# Fees

Fees should be visible before a user enters a trade or submits an oracle action.

This page describes fee categories. Exact live values should be shown on the market, trade, or action screen for the active product version.

## Trading Fees

A trading flow may include:

* premium paid to enter a position;
* venue or pool fees;
* network fees;
* route or execution costs;
* claim or settlement transaction costs.

The user should see total cost, maximum loss, and maximum payout before confirmation.

## Writer and Liquidity Fees

Writers and liquidity providers may earn premium or fees for taking bounded payout risk.

They should review:

* locked collateral;
* maximum payout;
* expiry;
* closeout rules;
* claim path;
* fee share, if any.

## Oracle and Contributor Fees

Oracle actions may require bonds, stakes, or challenge deposits.

Those are not ordinary trading fees. They exist to discourage bad submissions and fund review or bounty flows.

Before submitting oracle work, a user should see:

* required stake or bond;
* what can be lost;
* what can be earned;
* when the action finalizes;
* how challenges work.

## Exact Values

Do not rely on this page for exact live numbers.

Exact fees, bounties, bonds, and network costs should come from the active product page, CLI output, or transaction preview.

Use this order of authority:

1. signed transaction preview;
2. active product or market page;
3. CLI output for the exact command being run;
4. static documentation for category explanations only.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.amoeba.farm/trading/02-fees.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
