Profit sharing is only triggered when a Follower's assets exceed the most recent post-distribution benchmark — meaning cumulative realised PNL since the last profit share must be positive.
Example (Initial investment: 1,000 USDT, Trader's profit-share ratio: 10%):
Day 1: A 200 USDT profit triggers a 20 USDT share to the Trader. Assets: 1,180 USDT.
Day 2: A 150 USDT loss brings cumulative PNL to −150 USDT. No share applies. Assets: 1,030 USDT.
Day 3: A 100 USDT profit brings cumulative PNL to −50 USDT — still negative. Assets: 1,130 USDT.
Day 4: Another 100 USDT profit brings cumulative PNL to +50 USDT — triggering a 5 USDT share. Assets: 1,225 USDT.
Day 5+: Profit sharing resumes only once assets exceed the new benchmark of 1,225 USDT.
Final result: 1,000 + 250 (cumulative realised PNL) − 25 (total profit share) = 1,225 USDT.
