Commission Calculation for Standard Account Types
For partners referring clients who trade on Standard, Standard Plus, and Standard Pro accounts, commissions are calculated based on your partner level using the formula:
Commission = Partner Rate × (50% of Opening Spread + 50% of Closing Spread) × Volume
Practical Example
Let's say you're a Gold Partner (35% commission rate) and your referred client trades 3 lots of EURUSD on a Standard account:
Opening Trade:
Bid: 1.17521
Ask: 1.17525
Opening Spread = (1.17525 - 1.17521) × 100,000 = $4
Opening Commission = 50% × 35% × 3 lots × $4 = $2.1
Closing Trade:
Bid: 1.17612
Ask: 1.17616
Closing Spread = (1.17616 - 1.17612) × 100,000 = $4
Closing Commission = 50% × 35% × 3 lots × $4 = $2.1
Total Commission = $2.1 + $2.1 = $4.2
Important Notes:
Commissions are only paid after the client closes their trade
This calculation method applies to Standard, Standard Plus, and Standard Pro accounts
Different partner levels receive different commission percentages (Partner: 25%, Silver: 30%, Gold: 35%, Platinum: 40%, Diamond: 45%)
For Zero and Raw accounts, a fixed commission per lot applies based on the instrument traded
