Tools for Strategy Providers

Exness offers various features and tools that strategy providers can use to optimize strategy creation, reach out to investors, and evaluate existing strategies. Here are some of the tools and features of Exness social trading apps that strategy providers can utilize.

 

Strategy Creation

Strategists can use the Exness Social Trading platform to create and manage their trading strategies. A strategy provider can set a strategy's account type, commission, and leverage initially. Meanwhile, the strategy's name, description, commission rate, and minimum investment amount can be edited from the Personal Area after the strategy is created by clicking on the cog icon to bring up its settings.

 

Trading Realibility Level (TRL)

Trading Reliability Level (TRL) is a measurement tool of how well a strategy provider manages their trading risks. It is calculated by combining two factors: safety score and value at risk (VaR) score. The safety score measures how likely it is that a strategy provider will lose all of their capital, while the VaR score measures how much money a strategy provider could potentially lose in a worst-case scenario.

Your TRL reflects your historical performance across all strategies and funds, indicating how reliable you are as a trader. Having a high TRL increases the probability of investors choosing to invest with you. Maintaining a high TRL score is essential to retain investor loyalty and attract new investors to copy your strategy.

Exness categorizes TRL levels into 3 i.e:

  • 0-40: Low score
  • 41-70: Medium score
  • 71-100: High score

Lower TRL scores can result in restrictions on strategies and funds, including on maximum investment amounts and new investor participation. Strategy Providers can invite investors, add investors to strategies, and start allocation only if they have a significant TRL.

News Feed

The News Feed is a section of the social trading platform where strategy providers can share updates with their investors. These updates include information about the strategy's performance, upcoming trades, and any other relevant news or information.

As a Strategy Provider in Exness Social Trading, you have the ability to write updates to investors in your native language using the translator feature. It is crucial to take advantage of this feature and regularly provide performance updates to investors. By doing so, you can build trust and loyalty among investors, ensuring they stay informed about your trading activities and performance.

Statistics

Statistics is a tool in the Exness social trading app that allows strategy providers to view the return and equity of a strategy.

Here is a more detailed explanation of each metric:

 

Return

This metric shows how much money the strategy has made or lost over a period of time. These daily stats calculate the user's change in equity from the beginning of the month until the end of the month and offsets any deposits/withdrawals.

The calculation considers different periods determined by specific actions such as account deposits, withdrawals, and internal transfers, collectively referred to as balance operations (BO). The return value is determined by multiplying these periods between balance operations and presenting it as a percentile.

In other words, whenever a strategy provider withdraws or deposits, the return calculation is not influenced at all to prevent artificial results.

The profitability of your strategy is determined by the return percentage it generates. A higher return percentage indicates a more profitable strategy. Investors are naturally drawn to strategies with high returns, so it is important to aim for a high percentage return to make your strategy more appealing to potential investors.

 

Equity

The strategy's account equity represents the total available funds, calculated by considering profits, losses, deposits, and withdrawals. Having higher equity in the strategy account makes it more trusted and desirable to investors. Therefore, it is crucial to grow and maintain a positive equity level.

When the strategy's equity reaches 0 or falls into negative territory, a stop-out occurs. This leads to the automatic closure of all open trades in the strategy. Sometimes, this can result in a negative balance for the strategy, and investments mirroring the strategy may also reflect negative equity.

It is important for strategy providers to manage their equity effectively and take measures to prevent negative equity, as it can impact both the strategy's performance and the investments associated with it.

Commissions Reports

As a strategy provider at Exness, it's crucial to understand how much commission you've earned. Exness provides a Commission Report that details your commission earnings by investment, as well as lifetime statistics.

To access your Commission Report, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Exness Personal Area.
  2. Click on the "Social Trading" tab.
  3. Click on the "Commission Report" button next to the strategy you want to view.

In the Commission Reports tab, strategy providers will be presented with some detailed data and information below:

  • Total commission: This is the total amount of commission you have earned from all investments, both closed and open.
  • Earned commission: This is the amount of commission you have earned from closed investments.
  • Floating commission: This is the amount of commission you have earned from open investments.
  • Total investments: This is the total number of investments you have made.
  • AUM (Assets Under Management): This is the total amount of money that is under your management.
  • Average investment duration: This is the average length of time that an investment remains open.
    Filtering Commission Reports.

To make it easier to see the data and information presented, strategy providers can filter data with 3 criteria, i.e:

  • Trading period: You can view your commission reports for a specific period, such as the past month or year.
  • Commission status: You can view your commission reports for earned, floating, or all commissions.
  • Profitability: You can analyze your commission reports for profitable, unprofitable, or all investments.

The status of the investment is shown as either "Active" or "Closed. An active investment is one that is still open. A closed investment is one that has been closed, either by the investor or the strategy provider.

When is the Commision Paid?

Commission for strategy providers is paid out at the end of a trading period. The duration of the trading period is one calendar month, ending on the last Friday at 23:59:59 UTC+0, with a new trading period starting immediately after.

At the end of the trading period, all investors' open trades are automatically closed before the Exness Social Trading platform reopens those trades instantly, at the same price, with zero spread. The calculated commission is then transferred to the strategy provider's Social Trading Commission account in their Personal Area and can be used for trading, transfers, or withdrawals.

The entire process is completely automated for your convenience and is required so that the strategy provider's commission is paid accurately.

 

How is the Strategy Provider's Commission Calculated?

When an investor makes a profit by copying a trading strategy, they must pay a commission fee to the strategy provider. The commission fee is set by the strategy provider and is typically a percentage of the profit made. It is calculated at the end of a trading period or when the investor stops copying the strategy.

Exness has 2 formulas for calculating commissions that are categorized based on the situation and conditions of the strategy provider. Here is the first formula:

Investment Commission (USD) = (Equity + Paid Commission) - (Invested amount + Copy dividends) x %commission - (Paid Commission)

Example
The investor's starting investment balance is USD2,000 and the commission fee is set at 10%. The investor makes a profit of USD1,000 and their investment equity at the end of the trading period is USD4,000. The investor has previously paid a commission amounting to USD150. The strategy provider has previously chosen to withdraw a part of their profit from the strategy and a proportionate amount of USD200 is withdrawn from the investment account.

Calculated commission = (Equity + Paid Commission) - (Invested amount + Copy dividends) × %commission - (Paid Commission)

= (4000 + 150) - (2000 + 200) x 10% - 150

= 2050 x 10% - 150

= 205 - 150

= USD55

Therefore, the investor's investment balance will be USD4,000 - USD55 = USD3945 after paying the commission.

 

Meanwhile, If there is no previously paid commission, the commission formula will be:

Investmen Commission (USD) = (Equity - Invested amount + Copy dividends) x % commision

Example
An investor starts a new investment with a new strategy provider. The investment's starting balance is USD500. The commission fee set by the strategy provider is 10%. An investor makes a profit of USD3,000 and their investment equity at the end of the trading period is USD2,000.

Calculated commission = (Equity - Invested_amount + Copy dividends) x %commission

= (3000 - 500 + 0) x 10%

= 2500 x 10%

= USD 250

Therefore, the investor's investment balance will be USD2,725 after paying the commission.

 

To clarify, here is an explanation of the terms in the formula above.

  • Equity: Current investment equity
  • Paid Commission: Total paid commission paid for all previous trading periods from the creation of strategy.
  • Copy dividends: A proportion of withdrawn profit from the strategy provider.
  • Invested amount: Investment's starting balance.
  • %commission: Commission rate set by the strategy provider at the time of investment opening.
