1. What are the profit-sharing rules for BTCC copy trading?

Between 10% and 15% of the copy trader’s profits are paid to the lead trader as commission. The specific percentage depends on the lead trader's designated profit-sharing ratio.

 

Example: If lead trader A has a profit-sharing percentage of 10%, and a copied trade generates a profit of 100 USDT, then the lead trader will receive 10% of 100 USDT, which amounts to 10 USDT.

 

Detailed Rules:

• The system tallies the profit and loss (PnL) of each copied order within the settlement period. Commission is deducted from each profitable trade immediately. At the time of settlement, if the total commission deducted from the copy trader’s account exceeds the actual commission due to the lead trader, the excess will be refunded to the copy trader, and the lead trader's account will be credited with the actual commission amount.
  
  
• Profit distribution occurs only when there are no open positions linked between the copy trader and the lead trader, meaning all copy trading orders must be closed. If the copy trader’s portfolio still includes open positions copied from the lead trader, the profit distribution will be deferred until all positions are closed.
  
  
• The BTCC copy trading settlement cycle operates on a natural day basis (daily settlement), with the profit and loss calculation spanning from 16:00 (UTC) to 15:59:59 (UTC) each day. The settlement process begins at 16:00 (UTC).

Example:

 

• Net Profit and Loss at Settlement: 200 - 50 + 300 - 500 + 500 + 100 = 550 USDT
• Total Pre-Deducted Profit-Sharing Amount: 20 + 30 + 50 + 10 = 110 USDT
• Actual Profit-Sharing Amount: 550U × 10% = 55 USDT
• Refund to Copy Trader: 110 - 55 = 55 USDT

 

At settlement, the system calculates the copy trader’s total PnL of 550 USDT for the period. The lead trader is entitled to 55 USDT (10% of 550 USDT). Since 110 USDT was initially deducted as prepaid commission, 55 USDT will be transferred to the lead trader's account, and the remaining 55 USDT will be refunded to the copy trader's account.

 

Note: Settlement will be deferred to the next cycle if the copy trader has any open positions linked to the lead trader at the time of settlement.
