Copy dividends are automated proportional withdrawals from an investment account to the investment wallet when the associated strategy becomes profitable, and the strategy provider withdraws funds. This applies to strategies with Social Standard and Social Pro accounts only.
When a strategy provider withdraws funds as profit, copy dividends give investors a part of the investment profit. They are automatically transferred from the investment account to the investor’s investment wallet. This allows investors to earn as the strategy provider withdraws profit continually, not only when the investors stop copying a strategy.
- Copy dividends are transferred to the investor's investment wallet for profitable investments only.
- Any stop loss or take profit settings changes are updated only after deducting copy dividends (an example is provided below).
- The copying coefficient does not change after any strategy provider’s withdrawal, whether copy dividends occurred or not.
- There is no withdrawal limit for a strategy provider. They can withdraw any part of their funds.
The copy dividends amount is calculated as a proportion of the strategy provider’s withdrawal but not more than the investment net profit.
Copy dividends amount = Strategy provider withdrawal x Copy coefficient (never more than the maximum amount of copy dividends)
Investment net profit = Investment equity + Already paid copy dividends - Investment amount
How it works
Example:
Let’s assume the investor is committing 10% to copy a strategy.
- A strategy provider has 1000 USD equity within a strategy and a 30% commission rate set.
- An investor invested 100 USD in this strategy, so their copying coefficient is 0.1 (10%).
- The strategy provider makes a profit of 500 USD. This leads to the investment calculating its profit: USD 500 × 0.1 = 50 USD.
- The 30% commission share is then calculated: 50 USD × 30% = 15 USD as the strategy provider’s floating commission.
Scenario 1: The strategy provider withdraws from a strategy
The strategy provider decides to withdraw 200 USD profit from their strategy.
- The maximum amount of copy dividends for this moment is 50 USD (investment profit) - 15 USD (floating commission) = 35 USD
- The strategy provider’s withdrawal of 200 USD will be multiplied by the copying coefficient of 0.1 = 20 USD.
- This is less than the maximum amount of Copy Dividends of 35 USD, so the copy dividends will award the investor a payout of 20 USD.
Scenario 2: The strategy provider makes a second withdrawal from a strategy
The strategy provider decides to make a second withdrawal of 250 USD from the strategy.
- The maximum amount of copy dividends at this moment is USD 15: 50 USD (investment profit)—15 USD (floating commission)—20 USD (already paid copy dividends).
- The strategy provider’s withdrawal of 250 USD is multiplied by the copying coefficient of 0.1, which is 25 USD.
- This is more than the maximum amount of copy dividends of 15 USD. Copy dividends will award the investor with a payout of 15 USD. It is not reflected as an exact 10% proportional share.
How do copy dividends impact stop loss and take profit?
The stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP) settings will only be updated after deducting the copy dividends.
SL/TP after copy dividends withdrawal = SL/TP before copy dividends withdrawal - copy dividends amount
If the result of this deduction is less than or equal to zero, SL is canceled, and the investor receives a push notification.
Copy dividends credited to the investor's investment wallet are not included in the investment equity.
