Fees are a spread business too: you buy execution at a venue fee tier and sell it at a client schedule. Safetifi tracks both sides, shows where your volume actually sits on each venue’s ladder, and reports the realised spread rather than the intended one.
The fee rates engine prices client schedules explicitly as a markup over the venue ladder that produces your own cost. That makes the fee spread a set number rather than a residual — and makes it obvious when a client’s schedule has drifted below the tier their flow now qualifies for.
Venue fee ladders are volume-banded and your position on them changes as flow moves between venues. Safetifi tracks where your volume actually sits on each ladder, including how close you are to the next band — which is often a larger P&L lever than repricing clients.
The spread you set and the spread you earn diverge as flow mixes across venues and products. Reporting the realised fee spread beside the schedule shows that divergence, per client, instead of leaving it inside a blended monthly number.
Managing both sides of trading costs for an intermediary: the fees venues charge the firm, driven by volume-banded tier ladders, and the fee schedules the firm charges its own clients — plus the realised spread between them by client, product and venue.
Because your cost of execution changes as your volume moves between venues, without anyone repricing anything. Knowing how close you are to the next band frequently identifies more margin than adjusting client schedules does.
