         The calculation uses the effective amounts from the quote that account for gas fees:
         1. Get effective sell and buy amounts from the quote
         2. Compare the actual trade to the hypothetical quote-based trade
+        3. Compare with the limit price (surplus)
+        4. Return the minimum of the two improvements
 
         For partially fillable orders, rounding is such that the reference for computing price
         improvement is as if the quote would determine the limit price. That means that for sell
         orders the quote buy amount is rounded up and for buy orders the quote sell amount is
         rounded down.
