How can we help?

A referred client is an individual who:

• Signs up using your unique referral link
• Deposits funds into their account
• Begins trading on Deriv platforms

‍

Your commissions are earned based on the trading activity of your referred clients.

For Digital Options, the commission is based on the payout probability of the client’s contracts.

Formula (per side)

Commission = (Traded volume in USD) × (Commission rate) ÷ 100,000

To calculate traded volume in USD:

Traded volume in USD = (Volume in lots) × (Contract size) × (Execution price) × (Conversion rate to USD)

‍

Example calculation with AUD/CAD

Let’s say:

• You traded 1 lot of AUD/CAD
• Each contract = 100,000 units (standard forex contract size)
• The current price is 0.9000 (1 AUD = 0.9 CAD)
• Conversion rate (CAD → USD) = 0.73. Since the quote currency (CAD) isn’t USD, we convert it to a USD value.
• The commission rate (one side) is $10 per 100,000 USD traded

How to calculate:

1. Find the traded volume in USD: 

1 (lot) × 100,000 (contract size) × 0.9000 (price) × 0.73 (CAD→USD) = 65,700 USD

 So, the total traded volume = 65,700 USD

‍

2. Apply the commission formula:

Commission= (65,700 × 10) ÷ 100,000 = 6.57 USD

So, $6.57 commission per side

‍

3. If you open and close the trade (round trade):

6.57×2 = 13.14

$12 total commission
