Common questions

• What is social trading commission?

  Social Trading commission is a fee that an investor pays to a strategy provider for profitable investments. With Social Trading, strategy providers pre-define a commission rate at which investors are to share their profits for the copied strategies.

  For example:

  If an investor makes a profit of USD 1 000 on an investment and the commission rate is 10%, he will be charged USD 100 to be paid as commission to the strategy provider.

  Social Trading commission is credited to a Standard trading account automatically created in the strategy provider’s Personal Area for this purpose. It is called the Social Trading Commission account and these funds once credited can be used for trading, withdrawals, or for transferring to other accounts.

  The commission rate set by a strategy provider can be adjusted later. However, the new commission rate will only be applied to newly opened investments; existing investments will remain unaffected.

• Can I copy more than one strategy at the same time?

  Yes, you can copy more than one strategy at a time as long as you have sufficient funds available in your wallet. These, however, will be considered separate investments.

• What’s a social trading strategy?

  A social trading strategy is an account created by a strategy provider in their Personal Area, for the purpose of performing trading. Investors are able to view these strategies on the social trading application and choose to copy them. Upon doing so, all trades on a particular strategy account will be copied onto the client's investment using a copying coefficient.

  The two accounts available for strategy creation are Social Standard and Social Pro for trading on MT4 platforms.

  Social Standard: This strategy account can be created by a strategy provider with a minimum initial deposit of USD 500 (in a single transaction). It is similar to the Standard trading account available in the Personal Area. You can read some top features here.

  Social Pro: This strategy account can be created by a strategy provider with a minimum initial deposit of USD 500 as well, but it has an equity requirement of USD 2000 in order for the strategy to qualify for activation. It is similar to the Pro trading account available in the Personal Area. You can read some top features here.

  Note: Deposits into the Social Trading accounts can also be made in the form of internal transfers from other existing trading accounts.

  Multiple strategies can be created and managed simultaneously by any strategy provider in their Personal Area.
