Bitmex was the last mostly-fair platform that I knew about before they decided to give the middle finger to small traders and market makers yesterday. It seems that every exchange I look at has these VIP structures that are just about funneling money from the small guy to the big guys who have enough money to reach these high VIP levels and thereby enjoy lower fees. It is impossible to compete on the lower timeframes when you are at such a massive competitive disadvantage.
So what are some derivative exchanges that have at least a mostly level playing field that are also safe, and has decent volume?
