Commission = Client fee x 40%
Client trades multipliers with a stake of USD137 with a multiplier of 100. The client ischarged USD 5 for this trade (client fee).

Total commission earned: USD 2
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 Jump 25 Index
Let’s say:
- You traded 1 lot of Jump 25 Index
- Each contract (lot) is worth 1 unit
- The current price of the index is 5,000
- Conversion rate: 1 (quoted in USD)
- The commission rate (one side) is $10 per 100,000 USD traded
How to calculate:
1. Find the traded volume in USD:
1 (lot) × 1 (contract size) × 5,000 (price) × 1 (USD rate) = 5,000 USD
So, the total traded volume = 5,000 USD
2. Apply the commission formula:
Commission= (5,000 × 10) ÷ 100,000 = 0.50 USD
So, $0.50 commission per side
3. If you open and close the trade (round trade):
0.5×2 = 1.0
$1.0 total commission
If you stop referring traders or earning commission, your monthly earnings will decrease. This may lower your 3-month average and result in a lower tier.
Your partner account will remain active, and your tier will continue to update automatically each month based on your latest performance.
Note: In this case, if you are a Platinum partner, you won't qualify for the Platinum+ status for that calendar quarter.

If you start earning commission partway through a month, any commissions you earn from that date until the end of that month will be included in your monthly total. This amount will count towards your 3-month average for tier evaluation.
Example:
If you start earning on 15 January, your commissions from 15 to 31 January will count as your January total to determine your tier for January.
Commission = Stake amount x 0.8%
If a client trades Lookbacks with a stake of USD 10:

Total commission earned: USD 0.08
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 Volatility 75 Index
Let’s say:
- You traded 1 lot of Volatility 75 Index
- Each contract (lot) is worth 1 unit
- The current price of the index is 10,000
- Conversion rate = 1 (since it’s in USD)
- The commission rate (one side) is $10 per 100,000 USD traded
How to calculate:
1. Find the traded volume in USD:
1 (lot) × 1 (contract size) × 10,000 (price) × 1 (USD rate) = 10,000 USD
So, the total traded volume = 10,000 USD
2. Apply the commission formula:
Commission = (10,000×10) ÷ 100,000 = 1 USD
So, $1 commission per side
3. If you open and close the trade (round trade):
1×2 = 2
$2 total commission
Yes. Each month’s net commission affects your tier. Any adjustments, such as refunds or reversals, are factored in when calculating your 3-month average.
Example:
If your total commission for the month was 1,000 USD, but 200 USD was deducted due to a reversed trade, only 800 USD will count towards your 3-month average.
