All but decided, says the market. The remaining cents are the price of the rare surprise, and the fee comes off them first.
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.
