Our take on NDAX
NDAX is a Calgary-based exchange with a straightforward flat percentage trading fee and an order-book interface. It is on the CSA's list of authorized platforms and supports CAD funding. It's a good middle ground between very simple apps and professional exchanges.
NDAX's simple flat-percentage trading fee is easy to understand compared with tiered maker/taker schedules, and its order-book interface avoids the hidden spreads of 'instant buy' products. It offers a broader coin list than some Canadian competitors. As a Calgary-based company, it's a natural choice for Albertans who want a local, registered platform.
Verdict
Competitive fees and a Canadian home base.
What we like
- +Low flat trading fee
- +Order-book trading
- +Canadian (Alberta-based)
Watch out for
- −Interface less polished than global apps
- −CIPF does not cover crypto
How NDAX scores
Canadian protection carries 40% of the weight, so an unregistered firm can't outrank a registered one on price alone. See the full methodology.
