On exchanges is it cheaper?

[Backside walkaround]

That's one of the good things about exchanges like Yobit & Poloniex (and Cryptsy before they died) is the percentage as a fee.  It's good for people who only can buy a small amount, because with things like stock brokerages, a flat fee of $7/trade will kill you if you're only buying $40 worth of stock.  I think it's beneficial for bitcoiners with not so much money.

On exchanges is it cheaper to sell one big amount or smaller amounts with a 0.2% exchange rate tax?

it is not tax it is called "fee" and since it is a percentage of the amount you sell then it doesn't matter if it is small or bit you will pay that percentage of your volume.
eg. you can sell 1BTC and pay 0.002BTC or you can sell 2x 0.5BTC and pay 2x 0.001BTC fee

although in many exchanges (not all of them) the fee percentage changes the more you trade for example if you trade 1BTC it would be 0.2% but if you trade 1000 it would be 0.18% and so on.

As explained by some members here, you finally end up with same fees irrespective of quantity smaller or larger unless there is any fixed kind of fee for every order. I am not sure about crypto exchanges but I know few stock trading websites where the transaction fee is charged up front and not based on any transaction amount (example – $0.20 per transaction up to trade worth $10,000) so they charge $0.20 for trade of $1 and the same $0.20 for trade of $10,000). I would like to try such system in crypto trade if there is any such service.

I use yobit for trading but I know few stock trading websites where the transaction fee is charged up front and not based on any transaction amount, so they charge $0.20 for trade of $1 and the same $0.20 for trade of $10,000). I would like to try and suggest such system in crypto trade if there is any such service.

some sites charges based on transaction , per transaction 0.0002 BTC kind of thing. best is calculate your self to judge the rate , if it per transaction based best sell minimum transaction , if it is based on percentage then there is no difference and you can do any kind of transaction.

You are writing about the 'fee', right? And I assume that at the site where you want to exchange it is always 0.2%. If I am right, neither of them is cheaper for you because 0.2% will be always a fair amount compared to what you want to exchange. In BTC network, it is a bit more difficult to calculate, but within the exchange site you can easily calculate with the given fee. I often exchange an overall big value in one go but that is only to save efforts. To exchange a very big amount, I suggest splitting it into smaller exchanges - if you want - to prevent causing slippage in the market and to exchange small amounts, you may want to wait the end of a disadvantageous slippage if you experience it in the market. From fee view, exchanges are usually better to exchange small amounts compared to individuals and although there is no significant fee difference between exchanging small or big amounts at your exchange, one more thing that I would consider in your place is the possibility of the exchange may go rogue. It is less likely to happen compared to an individual, but it could happen and besides optimizing your fee, you should consider this possibility, too and it may influence how much value you use on one exchange site.

You might want to trade with small amounts though fees always be the same but if you try several small trades it could help with price not going down, because if you try to trade big amounts price could either go very high if you are buying and go very low if you are selling.

That's only really problematic to other people and would have to be tens of thousands of BTC transferrred to greatly effect the price. Currently many thousand btc are probably exchanged in some way every day so adding to that by a small proportion is not a big deal.

And you are correct that the price will remain the same no matter how much you transfer and if you transfer a large amount at one time it would be extremely difficult to do.

There is no difference in selling small amount or big amount because the exchange rate tax is fixed.  Unless there is some rule implemented on the exchange that exempt large traders or smaller trader but that will kill the exchange profit.  On the other note, you can get a cheaper cost when you withdraw your coin in one process than withdrawing them by chunk.

i think 0.0002 transactions charges to withdraw the bitcoins from exchanges and very minimal charges for trading is something nothing to be worried about. 

[serjent05]

I think when you talk about transaction fee one exchanges, they are fixed.  Whether you are trading 0.001 BTc or 100 BTC, the fee is always the same.  It is automatically deducted once trading occurs.  So I think you shouldn't mind the fee, what you should mind is the profit you will gain on every trade you will do

[satmas]

Nah, it is the same whether you buy/sell in bulk or not, just make sure you are aware of the transaction fees.

I dont think there are allot of exchanges where you can get them cheaper off course there are people where you can get them for much less than the original price is but i dont think you will get the full price ever when you are selling them to people.

Yes, a .0002 fee is not bad at all. We are talking pennies on the dollar. Anything below 5% is really good. That’s also because I think most fee’s only end up being 3% max.
