There are two transactions involved in opening / closing / editing a position:

* User sends the first transaction to request open / close / deposit collateral / withdraw collateral
* Keepers observe the blockchain for these requests then execute them

The cost of the second transaction is displayed in the confirmation box as the "Execution Fee". This network cost is paid to the blockchain network.
