What is the commission calculation for trades on Deriv MT5 Swap-Free?
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

What happens if I stop referring or earning 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.

How is my tier determined if I start earning mid-month?

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.

What is the commission calculation for trades on MT5 Standard?
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 

CFDs commissions
Do commission adjustments affect my tier?

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.
