In the JustMarkets Copytrading system, Traders earn a commission from the profits generated by their Investors. While JustMarkets does not charge any additional fees, the commission is paid directly by the Investor to the Trader as a reward for successful strategy performance.
- Commission is calculated as a percentage of the Investor’s profit.
- Commission is always charged in USD.
- Commission is reserved for closed profitable trades and cannot be withdrawn by the Investor.
Commission Payout Schedule
- Charging Day: Saturday – commission is calculated for closed orders.
- Payout Day: Sunday at 6:00 PM (EET) – commission is credited to the Trader’s Wallet.
- Only profitable trades generate a commission.
- If the total commission is less than $0.01, it will not be credited.
How to Adjust Commission Rate
Traders can set and adjust their commission rate at any time by following these steps:
- Go to the Trader Area
- Click Settings
- Use the slider to select the desired commission percentage.
Note: Changes apply only to new Investors who subscribe after the rate is updated. Existing Investors continue under the previously agreed rate.
How to Receive the Commission
All commissions are credited to the Trader Wallet.
From there, traders can:
- Transfer funds to any of their own trading accounts.
- Withdraw funds following the platform’s standard withdrawal procedures.
Commission Calculation Formula
The commission is calculated using the following formula:
Commission = (Equity + Paid Commission - Invested Amount) x % Commission - Paid Commission
Definitions:
- Commission: the total to be credited to the Trader (only if positive).
- Equity: Investor’s final balance after trading, including profits and balance adjustments.
- Paid Commission: total commission already paid in previous periods.
- Invested Amount: Initial investment + any balance adjustments (e.g., deposits/withdrawals).
- % Commission: the percentage set by the Trader.
Example Calculation
Let’s say:
- Initial investment: $1000
- Profit: $200
- Trader’s commission: 20%
- Previously paid commission: $30
Step-by-step:
- Equity = 1000 + 200 = 1200
- Apply formula: (1200 + 30 - 1000) x 20% - 30 = (230 x 0.20) - 30 = 46 - 30 = $16
- Result: The Trader receives a $16 commission.
Conclusion
The Trader’s Commission system rewards Traders based on performance, encouraging high-quality trading strategies. Understanding how commissions work helps both Traders and Investors manage expectations, track earnings, and optimize their participation in the JustMarkets Copytrading ecosystem.
