
2. Connectivity Fees
Connectivity Fees are charged monthly and calculated as the sum of Giveup Fees and the maximum (not the sum) of Maker and Taker Fees, with each component representing the total of its respective connectivity fees.
Connectivity Fees = Giveup Fees + Max(Maker Fees, Taker Fees)
| Fee Group | Type | Item | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Connectivity Fee | Maker | FIX | $600 | Connectivity via each FIX Maker is charged a fixed monthly fee of $600. Included are one pricing and one trading connection. |
| Taker | MT4/5 | $1200 | Connectivity via each MT4 or MT5 Taker is charged a fixed monthly fee of $1200. Included are one pricing and one trading connection, one bridge and one feeder. | |

| Giveup | FIX | $400 | Post trade interfaces are charged a fixed monthly fee of $400 per each connection. |
3. Volume Fees
Executed volume is charged as a monthly fee and measured in millions of USD notional ([M]). Fiat Fees and Crypto Fees are the sums of all fiat- and crypto-based volume fees, respectively. Volume Fees are the discounted total of these fees:
Volume Fees = (Sum(Fiat Fees) + Sum(Crypto Fees)) × Discount(Reference Volume)
Discount(Reference Volume) is a function that takes the Reference Volume as input and returns a percentage discount, which increases as the trading volume grows. For further details, please refer to the Volume Fee Discount Calculator at the bottom of this page. By default, the Reference Volume is the total executed incoming volume for a specific XCore instance. However, brokers may opt to group up to three XCore instances, in which case the Reference Volume is the sum of the Reference Volumes for all grouped XCore instances. Grouping allows brokers with multiple XCore instances to benefit from an elevated discount level, which is applied uniformly across all grouped XCore instances.
| Fee Group | Type | Item | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volume Fees | Fiat | Margin Fee | 0.50 [USD/M] | A Margin Fee of 0.50 [USD/M] is charged on the total executed fiat-based trading volume booked to each margin account. |
| Execution Fee | 1.00 [USD/M] per side | An Execution Fee of 1.00 [USD/M] per side (incoming/outgoing) is charged on the total executed fiat-based trading volume. For XCore-to-XCore or Internalized (B-book) volume, only one side is charged. | ||
| Crypto | Margin Fee | 2.50 [USD/M] per side | A Margin Fee of 2.50 [USD/M] is charged on the total executed crypto-based trading volume booked to each margin account. | |
| Execution Fee | 5.00 [USD/M] per side | An Execution Fee of 5.00 [USD/M] per side (incoming/outgoing) is charged on the total executed crypto-based trading volume. For XCore-to-XCore or Internalized (B-book) volume, only one side is charged. |
4. Transaction Fees
Transaction Fees are charged monthly and calculated as the total number of orders with a non-zero fill size (TX), multiplied by the Transaction Fee.
Transaction Fees = Sum(TX) x Transaction Fee
| Fee Group | Item | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transaction Fees | TX | 0.0025 [USD/TX] | Each order with a non-zero fill size incurs a charge of 0.0025 USD. |
