For example, if an option is traded at $1 (ETH at $1k), the fee will be $0.125 (instead of $0.3) Hence, trading fees can be defined as:\ `min((taker or maker * qty * index_price), (0.125 * option_price))` #### Example Scenario Symbol: ETH-30DEC22-1500-C\ Type: ETH Call Option\ Underlying: ETH\ Current Price: $1000\ Strike Price: $1500\ Quantity: 1 contracts\ Expiration Date: December 30, 2022\ Premium: 20 USDC User A sets a **limit sell order** for 1 ETH-30DEC22-1500-C contract, with price 20 USDC. User B places a **market buy order** for 1 of the same contract, and pays the 20 USDC premium. Trading fees paid by User A (Maker):\ `min((0.03% * 1 * $1000), (0.125 * $20)) = min($0.45, $2.5) = $0.45` Trading fees paid by User B (Taker):\ `min((0.05% * 1 * $1000), (0.125 * $20)) = min($0.75, $2.5) = $0.75` ### Settlement Fees When options expire in the money, there is an exchange of cash between buyers of the option and sellers of the option. Aevo charges a **0.015%** settlement fee on the **notional** of the option that expired in the money. This fee is charged to the holders of the option at expiry. Settlement fees can never be higher than 12.5% of the option's value. **Settlement fees are also not charged for Daily Options.** #### Example Scenario Symbol: ETH-30DEC22-1500-C\ Type: ETH Call Option\ Underlying: ETH\ Current Price: $2000\ Strike Price: $1500\ Quantity: 1 contracts\ Expiration Date: December 30, 2022 User A holds 1 contract of ETH-30DEC22-1500-C, which is in-the-money at expiry. Settlement Fees paid by User A:\ `min(0.015% * 1 * $2000, (0.125 * ($2000-$1500)) = min($0.3, $62.5) = $0.3` User B holds 1 contract of ETH-30DEC22-2500-C, which is out-of-the-money at expiry. User B pays no settlement fee. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://www.aevo.xyz/docs/aevo-products/aevo-exchange/fees/options-fees.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
