Different exchanges have different trading views. And there is no “this overview is the best”-view. You should yourself determine which trading view that suits you the best. What the views normally have in common is that they all show the order book or at least part of the order book, a price chart of the chosen cryptocurrency and order history. They normally also have buy and sell-boxes. Before you choose an exchange, try to have a look at the trading view so that you can ascertain that it feels right to you. The below is a picture of the trading view at The Rock Trading:

For investors who prefer to pick-up existing orders from the order book, this might be an attractive trading fee model.

0.20% is in line with industry average (global industry average is around 0.25%).
