This is a good idea, but it should be offered as an option.
The big speculators would take it and be happy. The miners looking to sell a few coins a month would stick with the percentage.

My exchange doesn't charge any commission for trades.

True, but your exchange isn't really instant, is it? Smiley

It's every 5 minutes right now, I don't know why he couldn't speed that up if there was demand. You just use the mail for deposits iiuc.

You should be able to make money even with the commission.

Oh I can but the amount of price variation makes it so I have to wait a few hours for every trade.  With no commission I can set trades that are very close to each other to take advantage of the minute to minute variations rather than the hour to hour.

You make a good point there. Perhaps you should make a killing and then start a zero commission exchange? Smiley

A lot of us are 0% at MtGox for a month now, pretty much every active trader there would be I assume. Miners who just place sells wouldn't be I guess.

I was thinking some or all of the major exchanges should start a paid subscriber service with 0% commission on trades with a monthly fee in it's place.

Mt. Gox had described that as "coming soonish":

I agree, I'm making a killing, and I would love to pay monthly to continue being able to trade with 0%. I'm sure it helps increase liquidity, so it is good for the market, right?

I was thinking some or all of the major exchanges should start a paid subscriber service with 0% commission on trades with a monthly fee in it's place.  So you could trade with the whatever% commission or pay say 1BTC a month to trade commission free.  It would make day trading a lot easier.  Since they canceled my order from the crash, it's so easy for me to make money day trading right now with the 0% commission on MtGox.
