If the Subscribe OTP enable checkbox is enabled, clients will be required to complete 2FA verification when subscribing to a public account.

If the Show potential positions checkbox is enabled, the subscription conditions for a public account in the casual application will display the positions that will be opened.

Please note! The amount of positions is recalculated based on the amount of funds being subscribed.

If the Request disclaimer reading checkbox is enabled, a client will see an article specified in the Disclaimer article field when confirmin the subscription for a public account.

Note! The disclaimer article is set in the Unity Investments ➝ Publications ➝ Content section.

When subscribing to a public account, a special account of the Copytrading type is created for the client. The Account group field allows to specify an account group of settings used by default when creating such accounts if no other settings are used according to priority.

Broker subscription fee

This block allows to set the fees charged to the public account when it receives commissions from subscribers:

  • The Default percent field defines the default fee percentage paid to the broker from the public account owner's fees. By default, the field is set to 0 and no fee is charged;
  • The Shared percent field allows you to specify the default percentage that the broker receives from subscriptions to public accounts provided by another broker. If not set, the value from the Default percent field will be used.;
  • The Fee account field is used to specify the account to which the broker will credit such fees.

By clicking the Add exclusive percent button, the custom fees for individual public accounts can be added. They will be used instead of the default fees. For a custom condition, simply specify the Public account and the Percent to be charged from it.

Approved badge

In the block, you can set a message that will be displayed in the tooltip when hovering over the icon of a verified public trader in the Copytrading section of the client terminal:

  • the Language field is designed to add different localizations of the message;
  • in the Approved badge text field, you can set a message that will be displayed for the selected locale.

Commission Calculation Examples

Example 1 (only commissions set in the broker providing the account): Commissions set in Broker 2 (to which the public account is provided) - Shared percent = 1.5%, Cross instance fee = 2%. Broker 2's client paid 1.1 USD in commission for using the public account.

Consequently: Actual commission to the platform (Cross instance fee) is: 1.1 x 2 / 100 = 0.022 ≈ 0.02 USD Actual commission to broker 2 (Shared percent) is: 1.1 x 1.5 / 100 = 0.0165 ≈ 0.02 USD Funds transferred to broker 1's account: 1.1 - 0.022 - 0.0165 ≈ 1.06 USD Client compensation at broker 1 is, accordingly, 1.06 USD

Example 2 (commissions set in both brokers): Commission set in Broker 1 (which provides the public account) Default percent = 2%. Commissions set in Broker 2 (to which the public account is provided) - Default percent = 5%, Cross instance fee = 2%. Broker 2's client paid 10 USD in commission for using the public account.

Consequently: Actual commission to the platform (Cross instance fee) is: 10 x 0.2 / 100 = 0.2 USD Actual commission to broker 2 (Default percent) is: 10 x 0.2 / 100 = 0.2 USD Funds transferred to broker 1's account: 10 - 0.2 - 0.2 = 9.6 USD Commission to broker 1 (Default percent) is: 9.6 x 5 / 100 = 0.48 USD Client compensation at broker 1 is: 9.6 - 0.48 = 9.12 USD

Retry settings

In this block you can set up the frequency of retries sending of a trade order to the provider, if it was rejected by the provider during the initial placement of the order:

  • Max retry count - number of retries.
  • Retry base interval - interval until the first retry.
  • Retry interval multiplier - the value by which the interval is multiplied when a request is retried.
  • Retry max interval - maximum interval between resubmissions.
