In settings a broker can set a commission for using another broker's public account, as well as a commission for a technology intermediary.

For public accounts created within the broker, transactions are processed for the commission amount minus the broker's commission:

• From the client's special account to the commission account (the broker's nominal account or the commission account specified in Copytrading settings);
• From the commission account to the invoice account generated by the system when creating the public account.

For public accounts provided by another broker, the following transactions are processed:

• From the commission account to the technology intermediary account (Unity);
• From the nominal account to the commission account specified when providing the public account to the broker. Within the broker providing the public account, transactions are processed as described above.

Subscription statuses

Status	Description
Active	The client account is subscribed to a public account.
Cancelled	The subscription has been terminated, but the account still has a Future balance for the account currency (the balance has not been transferred from the special account to the trading account).
Cancelled	The subscription has been terminated, but the positions on the client account that arose during the subscription have not yet been closed, and the funds have not been transferred to the trading account. To terminate the subscription, you must perform the following operations in the Copytrading accounts tab of the Daily Operations section.
Suspended	Set when there are insufficient funds in the client's account, during a margin call, or manually from Public account subscriptions
Closed	Once a subscription is assigned the Cancelled status and all Future balances for the account are zero, it enters this status and is no longer listed as active for the subscriber.

Calculation of Fair Commission for Profit Sharing (HWM Principle)

Commission for the Profit Sharing subscription type is calculated using the High Watermark (HWM) principle - the platform tracks the accumulated result and does not charge double commission on the same profit.

Calculation Formula

When charging commission (end of period, position closure, unsubscribe), the following formulas are used:

Fair Commission = (Total P/L + Paid Commission) × C

If Fair Commission is greater than Paid Commission, then:

• Current Commission is calculated as the difference between Fair and Paid commissions;
• A transaction is executed to debit the Current Commission;
• The Paid Commission indicator is updated:
  • Paid Commission (new) = Paid Commission - Current Commission

where:

• Total P/L - total P/L on the account from the start of the subscription;
• Paid Commission - already charged profit sharing commission (sum of previously executed transactions);
• C - commission percentage (Profit Distribution Percentage);
• Current Commission - commission amount to be charged at the current moment.

Stage	Description
Day 0 - subscription start	Starting balance: 10000
Day 1 - end of investment period	Daily PL is negative, no charges
Day 2 - end of investment period	Daily PL is positive, Total PL is negative (sum of profits for two days is less than zero), no charges
Day 3 - unsubscribe mid-day	Total PL is positive, commission is charged. Commission amount is calculated according to the specified formulas

---

Scenario 3: Profit Sharing with Positive Result

Stage	Description
Day 0 - subscription start	Starting balance: 10000
Day 1 - end of investment period	Daily PL is positive, commission is charged on it
Day 2 - end of investment period	Daily PL is positive, Total PL is positive, commission is calculated from Total PL (which equals the sum of Daily PLs for two days)
Day 3 - unsubscribe mid-day	Total PL is positive, commission is charged. Commission amount is calculated according to the specified formulas

Commission accrual frequency

Fixed commissions are accrued according to the period set in the public account settings. The period is calculated without taking into account weekends in the Daily operations section. The start date (X) of the period is the subscription start date. The end date is X-1 of the next period. If the end date falls on a non-existent day (e.g., June 31), it is calculated from the last existing day of the month.

Commission accrual date calculation examples: Subscription date (X): May 31 Commission charge frequency: Monthly Commission accrual date (X-1): June 29

Subscription Date (X): May 12 Commission Charge Frequency: Weekly Commission Accrual Date (X-1): May 18

Commissions of the Profit sharing type can be written off immediately upon receiving a positive PL for a position.
