Lead Trader Profit Sharing Rules

1. Settlement and Distribution Process

  

Profit sharing adopts a “Temporary Deduction + Next-Day Settlement” mechanism to ensure that Lead Traders receive profit sharing based on the actual net profits generated by Followers.

  

Settlement Process

  1. When a Lead Trader closes a position and the Follower generates a profit, the system will temporarily deduct the profit-sharing amount from the Follower’s account.
  2. At 00:00 (UTC+8) each day, the system calculates the actual net profit of all eligible closed orders for the day.
  3. At 12:00 (UTC+8) each day, the final profit-sharing amount will be distributed to the Lead Trader’s Spot Account.

Note: If the Follower does not generate a net profit for the day, all temporarily deducted amounts will be fully returned to the Follower’s account.

  

   

2. Profit Sharing Calculation Logic

(Example based on a 10% profit-sharing ratio)

  

Profit sharing only applies to fully closed orders and is calculated after deducting related trading costs.

  

Calculation Formula

Profit Sharing = (Total Realized PnL of Closed Orders - Total Trading Fees - Total Funding Fees) × Profit-Sharing Ratio

  

Example

Assume the Follower generates the following three orders in one day:

  • Order A: Fully closed, profit of 100 USDT
  • Order B: Fully closed, loss of 50 USDT
  • Order C: Partially closed (50%), realized profit of 20 USDT — not included in today's settlement as the position has not been fully closed

Related costs:

  • Total trading fees and funding fees for Orders A and B: 20 USDT

Final profit-sharing amount:

  • (100 - 50 - 20) × 10% = 3 USDT

  

Key Points

  • Order C is not included in the current settlement cycle because the position has not been fully closed. It will only be included after the remaining position is fully closed.
  • Profit sharing is calculated based on:

    Single Order Realized PnL - Trading Fees - Funding Fees

  • If funding fees are received as income rather than paid as a cost, they will be added to the profit, increasing the final profit-sharing amount.

  

  

3. Profit Sharing Data Metrics

  

Lead Traders can track profit-sharing data through the following metrics on the profit-sharing page:

Metric

Description

Cumulative Profit Sharing

Total profit-sharing amount distributed to the Spot Account since becoming a Lead Trader

Estimated Profit Sharing Today

Estimated profit-sharing amount from today’s closed orders after deducting losses and fees. This figure is an estimate and is subject to change upon final settlement

Yesterday’s Profit Sharing

Actual profit-sharing amount received yesterday (generated from the previous day’s settlement)

Profit Sharing History

Daily distribution records. For example, data displayed on September 3 represents actual earnings generated on September 2

4. Important Notes

  • Profit-sharing rewards are distributed to the Spot Account. Please check your Spot Account balance accordingly.
  • Profit sharing is only settled after positions are fully closed. If positions are held overnight, the profit-sharing settlement will be deferred until the day the positions are completely closed.
