# Does the AI agent include the exchange’s fee in profit calculation

Yes—TradeLand AI agents include exchange fees in their profit calculations to deliver a realistic view of net returns.

## 📉 Why Include Fees?

Exchange fees are part of the cost of trading and directly impact the net profit or loss of each trade:

* **Entry & Exit Costs:** The agent must cover the fee before generating profit.
* **Fee Example:** With a 0.1% fee, the price must move more than 0.1% in your favor to net a profit.

## 🤖 Accurate Profit Assessment

Accounting for fees ensures the AI agent’s reported returns reflect true earnings after all costs.

## 🛠️ Customization & Transparency

Handling of fees can vary by agent settings and exchange. Always review your agent’s profit-calculation method.

**Note:** Factor in all trading costs (fees, slippage, etc.) when evaluating performance. Trading involves risk—only invest what you can afford to lose.
