# Dynamic Penalty Fees

{% hint style="warning" %}
Under the current contract settings, triggering a penalty fee will result in the transaction being reverted.
{% endhint %}

In a functional derivatives market, it is common for Pfair to deviate from Pspot depending on the liquidity and market situation. However, excessive deviation and unreasonable trading behavior should be discouraged through economic means. The definition of Pmark reflects this principle.

**To protect our LPs and limit order makers while not impacting normal trading behavior,** Oyster AMM employs a stability penalty mechanism. When a trade results in a **higher deviation of fair price to mark price than before the trade,** a stability penalty will be charged based on the following, in addition to the normal trading fees paid to **LPs or limit order makers.**

$$
D(P\_{\text{fair}}, P\_{\text{mark}}) = \frac{\max(P\_{\text{fair}}, P\_{\text{mark}})}{\min(P\_{\text{fair}}, P\_{\text{mark}})} - 1
$$

$$
StabilityPenaltyRatio(P\_{\text{fair}}) = a \cdot D^3 + b \cdot D^2 + c \cdot D + d
$$

Trades that result in deviation less than MMR would have no stability penalty. Trades that result in deviation above MMR would have an increasing stability penalty ratio.

## 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.synfutures.com/perp-trading/security/dynamic-penalty-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.
