Storm Trade users pay two types of fees:
- ๐ Network fee โ for executing a transaction on the TON blockchain;
- โ๏ธ Storm Trade protocol fee โ for using the platform and performing trading operations.
๐ TON blockchain network fee
The network fee consists of several components and is calculated based on many factors: the size and content of the transaction, network conditions, processing time, and so on.
๐ก Important: The exact fee cannot be predicted in advance. This is why most services reserve an amount with a buffer and return the remainder to the user once the transaction is complete.
On Storm Trade, opening a position charges around ~0.25 TON, of which ~0.17 TON is returned to the user's wallet.
๐ Network fee formula:
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
storage_fees | Payment for storing the smart contract on the blockchain when sending/receiving a transaction |
in_fwd_fees | Fee for delivering incoming external messages |
computation_fees | Payment for executing code in the TVM virtual machine |
action_fees | Payment for performing actions in the smart contract body |
out_fwd_fees | Payment for sending outgoing internal messages |
โ๏ธ Storm Trade protocol fee
The platform fee is charged when opening and closing a position and is deducted automatically from your collateral.
๐ The fee depends on the trading pair:
- ๐ฐ For USDT pairs โ from 0.06% to 0.12%
- ๐ For TON/NOT pairs โ from 0.12% to 0.2%
- ๐ต For Forex pairs โ 0.06%
- ๐ช For Gold โ 0.08%
๐ก Example:
Opening a 100 USDT position with 10x leverage on a USDT pair:
100 * 10 * 0.0012 = 1.2 USDTwill be charged as a fee.
๐ Funding
Funding Fee is a recurring (hourly) payment between traders holding opposite positions, used in perpetual futures trading.
๐ How funding works:
-
If most traders go long and funding turns positive:
- ๐ธ Long traders pay, short traders receive.
-
If shorts dominate the market and funding turns negative:
- ๐ธ Short traders pay, long traders receive.
๐ Funding helps balance supply and demand in the perpetual futures market.
๐ Understanding the fee structure helps you manage your positions and costs on Storm Trade more effectively.
