30-day trading volume
30-day trading volume is the rolling sum of your filled order notional over the last 30 days. Exchanges use it as the main qualification metric for fee tiers and VIP levels.
The metric is a moving window, not a calendar month: each day, the oldest day's volume drops out and the newest day's is added. Exchanges typically evaluate it daily (often at 00:00 UTC) and adjust your fee tier for the following day.
What counts varies by venue. Futures volume is usually measured in notional terms — position size, including leverage — which is why futures traders reach volume thresholds far faster than spot traders with the same capital. Some exchanges count spot and derivatives separately with separate tier ladders; others combine them with multipliers.
For fee planning, 30-day volume is also the number that determines what a payback is worth to you. Multiply your typical monthly volume by your exchange's taker rate for a realistic monthly fee bill, then apply 50–67% to see the recoverable share. loweef's calculator does exactly this arithmetic with each partner's live rates.
