Can I get a free trial?

What happens if I exceed my 10k/month zero-fee trading limit?

Once your monthly trading volume exceeds $10,000 in major currencies (USD, GBP, CAD, AUD, EUR, CHF) or its equivalent in your local currency, standard trading fees will apply to any volume beyond this threshold. If a single trade pushes your total trading volume over $10,000, only the portion exceeding this limit will be subject to fees.

How does Kraken+ impact instant, recurring and custom orders?

For instant orders, the fees and total amount displayed at the time of the order will reflect the subscription discount.

For recurring and custom orders, if your Kraken+ subscription status changes before the order is executed (processed and completed), the applicable fees may be adjusted based on your subscription status at that time.
