The pro versions of exchanges are much cheaper. For example, maker fees on kraken start at 0.25% (used to be 0.16%) and tier down from there. CB is a little higher % I believe.

Strike starts at 0.99%, was hoping the limit fee was closer to those numbers. For a smash buy I understand the fee and spread because of the short term volatility by the time you set up and confirm the buy.

Fees add up over time!
