In Options Trading, What Is a Concept Similar to RBF’s Fee Adjustment for Priority?

A concept similar to RBF's fee adjustment is the strategic modification of a limit order's price to gain execution priority. To ensure a faster trade, an options trader might submit a more aggressive limit price (higher bid or lower ask) than the current best price, effectively "jumping the queue" in the order book.

This aggressive pricing acts as the higher incentive, analogous to the increased transaction fee in RBF that incentivizes a miner to prioritize the transaction.
