Trade fee (volume fee) is paid at position closing.

Profit fees, % from profit from profitable trades only. Calculated only from closed positions after setting fees.

Performance fees, Paid in % from net profit. Calculations are based on High Water Mark.

Management fees, On a yearly basis, for example, if fee is set at 10% and charged daily with account having 10k equity, the fee would be calculated as 10,000 *(10%/365).

Subscription fees, Calculated from starting point of joining the master.

MAM is based on the principle of copy trading. The client or trader needs to fund into MAM master account before they start trading and copy to the slave(s) that follow it.

MAM slaves are read only (always), they cannot open self-trades/close opened trades. MAM master can change allocation settings / activate-deactivate slave / change ratio.

The system will close all floating trades of Followers and trigger payment of fees if there are any stated in the subscription set by the master.

Let’s say proportionally by equity x ratio

Lot of investor = (Master lot x Investor equity) / (Master equity x Ratio)

Let’s take following numbers:

master's equity = 2000

investor's equity =500

master's lot = 0.02

ratio = 1

Calculated lot for investor with numbers above is = 0.005. It is smaller than min lot on a server for FX = 0.01.

So, we have 2 options: open 0.01 or don't open anything. By choosing minimal lot it will open 0.01 in the investor account or otherwise.

Ranking is arranged based on return of performance over the period for the particular master.

Note: Manual adjustment can be done via backend to display the rank of a particular master.

Return is calculated based on method called "Time Weighted Return".

Firstly, it divides the lifetime of the account into multiple separated periods between deposits and withdrawals (as DWs shouldn't affect return), then it calculates a return for each period and then multiply them, return_1, return_2, etc.

For example:

Initial Deposit = 1000

Equity at the end of period #1 = 1500

Deposit #2 = 500

Equity at the beginning of the period #2 = 2000

Equity at the end of the period = 3000

Return period #1 = Equity 2/ Equity 1 = 1500/1000=1.5

Return period #2 = Equity 4/Equity3=3000/2000 = 1.5

Hence, Return for all periods = (1.5*1.5-1) * 100% = 125%
