Copy-Trading Profit Sharing: How It Works
1. What is Copy-Trading Profit Sharing?
Copy-Trading Profit Sharing is a feature on RockFlow that allows Verified Traders (Rockers) to earn a share of the profits generated by users who copy their trades. When a copied trade generates a realized profit, a portion of that profit is shared with the trader based on their set ratio. No profit sharing is generated on losing trades.
2. Profit-Sharing Ratio
- The profit-sharing ratio is set by the Verified Trader, ranging from 1% to 10%
- The ratio locked in at the time a copy plan is created will not change even if the trader updates their ratio later
- Traders may update their ratio once per quarter, up to 4 times per year; changes take effect in the following quarter
3. How Profit Sharing is Calculated
3.1 Calculation Basis
- Profit sharing is calculated on realized profits only; unrealized gains and losses are not included
- A minimum profit threshold applies per order — orders below this threshold are excluded from profit-sharing calculations
3.2 Formula
Estimated Profit Share = Realized P&L per Order × Profit-Sharing Ratio
3.3 Loss Clawback Mechanism
- When a copied trade results in a loss, the system claws back a proportional amount from the previously collected profit share
- The clawback amount cannot exceed the total profit share contributed by the user within the current period
- Each profit-sharing period is calculated independently — balances do not carry over between periods
Examples:
| Scenario | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Profit of $100 (10% ratio → $10 collected), then loss of $50 | $5 clawed back; net profit share for the period = $5 |
| Continuous losses; cumulative estimated profit share is negative | No further clawback; actual profit share = $0 |
4. Settlement Schedule
- The year is divided into four profit-sharing periods: Q1 (Jan–Mar), Q2 (Apr–Jun), Q3 (Jul–Sep), Q4 (Oct–Dec)
- Settlement occurs after each period ends
- Estimated payout date: the 15th of the month following the period end date
- Settlement Amount = Cumulative Actual Profit Share − Platform Service Fee − Other Fees
5. Fee Disclosure
The following fees may be deducted from your profit share at the time of settlement:
| Fee Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Platform Service Fee | Charged by RockFlow; see the profit period details page for the exact amount |
| Other Fees | Any additional applicable fees; see the profit period details page for the exact amount |
6. Fund Flow
- When a copied trade is profitable: the profit share is transferred from the user's account to the platform's profit pool
- When a copied trade results in a loss: the clawback amount is returned from the platform's profit pool to the user's account
- After settlement: the net amount is paid out to the Verified Trader's bank account, and the transaction is recorded in the fund activity log

Q2: Where can I view my revenue share records?
Navigate to the "Copy Trading & Revenue Share" homepage → "Revenue Share History" to view the payout amounts and distribution status for each cycle.

Q3: If I copy a top trader and incur losses, do I still owe a revenue share?
No. Revenue share is only generated when there are profits. No fees are charged in the event of a loss.
Q4: After copying a trader, how can I view the profit sharing fees paid to them?
You can go to "Me" → "Orders" → "Copy Plans" → "Auto-Copy Details" to view both the total profit sharing amount and a full breakdown of individual profit share entries.

Q5: If a top trader changes their revenue share ratio, will it affect my existing copy trading plans?
No. Any changes to the revenue share ratio only apply to new copy trading plans. Existing plans already in place will not be affected.
