Mostly decided, says the market. You are paying a fee to collect a few cents the market already agrees on.
The cover charge

Resting orders pay no fee on this series. Formula: 7% × contracts × price × (1 − price), rounded up, on orders that take liquidity. Break-even assumes you hold to settlement; trading out early pays the fee twice.
