Research direction
This issue is a collection of ideas for managing trading fees. It lacks a specific, actionable task. To proceed, a contributor should first review the existing comments for any refined direction, then propose a concrete implementation plan for one of the ideas (e.g., integrating with a specific low fee exchange API). The codebase is in Python; look at the existing exchange integration code in the repository for patterns.
