How is yield calculated?

Yield (%) is the key metric that indicates a Trader’s success on Copy Trading Service. It reflects the overall return based on account equity over time.

How it’s calculated:

Yield (%) = ( (Equity_end_1 / Equity_begin_1) * (Equity_end_2 / Equity_begin_2) * ... * (Equity_end_N / Equity_begin_N) - 1) * 100%

Where: 

• Equity_begin_X = Equity at the start of period X 
• Equity_end_X = Equity at the end of period X 
• N = Total number of periods included

What defines a period? 

Periods are separated by balance operations (such as deposits or withdrawals).

Important to note: 

• Yield is calculated from the account opening or from the point where the account reached zero or negative equity (total loss). 
• A full withdrawal (equity = 0) does not count as a total loss. This method ensures a fair and consistent way to evaluate a Trader’s performance over time.
