I. General

  1. The Copy Trading section of the NexusCrest Platform enables replication of trading operations from a Master Trader’s account into a Copy Trader’s account.
  2. The service is available only to registered NexusCrest users who accept these Copy Trading Rules and Terms of Use.
  3. Only approved Master Traders can offer copy-trading services. Verification requires account approval and acceptance of the Master Trader Agreement.
  4. Each Master Trader’s account becomes a Copy Source once approved and linked.
  5. Copy trading may occur manually or automatically using trading algorithms (“Auto Traders”). The NexusCrest system monitors performance and displays live statistics.
  6. One trading account = one Master Trader profile. Multiple profiles per account are not allowed.
  7. Copy Trading subscriptions allow Copy Traders to automatically mirror positions from the selected Master Trader, subject to system-synchronization conditions.
  8. By subscribing, the Copy Trader accepts all risks associated with copying trades and confirms the legal right to execute trades in their linked account.
  9. NexusCrest may suspend or remove any Master Trader or Copy Trader without notice for violations or system-integrity risks.
  10. The Platform does not guarantee profitability or performance consistency.
 
 

II. Master Traders

  1. Any verified user can apply to become a Master Trader.
  2. To be approved, the trading account must not have any open positions at the time the application is evaluated.
  3. The account must have at least fourteen (14) days of active trading history.
  4. NexusCrest reserves the right to approve or reject applications at its discretion.
  5. Identity verification (KYC) is mandatory — a valid passport, ID card, or driver’s license must be submitted.
  6. All data must be provided in English; the Master Trader’s username and statistics will be publicly visible.
  7. Master Traders must ensure uninterrupted API or investor access to their trading account for accurate signal transmission.
  8. Master Traders shall notify NexusCrest at least seven (7) days before terminating a Copy Source.
  9. Advertising of third-party products or services on their profile or description is prohibited.
  10. A Master Trader may not act as a broker, introducing broker, or employee of a brokerage firm.
 
 

III. Setting Up a Copy Source

  1. Each Master Trader may register one trading account as a Copy Source.
  2. Only live accounts are eligible (demo or simulated accounts are prohibited).
  3. Public metrics such as balance, equity, deposits, withdrawals, and P/L may be displayed to Copy Traders in real time.
  4. Copy Sources with extreme leverage (e.g., > 1:500) may be restricted.
  5. Master Traders may define their performance-fee rate, visible on their public profile.
 
 

IV. Copy Trading Subscriptions

  1. All registered users may subscribe to Copy Trading.
  2. The trading account must not have any open positions at the time of subscription.
  3. A user may have a maximum of five (5) active Copy Trading accounts at any given time.
  4. Manual trading in an account subscribed to a Master Trader constitutes interference and can lead to unpredictable results.
  5. The subscription can be cancelled at any time.
  6. A single trading account may be linked to only one Master Trader at a time.
  7. Copy Traders must maintain a minimum account balance defined by NexusCrest to ensure order execution.
  8. Copy-execution parameters include:

 • Copy ratio (% of equity to allocate)

 • Minimum equity-protection threshold

  1. Copy Traders may pause or cancel subscriptions at any time; fees already charged are non-refundable.
  2. Copy synchronization occurs automatically whenever a new trade is opened by the Master Trader.
  3. Manual trading in a subscribed account may interfere with copy execution and is strongly discouraged.
 
 

V. Fees and Payments

  1. All payments are processed through the NexusCrest internal wallet system.
  2. Copy Traders are charged performance fees based on monthly profit over the High-Water Mark, as defined in the Performance Calculation and Fees document.
  3. How Performance Fees Work:

 • High-Water Mark Protection: Fees apply only to profits that exceed the account’s previous highest equity value.

 • No Fees on Losses: If the account incurs losses, no performance fees are charged.

 • Collection Schedule: Fees are automatically collected monthly and whenever a Copy Trader unsubscribes or makes withdrawals.

  1. Example Calculation:

 Scenario: Account grows from $1,000 to $1,200 (20% gain)

 Fee Rate: 20%

 Profit: $200

 Performance Fee: $200 × 20% = $40

 Your Net Gain: $160 (80% of profit)

  1. Performance fees are automatically deducted from the Copy Trader’s account balance.
  2.  Fees are calculated and collected on a calendar-month basis.
  3.  The fee rate cannot be changed after subscription.
  4.  All fee calculations and payment history are visible in the user’s account dashboard.
  5.  Unsubscribing triggers immediate collection of any outstanding profit-based fees.
  6. Fee Lifecycle:

 • Pending: Fee calculated but not yet collected.

 • Collected: Fee successfully deducted and credited to the Master Trader.

  1. Refunds are not provided for active subscriptions or early cancellations.
  2. NexusCrest may withhold or reverse payments in cases of fraud, manipulation, or terms violation.
 
 

VI. Risks and Disclaimer

  1. Copy trading carries significant risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
  2. Execution delays, slippage, or account differences may cause divergence from Master Trader results.
  3. System or connectivity issues may prevent trade synchronization.
  4. In the context of Copy Trading, NexusCrest acts solely as a technology provider, not a financial advisor. All trading decisions and results remain the user’s responsibility.
 
 

VII. Violations and Termination

  1. NexusCrest may suspend or terminate access without prior notice for:

 • Fraudulent or manipulative activity

 • Spam or unauthorized advertising

 • API tampering, unauthorized interfaces, or reverse engineering

 • Copying or retransmitting trades outside the Platform

  1. Serious violations result in permanent account blocking and fund forfeiture for affected subscriptions.
 
 

VIII. Miscellaneous

  1. These Rules form part of the NexusCrest Terms of Use.
  2. All notices are in English and sent electronically.
  3. NexusCrest reserves the right to amend these Rules at any time with prior notice to users.
 
 

IX. Performance Metrics and Statistics Explanation

  1. A Master Trader’s performance is calculated using Time-Weighted Return (TWR), which measures percentage profit over time independent of deposits and withdrawals.
  2. Performance is computed from daily equity reports and cash-flow events (deposits/withdrawals). Each period between events is evaluated and compounded to produce a cumulative return.
  3. Displayed metrics may include:

 • Total Return (TWR %) – aggregate performance since inception.

 • Monthly Return (%) – performance for the latest calendar month.

 • High-Water Mark (HWM) – the highest equity level used to determine when performance fees apply.

 • Drawdown (%) – maximum decline from peak equity to trough.

 • Followers / AUM – number of Copy Traders and total copied funds linked to the Master Trader.

  1. All statistics are updated periodically and are for informational purposes only. They do not guarantee future returns.
