Copy trading fees on RoboForex are mostly a performance fee set by each trader (official Help: typically 5%–50% of new investor profit), settled on an investment period of 1, 2 or 4 weeks — or when you unsubscribe. Some strategies run No Commission. Spreads, swaps and account commissions still apply. We never invent a named trader’s % here: read it on the live profile.
What you actually pay when you copy
RoboForex’s investor FAQ is clear: traders publish commission terms before you subscribe. The most common scheme is a Performance Fee — a percentage of profit earned through copying that trader. The fee amount is reserved on your account first, then transferred to the trader at the end of the investment period or when you unsubscribe.
That “reserved” line matters: part of your equity can be temporarily locked for commission, which can affect how much you can withdraw until settlement (see Help on reserved commission / profit withdrawal).
Performance fee range and formula (official)
| Setting | What Help Center says (checked 5 Nov 2026) |
|---|---|
| Rate | Trader chooses 5% to 50% (Help: step of 5% on the R StocksTrader education article; always confirm on the live profile). |
| Schemes | Performance Fee or No Commission (subscription conditions FAQ). |
| Investment period | 1 week, 2 weeks, or 4 weeks — set by the trader. |
| When paid | End of period (transfer processed between Sunday and Monday) or shortly after you cancel the subscription. |
| High-water / delta | Only new profit above the previous highest result (high watermark) is billed. |
| What’s in the calc | Open and closed copied trades; Help subtracts swaps and ECN/Prime commissions before applying the rate. |
Official trader-side sketch of the formula:
Commission ≈ (Total investor profit on copied trades − Swaps − ECN/Prime commissions) × commission rate — applied on the delta above the prior high watermark.
We do not invent any live trader’s percentage. Open the strategy card in the rating / Members Area and read the fee + period there. Hub shortlist: Traders hub.
Generic numeric example (not a named trader)
Illustration using RoboForex’s own Help numbers (10% rate):
- Period 1 ends at +$100 total profit → fee = 10% × $100 = $10. High watermark becomes $100.
- Period 2 ends at +$150 → delta = $50 → fee = $5.
- Period 3 ends at +$140 → delta = −$10 → no performance fee that period.
Net lesson: a green week can still leave you underwater over a quarter if earlier weeks paid fees and later weeks gave it back. Fee drag ≠ safe — read % and period on the live profile, never from an invented blog number.
Other costs that sit beside the performance fee
- Spread — paid on every copied fill.
- Swap / overnight — if positions roll.
- Account commissions — e.g. some ECN/Prime instruments (confirm on your account type).
- Withdrawal fees — payment-system / network costs outside free windows — see Withdrawal methods & fees.
Partner-program % that traders may offer to promoters (Help cites a wide band) is a promotion setting — not your investor performance fee. Ignore it unless you are promoting strategies.

- Write down the fee % and period from the profile.
- Write down max drawdown and history length for the same period filter.
- Ask: after a realistic DD, does paying 20–40% of new profit still leave a plan you can sleep with?
- Prefer one trader per copy account (silo strategy).
- Use a checklist, not a screenshot of Yield #1: Evaluate a RoboForex copy trader.

Fee changes mid-subscription
Subscription conditions FAQ: traders can change main settings about once per 24 hours (with a weekend blackout window); updates typically take effect on Mondays. Investors should re-check the trading-details screen — if the new fee or period no longer fits, pause or cancel before the next settlement.
What are RoboForex fees?
Searches for “RoboForex fees” usually mix four layers that this page already separates (figures checked 5 Nov 2026 on official Help, unless noted):
- Copy trading performance fee — typically 5%–50% of new investor profit, or a “No Commission” scheme, settled on a 1-, 2- or 4-week period (or when you unsubscribe). The exact % is on the live strategy profile only.
- Trading costs — spreads, swaps, and account commissions (for example on some ECN/Prime instruments). These still apply when you copy.
- Deposit fees — RoboForex states a 0% deposit commission; your bank or payment provider can still charge you. See how to deposit.
- Withdrawal fees — depend on the payment method, except under the free-withdrawal Tuesdays programme. See withdrawal methods, time and fees.
We do not invent a single “RoboForex fees” table by method or by named trader: those rows change by region and by profile. Confirm live in the Members Area.
Is there a platform fee on top of the trader’s performance fee?
For copying itself, Help frames the investor cost as the trader’s published commission scheme (performance fee or no commission). Spreads, swaps and account trading commissions still apply. Always trust the live Members Area over a blog table.
Do I pay if the period is losing?
Under the high-watermark / delta model in Help, a period with negative delta vs the prior peak does not pay that performance fee. You can still be down overall, and spreads/swaps still exist.
Where do I see the exact % for a strategy?
On the strategy profile in the Copy Trading rating / subscription screen — never from an invented blog number. Dated shortlist context: Traders hub.
What are RoboForex fees?
Four layers: the trader’s copy-trading performance fee (typically 5%–50% of new profit, or no commission, on a 1-, 2- or 4-week period — checked 5 Nov 2026 on official Help), plus spreads, swaps and account commissions, a stated 0% deposit commission, and withdrawal fees that depend on the method except on free-withdrawal Tuesdays. We do not invent a named trader’s % or a per-method withdrawal table.
