 In social trading, the intervals are categorized into per trade, daily, and weekly. 

1. Per trade intervals, performance fees is instant, it will be paid after the position closes. 
2. For platforms that charge a weekly performance fee, the fee is typically calculated based on the performance of the signal provider from Sunday 00:00 to Saturday 24:00. This means that the fee is based on the overall performance of the signal provider throughout the week. The fee is then deducted from the follower's account balance at the end of the week.
3. On the other hand, platforms that charge a daily performance fee calculate the fee based on the performance of the signal provider from 00:00 to 24:00 each day. This means that the fee is based on the daily performance of the signal provider. Similar to the weekly performance fee, the daily fee is deducted from the follower's account balance at the end of each day.

If you are a follower of a social trading account and you find that your account is not replicating the actions of the providers, there are several reasons why this could be the case.

First, you should check your risk management settings to make sure they are properly configured. If the settings are not set up correctly, the system may not replicate the trades of the providers. 

Second, if you have not activated the subscription to the provider, the system will not be able to replicate their trades. Make sure you have activated the subscription and that it is still active. 

Third, if the subscription has been suspended, the system will not be able to replicate the trades of the providers. Make sure the subscription is still active and that you have not been blocked from the system. 

Finally, if you do not have enough money in the account, the system will not be able to replicate the trades of the providers. Make sure you have enough money in the account to cover the trades. 

By taking these steps, you should be able to ensure that your social trading account is replicating the actions of the providers. 

Social trading is a popular way to trade in the financial markets. It allows traders to copy the strategies and activities of experienced traders, called providers. This allows traders to benefit from the expertise of the provider without needing to have the same level of experience themselves. 

The provider is the experienced trader who shares their trading strategies and activities. They execute trades on their own accounts, and these trades are automatically replicated by followers.

The follower is an individual who chooses to copy the trades of a provider. Followers replicate the provider's trades in their own accounts, allowing them to automate trading. This means that the follower does not need to have the same level of experience as the provider in order to benefit from their strategies.

In summary, the provider is the experienced trader who shares their strategies, and the follower is an individual who chooses to copy those strategies.

Many people are interested in social trading, which is a form of investing that allows users to copy the strategies of experienced traders. However, one of the questions that often comes up is whether there is any cashback entitlement for a social trading account. Unfortunately, there is no entitlement to cashback for a social trading account. 

The minimum amount required for a follower to copy a social trading provider depends on the provider's settings. This could include having a minimum amount of trading experience or having a certain amount of capital available. Once the follower meets the provider's requirements, they can begin copying the provider's trades. Depending on the provider, the follower may be able to copy all of the provider's trades or just a portion. They may also be able to set their own risk parameters, such as the amount of money they are willing to risk per trade. 

A Follower account must have a minimum balance to follow the Provider. For example, the provider set USD 100 as the minimum balance, so the investor should have the same amount or more than 100 as the requirement to follow the provider.

If investor equity less than USD 100 the error "Not enough Money" will be appear

This fee is paid to the fund manager as a reward for their successful management of the fund. However, it is not uncommon for investors to find themselves asking, "Why hasn't my performance fee been paid?"

The answer to this question may be due to a concept known as the high water mark. This is a rule that states that the fund manager must first cover any losses incurred by the fund before they can receive their performance fee. In other words, if the fund has lost money since the last time the performance fee was paid, then the fund manager must first make up those losses before they can receive their fee.

In summary, if you are asking why your performance fee hasn't been paid, it may be because the fund manager must first cover any losses incurred by the fund before they can receive their fee. This is known as the high water mark and is a standard practice in the industry. 

There is no requirement to become a social trading provider. Anyone with the necessary knowledge and experience can set up their own social trading account and start trading. All that is required is an understanding of the financial markets, the ability to identify profitable trading opportunities, and the willingness to take risks. 

Trading Results are the aggregated profits of copied trades of a Subscription. They are later on used to calculate Payments. Trading Results’ calculation is performed by the Social Trading. Trading Interval is specified as one of the Offer conditions. We have a fews options for Interval;

Per Trade

Daily

Weekly

Monthly

General Examples;

Example 1:

Performance Fee = 20%

Interval: Per Trade

Performance Fee = 20%

Interval: Per Trade

Trading result Mode: Positive Profit

Trade 1 PnL = $50 → $10 Performance Fee will be paid out;

Trade 2 PnL = - $100 → No Fee;

Trade 3 PnL = $20 → $4 Fee will be paid out;

Trade 4 PnL = $60 → $12 Fee will be paid out.

Example 2:

Performance Fee = 20%

Interval: Daily

Trading result Mode: Positive Profit

Day 1 Trade 1 PnL = $50;

Day 1 Trade 2 PnL = - $100;

Interval’s Profit = - $50 → No Fee

Day 2 Trade 3 PnL = $20;

Day 2 Trade 4 PnL = $60;

Interval’s Profit = $80 → $16 Fee will be paid

Example 3:

Performance Fee = 10%

Interval: Weekly

Trading result Mode: HWM

Week 1 PnL = $400 → $40 Performance Fee will be paid out;

Week 2 PnL = -$200 → No Fee ($400 - $200 = $200 < $400 HWM);

Week 3 PnL = $300 → $10 Fee will be paid ($400 - $200 + $300 = $500; $500 - $400 = $100)

 Copytrading is a popular way to make money in the financial markets, but sometimes it can be difficult to find the right provider. If your copytrade account does not exist in the provider's listing, there are several potential reasons why. 

The most common reason is that the provider has not yet started trading. Many providers require that their traders have a certain amount of experience before they can open a copytrade account. 

