For monthly net revenue of Options trades:

• USD 20,000 or less: 30% commission
• Exceeding USD 20,000: 45% commission

‍

For example:

If a client generates USD 10,000 in monthly net revenue:

• Commission: USD 10,000 x 30% = USD 3,000

‍

If a client generates USD 25,000 in monthly net revenue:

• Commission for first USD 20,000: USD 20,000 x 30% = USD 6,000
• Commission for remaining USD 5,000: USD 5,000 x 45% = USD 2,250
• Total commission: USD 6,000 + USD 2,250 = USD 8,250

Only Multiplier Financials are excluded from Affiliate commission generation.
