Before you begin, check out the Top 5 Axos Social Trading account providers and their statistics.

The Investor

An Investor uses the Social Trading service to follow and copy the trades of experienced traders, known as Strategy Providers. By joining a strategy, the investor automatically mirrors their trades—giving less experienced investors the opportunity to benefit from the performance of seasoned traders without needing to develop their own strategy.

The Strategy Provider

A Strategy Provider is an experienced trader whose goal is to execute profitable trades that investors replicate. The strategy consists of the trading decisions and actions created by the provider. When an investment in that strategy makes a profit, the provider receives a performance fee (0 %–50 %) deducted from the investment at the end of the billing period.

Note (Standard & Pro accounts): Trades already open when you start copying are not mirrored. Only new trades opened after your investment is created will be copied.

Stop copying with no open trades

If you stop copying a strategy when there are no open orders, your investment is closed, performance fees are calculated, and funds are transferred from your investment balance into your investment wallet. Fees are sent to the strategy provider at the end of the billing period.

Stop copying with open trades

For Social accounts

• If the market is open, all orders on your investment account are closed at the current market price.
• If the market is closed and there are more than 3 hours until reopening, orders close at the last available market price.

Note: If fewer than 3 hours remain until the market reopens, you cannot stop copying until the market opens.

For Standard & Pro accounts

• If the market is open, orders close at the current market price.
• If the market is closed, orders close once the market reopens.

In both cases, performance fees are then calculated and transferred to your investment wallet, and sent to the strategy provider at the end of the billing period.

Subsequent copying after opening an investment

Whenever the strategy provider opens or closes trades, those actions are immediately mirrored in your account at the same prices. The actual copy coefficient (K) is recalculated each time according to the formula below.

Example

Assume:

If the provider opens an order of 2 lots, the copied lots will be:

What is Trading performance fee?

Social Trading performance fee is a fee that an investor pays to a strategy provider for profitable investments. Strategy providers pre-define a performance fee rate at which investors share their profits.

Important: Social Standard and Social Pro accounts are switching to the new advanced copying platform (like Standard & Pro). This only affects new investments and future fees. Providers will see two separate accounts: “ST commission” for older investments and “PIM commission” for new ones.

For example: If you profit 1 000 USD and the performance fee rate is 10 %, you’ll be charged 100 USD.

Performance fees are credited to a dedicated Commission account in the provider’s Personal Area (ST Commission for Social accounts, PIM Commission for Standard/Pro). Funds there can be used for trading, withdrawals, or transfers.

The performance fee rate can be adjusted later, but new rates only apply to newly opened investments; existing ones remain unaffected.
