Performance fee: how it works
This commission scheme is an excellent choice if you’re a confident and experienced Trader using MT4, MT5, or R StocksTrader, with stable mid- to long-term results and sound risk management.
How You Earn
- You receive a percentage of the profit your Investors make from copied trades during each investment period.
- Your commission = (Total investor profit for all transactions – Swaps – ECN/Prime commissions) × Your commission rate
Key points:
- Choose a commission rate from 5% to 50% * Both open and closed trades are included in the calculation
- Profit is calculated from the start of the subscription
- Commission is based on ‘new’ profit only (delta)
- Calculations happen at the end of each investment period or when the Investor unsubscribes
What’s ‘Delta’ (New Profit)?
Only profit above the previous highest result (High watermark) is used to calculate your commission.
Example:
After Period #1, total profit = $100 → Commission rate is 10% → 10% of $100 = $10
After Period #2, total profit = $150 → Delta is $150 - $100 = $50 → Commission is 10% of $50 = $5
After Period #3, total profit = $140 → Delta = $140 - $150 = -$10, it’s negative → No commission payout
