Strategy Signal Service Rules

1. What is the Strategy Signal Service?​

The Strategy Signal Service is a performance-based earnings mechanism on RockFlow for Verified Strategy Providers. When subscribers copy a verified strategy and generate realized profits, the platform collects a signal service fee at the agreed fee rate from each profitable trade and credits it as strategy earnings. No fees are charged when a copied trade results in a loss.

2. Fee Rate​

  • The fee rate is set by the Verified Strategy Provider, ranging from 1% to 10%.
  • The fee rate locked in at the time a subscription plan is created will not change even if the provider updates their rate later — existing plans remain unaffected.
  • Providers may update their fee rate once per quarter (up to 4 times per year); changes take effect in the following quarter.

3. How Signal Service Fees Are Calculated​

3.1 Calculation Basis​

  • Fees are calculated on realized profits only; unrealized gains and losses are excluded.
  • A minimum profit threshold applies per order — orders below this threshold are excluded from fee calculations.

3.2 Formula​

Est. Signal Service Fee = Realized P&L per Order × Fee Rate

3.3 Fee Reclaim Mechanism​

  • When a copied trade results in a loss, the platform reclaims a proportional amount from previously collected fees and returns it to the subscriber.
  • The reclaim amount cannot exceed the total fees contributed by the subscriber within the current period.
  • Each settlement period is calculated independently — balances do not carry over between periods.

Examples

ScenarioOutcome
Profit of $100 (10% fee rate -> $10 collected), then loss of $50$5 reclaimed; net signal fee for the period = $5
Continuous losses; cumulative estimated fee is negativeNo further reclaim; actual signal fee = $0

4. Settlement Schedule​

  • The year is divided into four settlement periods: Q1 (Jan–Mar), Q2 (Apr–Jun), Q3 (Jul–Sep), Q4 (Oct–Dec).
  • Settlement occurs after each period ends.
  • Estimated settlement date: the 15th of the month following the period end date.
  • Settlement Amount = Cumulative Actual Strategy Earnings − Platform Operating Fee − Other Fees

5. Fee Disclosure​

The following fees may be deducted from your strategy earnings at the time of settlement:

Other FeesAny additional applicable fees; see the settlement period details page for the exact amount

6. Fund Flow​

  • When a copied trade is profitable: the signal service fee is transferred from the subscriber's account to the platform's fee pool.
  • When a copied trade results in a loss: the reclaimed amount is returned from the platform's fee pool to the subscriber's account.
  • After settlement: the net amount is paid out to the Verified Strategy Provider's bank account, and the transaction is recorded in the fund activity log.

7. FAQs​

Q1: How do I apply to become a Verified Strategy Provider?

Go to your profile page → Strategy Service → click Apply, fill in the required information, and submit for review.

Q2: Where can I view my strategy earnings records?

Navigate to the Strategy Service homepage → Settlement History to view the earnings amounts and settlement status for each cycle.

Q3: After subscribing to a strategy, how can I view the signal service fees I've paid?

Go to Me → Orders → Subscription Plans → Auto-Copy Details to view both the total signal service fee and a full breakdown of individual fee entries.

Q4: If I copy a strategy and incur losses, do I still owe a signal service fee?

No. Signal service fees are only generated when there are profits. No fees are charged in the event of a loss.

Q5: If a strategy provider changes their fee rate, will it affect my existing subscription plans?

No. Any changes to the fee rate only apply to new subscription plans. Existing plans already in place will not be affected.
