Day traders and high-frequency traders rack up fees fast — for the high-frequency crowd, fees are often the biggest fixed cost of the year, and a rebate discounts that cost directly. At 200,000 USDT/day over ~20 trading days a month at perp taker 0.05%, annual fees are about 24,000 USDT; via Quant Nova on Gate (70%), you get back about 16,800 USDT a year. Here's the math by volume.
Why day/high-frequency traders should bind a rebate
Frequent entries and exits mean many fee events adding up fast. You can't make the exchange stop charging fees, but a rebate reclaims a large share of what you've paid. The rebate rate applies to every fee, so the more you trade, the bigger the yearly saving. And high-frequency traders naturally accrue large fees, keeping their trailing-30-day XP high and putting them on the top tier with the maximum rebate.

The hidden boost for high frequency: tier
Your rebate tier is set by trailing-30-day fees. High-frequency traders generate large fees anyway, so they usually sit on the top or near-top tier — meaning the maximum rates above are the norm for them, not a best case. See how tiers and XP are calculated.

FAQ
How is rebate calculated for high-frequency trading?
Same as always: rebate = fees × rebate rate. The difference is that high frequency means many fee events and a large total, so the yearly saving is especially large.
Does rebate affect my execution speed or slippage?
No. Rebate refunds fees afterwards (some exchanges use charge-then-refund) and doesn't change your orders, fills or prices — zero latency impact on a high-frequency strategy.
Is there a minimum volume for day trading to earn rebate?
No threshold — any fees you generate earn a rebate; more volume just means a higher tier and a higher rate.
How soon can I withdraw?
It settles daily and can be withdrawn in USDT anytime on the platform. See how rebate is settled.
Why is OKX counted at only 20%?
OKX policy only permits advertising up to 20%, so the math uses 20%; for the extra beyond 20%, contact support.
