A Guide for Wealth Managers
Key Considerations Before Launching a Profit-Sharing Service
Profit Sharing – PAMM Account
Managing your service is as critical as managing your trades. A PAMM (Percentage Allocation Management Module) account enables wealth managers to trade on behalf of multiple investors through a single account. Profits and losses are distributed proportionally based on each investor’s share of the total funds.
Since profit sharing is based on success fees, your objective is to generate returns for both your investors and yourself.
Success Fee (SF)
A Success Fee is a percentage of real profits earned for investors. You set the percentage, but consider:
5% is allocated to Protocol Yield. If your SF is 30%, you receive 25%, and 5% goes to Protocol Yield.
Managers do not pay the success fee.
The minimum SF is either 0% or 10%. At 10%, 5% goes to the manager and 5% to Protocol Yield; at 0%, no fees are charged.
Example:
If an investor earns 100 USDT above their HWM and your SF is 25%, the distribution is:
20 USDT to you
5 USDT to Protocol Yield
Managers can offer fee discounts to specific investors through the Investors tab using their user ID.
Determining Profits and Losses
Daily accounting, known as Profit Sharing Daily Settlement (PSDS), evaluates profits and losses every 24 hours.
Calculations include open position values at settlement time.
Deposits and withdrawals are excluded until PNL is finalized.
Example:
If a service has 10,000 USDT AUM and invests 5,000 USDT in ETH, and ETH rises 15% within a day (but remains unsold), the new total balance is 10,750 USDT, reflecting 750 USDT in unrealized profits (7.5%).
Validating Profits – High Water Mark
To ensure real profits, two systems are used:
1. High Water Mark (HWM): The highest profit level an investor has reached in the service.
2. 3 Days Solid: The balance must remain above the HWM for three consecutive days to confirm stability and avoid temporary price spikes.
Creating API Keys
API keys are essential for integrating Profit Sharing services with a trading terminal. Follow these steps to create them securely.
Note: This process is compatible only with terminals supporting Binance API connections, as Profit Sharing services operate as sub-accounts within the Binance Broker framework.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Access Manage Your Service
Click the three dots at the top left and select "Manage Your Services."
Step 2: Navigate to API Management
Go to "API Management" and click "Create API Key."
2FA setup is required if not already enabled.
Step 3: Create and Name Your API Key
Enter a name for the API connection. The API key and secret will be displayed—save the secret key immediately as it won’t be shown again.
Security Tips
Restrict access to trusted IPs only to prevent unauthorized use.
Regularly review and update your API keys.
Only IPv4 addresses are allowed (IPv6 and IP ranges like 127.0.0.1/8 are not supported).

Investor Withdrawals in Profit Sharing
Understanding Withdrawal Requests
Processing & Fund Transfers
Investor Withdrawals in Profit Sharing
Profit-sharing services operate through Pooled Accounts (PAMM), where all investor funds are managed collectively. Each investment represents a percentage of the total balance. Investor withdrawals do not impact the strategy, as long as funds are managed efficiently.
Understanding Withdrawal Requests
Withdrawals depend on available funds in the Standby Account. If insufficient, they remain pending until funds are transferred. Wealth Managers can track these in the "Needed for Daily Snapshot" section.
Funds Transfer Process:
Move funds from the Trading Funds Account to the Standby Account without closing positions.Withdrawals are processed automatically after daily accounting is completed (within 24 hours).
Example:
If an investor requests 100 USDT, you must transfer 100 USDT to the Standby Account to ensure successful withdrawal. Delays in fund transfers impact the service's PY Score.
Important Notes
Wealth Managers must manually check for pending withdrawals.
Protocol Yield is developing a notification system for automated updates.
