How It Works

From copying a trade to paying your fee — four simple steps, fully transparent.

Step 1

Copy a Trader

Pick a strategy provider from the marketplace. Their trades are automatically copied to your MT4/MT5 account in real time.

Step 2

Trades Close in Profit

As copied trades close, your realized profit accumulates. Losses are tracked too — no fee is charged on losing weeks.

Step 3

Fee Calculated Weekly

Every Monday, we calculate 30% of your net new profit above the high-water mark. If no new profit, your fee is $0.

Step 4

Pay Your Invoice

You receive a detailed invoice with full breakdown. Pay by card within 3 days. Auto-pay available.

No profit = No invoice. It really is that simple.
02

The 30% Performance Fee

When you profit, a fixed 30% performance fee is charged on net new profits above the high-water mark. The split is fully transparent.

High Water Mark (HWM) Protection

The HWM is the highest profit level you've reached with a specific strategy. Fees are only charged on new profits above this mark. If you lose money and then recover, you pay nothing on the recovery.

Your Equity High Water Mark Billable Profit
Week 1 +$1,000
First profit above starting equity. HWM set to $1,000.
Fee (30% of $1,000) $300
Week 2 -$400
Loss week. Cumulative: $600. HWM stays at $1,000. No new high = no fee.
Fee $0
Week 3 +$600
Recovery + new profit. Cumulative: $1,200. Only $200 is above the HWM. You don't pay on the $400 recovery.

Billing Cycle

A clear, predictable billing rhythm you can count on.

Weekly Billing

Fees are calculated every Monday for the previous week (Monday to Sunday). You receive an invoice with the full breakdown.

Every Monday
3-Day Grace Period

You have 3 days to pay each invoice. After the grace period, copy access is paused until payment is made.

72 hours
Payment Methods

Pay with credit/debit card via Stripe. Auto-pay available for automatic weekly payments.

Providers and affiliates receive payouts directly to their Stripe Connect accounts. Stripe charges a small transfer fee (0.25% + $0.25) per payout — this is not our fee.

Real Billing Cycle Example

Follow a real 4-week billing cycle to see exactly when fees are calculated, invoiced, and paid.

W1
Mar 3 – Mar 9 +$820 profit

Trades close with $820 net profit. HWM set to $820. Fee: 30% of $820 = $246.

Invoice generated Mon Mar 10 • Paid via auto-pay Mar 10
W2
Mar 10 – Mar 16 -$350 loss

Cumulative profit drops to $470. Below HWM of $820. No invoice generated. $0 fee.

Mon Mar 17 • No invoice — nothing to pay
W3
Mar 17 – Mar 23 +$500 profit

Cumulative: $970. Still below HWM of $820? No — $970 > $820. New profit above HWM: $150. Fee: 30% of $150 = $45.

Invoice generated Mon Mar 24 • Paid via Stripe Mar 25 • New HWM: $970
W4
Mar 24 – Mar 30 +$1,100 profit

Cumulative: $2,070. Above HWM of $970, so new profit = $1,100. Fee: 30% of $1,100 = $330.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our fee structure.

What if I copy multiple strategies?
Each strategy has its own independent High Water Mark. Fees are calculated separately per strategy. A loss in one does not offset profits in another — this ensures each provider is fairly compensated for their performance.
What about open (unrealized) trades?
Unrealized P&L from open trades is not counted until the trade closes. You only pay fees on realized (closed) profits. A position that is currently up but hasn't closed won't generate a fee until it actually closes in profit.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No minimum commitment, no lock-in period, no cancellation fee. Cancel any subscription instantly from your dashboard. Any fees accrued up to cancellation are still payable, but you will never be charged for future performance.
Is there a minimum fee or minimum invoice?
Invoices below $0.50 are automatically skipped. The small profit accumulates to the next billing cycle via HWM, so you are never bothered with micro-invoices.
Do providers offer free trials?
Many strategy providers offer 7-14 day free trials. During the trial, you copy trades at zero cost and can evaluate performance risk-free. Standard fees apply only after the trial ends.
What happens if I have a losing week?
If your cumulative profit with a provider is below the High Water Mark, your fee is exactly $0. You receive no invoice. The HWM ensures you never pay fees on recovery — only on genuinely new profits.
How do I pay? What methods are accepted?
We accept credit/debit cards via Stripe. You can enable auto-pay so invoices are paid automatically each week. You have a 3-day grace period to pay each invoice.
Are there any hidden fees or platform charges?
None. The 30% performance fee on new profits is the only cost. No signup fee, no monthly subscription, no data fee, no withdrawal fee, no platform maintenance charge. Your funds stay with your own broker.
What if I stop copying and resume later?
Your High Water Mark is preserved. If you unsubscribe and later re-subscribe to the same provider, you will not be re-charged for profits already billed. The HWM picks up where it left off.
What if my profit is very small, like $1?
Invoices below $0.50 are automatically skipped. If your 30% fee on a small profit would be under $0.50, no invoice is generated. The profit still counts toward your High Water Mark, so you won't be re-charged for it later. The small amount simply accumulates to the next billing cycle.
Can I dispute an invoice or request a review?
Absolutely. Every invoice includes a full breakdown showing each closed trade, the profit amount, and how the fee was calculated. If anything looks wrong, contact our support team before the 3-day payment window. We will review the invoice and correct any errors before payment is due.
What happens if I miss the 3-day payment window?
If an invoice is not paid within the 3-day grace period, copy access for that subscription is paused until payment is made. Your open positions are not affected — they remain open with your broker. Once you pay the outstanding invoice, copying resumes immediately. We send email reminders before the deadline so you never miss it by accident.

Why Our Fee Structure Works

Built-in protections that keep the model fair for copiers and providers alike

🛡

High Water Mark Protection

You never pay fees on recovered losses. The HWM ensures that if your account drops and then recovers, you only pay on net new profits above your previous peak. No double-dipping.

🤝

Aligned Incentives

Providers earn only when their copiers profit. This performance-based model keeps providers disciplined and focused on sustainable results rather than reckless trading.

💲

No Subscription Fees

Unlike flat-rate platforms that charge regardless of performance, you pay nothing during losing periods. If your copied strategies don't profit, your fee is zero.

BILLING TRANSPARENCY

Full Visibility Into Every Invoice

📄

Trade-by-Trade Breakdown

Every invoice lists each individual trade, its PnL, and how the fee was calculated. You can verify every line item yourself.

🚫

Zero During Losing Periods

If a billing cycle ends with no net new profit above your high water mark, no invoice is generated. You only pay when you are ahead.

✅

No Hidden Charges

No setup fees, no monthly minimums, no withdrawal charges. The 30% performance fee is the only cost, and it only applies to net new profits.
