Advanced perps route
This is not a beginner-first exchange pick. Use it when the intent is already on-chain perps, active trading, and wallet-based flow — then verify the official referral terms before trading.
Use this only when the user already wants on-chain perps and understands wallet, margin, funding, and liquidation risk.
Trader-built filter
I built Trade Shortlist after making more than $10M in cumulative gains across arbitrage, futures, and multiple exchange accounts. The practical rule is simple: use the discount and bonus if they are available, but do not let a headline offer override KYC friction, deposit access, app clarity, or whether the exchange actually fits how you will trade. Read how I use that experience.
Discount math
This uses fee-bearing traded notional, not account balance. A small beginner account can still create high fee volume if it trades frequently or uses leverage.
| Monthly trading volume | Standard fee | With 10% discount | Monthly savings | Annualized if volume repeats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | $1.00 | $0.90 | $0.10 | $1.20 |
| $10,000 | $10.00 | $9.00 | $1.00 | $12.00 |
| $50,000 | $50.00 | $45.00 | $5.00 | $60.00 |
| $100,000 | $100 | $90.00 | $10.00 | $120 |
| $500,000 | $500 | $450 | $50.00 | $600 |

FAQ
Partner rewards and rebates can vary by region, campaign, KYC, deposit, and trading requirements. Check the exact registration page before relying on any amount or percentage.
No. The bonus can help, but fit still matters more. Use the offer page to narrow the field, then confirm whether the exchange still matches your workflow, region, verification requirements, and product needs.
Usually either one exchange review, one direct comparison, or one signup guide. That is a cleaner path than opening several signup tabs based only on the headline offer.