Another potential reason is that the provider has set their account to private. This means that only certain people can access the account, and your account may not be included in the listing. 

Finally, it is possible that provider's account is inactive. If there is no active trading within one month, the system may have automatically deactivated it. 

In conclusion, if your copytrade account does not exist in the provider's listing, it is likely due to one of the reasons mentioned above. Make sure to contact the provider to find out the exact reason before attempting to open a new account. 

Performance Fee is the way for Followers to pay Providers for their work. This is a portion (in percent) of a profitable Trading result of a Subscription paid to the Provider. In case of a negative Trading result, Performance Fee calculation is skipped. Performance Fee calculation is controlled by Follower configurations (Trading Result’s calculation Mode and Trading profits) and Offers (Performance Fee Percentage and Trading Interval).

The fee is processed as a pair of withdrawal and deposit balance operations with custom comments. The calculated fee amount is withdrawn from the Follower as a Withdrawal PerformanceFee transaction type and deposited to the Provider as a Deposit PerformanceFee transaction type. By default, the receiver of the Fee is the Provider’s Trading account itself, but if a Provider has a Fee Receiver Account specified in the Provider’s Settings, Performance Fee transactions will be routed there.

Performance fee formula:

Performance Fee = Subscription’s Raw Profit * Fee %

Example:

Performance fee = 20%;

Interval: Per Trade

Mode: Positive Profit

Commission = -$10/lot

Trading volume = 0.5 lot

Raw Profit (based on the open-close price difference) = $20

• Performance Fee if MetaTrader fees are included:

Performance Fee = $20 * 20% = $4 

Agent Fee, paid by Providers to the third-parties such as Introducing Brokers or social media influencers who attract Followers to the broker’s social trading platform. Agent Fee are paid as percentages of the Performance Fee deducted from a Follower trading account. The person paying the Agent Fees is the Provider, but technically, the Provider does not issue these transactions. Provider only set how much will be allocate and system will be automated calculate the fees

Agent fee formula:

Agent Fee = Performance Fee * Agent Fee

Example

Agent fee: 10%

Performance fee: 20%

Fee type: Positive profit

Follower closes a trade with $100 profit

Follower pays = $100 * 20% = $20 Performance fee withdrawn

Agent Fee = $Performance fee withdrawn * Agent fee % = $20 * 10% = $2

Provider receives = Performance fee withdrawn - Agent fee = $20 - $2 = $18 

It is possible for a follower to close an order by provider social trading. This is because the follower has the ability to make their own decisions and execute their own trades. By using the provider's social trading platform, the follower is able to view real-time market data and analyze it to make informed decisions on when to enter and exit positions.

The follower can also set their own risk parameters and decide how much capital they want to allocate to each trade. This allows them to control their risk and take advantage of any potential profits. By closing the order, the follower is able to take profits or limit losses.

This allows the follower to make their own decisions and take control of their risk while still taking advantage of the provider's real-time market data and analysis.

It is an ideal solution for less experienced traders (followers) who want to connect with and copy the trades of more skilled traders without having to spend hours researching and analyzing the markets.

This join link is restricted to a select group of investors, and it is the provider's responsibility to distribute it among this specific audience. 

Tradingpro grants its providers the option to become private or public. 

Private copy trade

Private Providers are hidden from the public listings (both in Ratings and in the Client Portal). The only way to follow such Providers is via a Join Link to their Offer.

Join Link is a web link leading to a Follower registration page where the Provider and the Offer are predefined. It can be used more conveniently to share a subscription link. Optionally, a Join Link may also have an expiration date after which the link becomes inactive (the Offer continues being active, though).

Being private can be helpful for Providers who do not want to share their strategy with broad audiences but only with a few people they know personally.

Offers can be private as well, such Offers are also available for Followers only via Join Link. Public Providers can utilize Private Offers as well. For example, the Join Link can be secretly shared somewhere externally, e.g., on social media, and the Followers proceed by getting a time-limited promotion with Performance Fee discounts from the Provider.

Public copy trade

In public copy trading, the trading activities of participants are visible to the broader community within the copy trading platform. Signal providers (experienced traders) make their trading strategies and performance data publicly available on the platform. Any user on the platform can choose to follow and replicate the trades of these public signal providers. Public copy trading platforms often emphasize a community aspect, where traders can share insights, discuss strategies, and learn from each other. 

Offer is a list of conditions by which a Provider works with their Followers. It determines:

The Performance Fee paid by the Followers for the Provider’s service;

Periodicity of Performance Fee payments;

How this Provider can be followed (publicly, with a join link, with an agent);

Minimum balance a Follower account has to have in order to follow the Provider.

It is required for a Provider to have at least one Offer to allow Followers to join. Providers can create several Offers to let Followers choose between the joining conditions. Providers can edit their Offers at any time. Providers also can archive their empty Offers to remove them from the list of available Offers.

The High-Water Mark (HWM) Model serves as the mechanism for determining the performance fees a strategy earns from its followers.

The HWM represents the peak value achieved by the following account when performance fees are applied.This approach guarantees that the strategy provider is not compensated redundantly for identical performance.

Performance fees are only awarded to the strategy provider when there is a generation of new profits for the follower's account. 

The high-water mark ensures that the manager is not compensated with significant amounts for poor performance. 

Performance fee calculation :

Performance fee : Investor profit x performance fee %

For example : $100 x 30% : $30

Performance fee : $30

The Performance Fee is determined by the net profit generated by the copier, employing a High-Water Mark model for calculation.
