In General

Each dealer will be charged a basic monthly participation fee of $500.
The active side of a trade is the order that takes liquidity from the CSE and the passive side of a trade is the order that provides liquidity to the CSE.
Unintentional crosses will have each side designated as active or passive and will be either charged a fee or earn a rebate, as they are part of the continuous auction market.
Intentional crosses will neither be charged a fee nor earn a rebate until further notice.
There will be no minimum monthly trading fee and it is expected that some dealers will be earning a rebate from the CSE each month. For those who prefer, dealers may elect to defer realizing their rebates and instead preserve same as a rolling credit against future fee payments otherwise due to the CSE.
The fees and rebates described above are subject to change.
