Copy-trading
The copy-trading program is an integrated platform that enables the replication of trades across different MetaTrader servers, synchronizing open and close orders just as with manual trading. Copy-trading simplifies the trading process, allowing investors to emulate the trades of experienced traders. Participants can engage as either "Signal Providers" or "Copy-traders."
A profit-sharing model governs the relationship between Signal Providers and Copy-traders. Signal Providers can set requirements for copy accounts, while Copy-traders can select from various Signal Providers to copy trades in proportion to their funds, with options to set stop loss, take profit, or cease copying at any time to protect their accounts.

* Refer to diagram of Signal provider request of 25% profit-sharing.
HWM (High Water Mark)
Profit-sharing execution is based on Realized + Floating PnL during the trading period, and in accordance with the HWM (High Water Mark) mode. With this mode, you will be ensured to receive a profit-sharing fee only if the sum of all the trading results of all previous intervals will cover the total loss of the copy-trading period, and only if its profit is higher than the highest profit. When it is reached, and the copy-trading profits even more, the High Water Mark is updated and set to a new, higher, level.
[object Object]
A new High Water Mark can never be lower than the previous one - it is always a positive value (since the initial one is at 0). Profit-sharing fee is paid only for positive trading results; therefore, Signal Providers will get paid their profit-sharing fees only if their trades constantly make profit for their copy-traders. Losses are acceptable, but to get paid again, signal providers must cover them for the copy traders first.

Profit-sharing example (assuming a settlement cycle of 30 days)
First Month
Copy-trader makes $2,000 profit from copying.
$2,000 above starting HWM of $0.
Profit-sharing: 2,000 *25% = $500
HWM is updated to $2,000.
Second Month
Copy-trader loss $400 from copying.
Total net profit: 2,000-400=$1,600 < HWM $2,000.
No profit-sharing and HWM updated.
Third Month
Copy-trader makes $1,000 profit from copying.
Total net profit: 1,600+1,000=$2,600 > HWM $2,000.
Profit-sharing: (2,600-2,000) *25% = $150
HWM is updated to $2,600.
Forth Month
Copy-trader makes $400 profit from copying.
Total net profit: 2,600+400=$3,000 > HWM $2,600.
Profit-sharing: (3,000-2,600)*25% = $100
HWM is updated to $3,000.
