Makers and takers

A maker adds an order to the book, such as an offer to buy at a price below today's. A taker removes liquidity by accepting a price that is already on offer. Exchanges often charge makers less because waiting orders make the market deeper for everyone.

A worked example

On an exchange charging 0.1% to makers and 0.2% to takers, a £1,000 trade costs £1 as a maker and £2 as a taker. That difference adds up quickly for people who trade often.
