VI. FAQ
How to earn as a Lead Trader?
As a Lead Trader, you'll earn up to 32% of the overall net profits of your copiers and your earnings will be credited to your Lead Trader account daily.
Promotion and Demotion Rules
Lead Trader Levels are reviewed every week, and Lead Traders will be promoted or demoted to the corresponding levels based on the criteria fulfilled at the time of review, instead of a level-by-level increment or decrement. Lead Traders must meet all promotion criteria before they can be promoted.
When are Lead Trader Levels evaluated?
Lead Trader Levels are evaluated weekly, every Monday from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM (UTC+8), based on data up to the preceding Sunday at 11:59 PM (UTC+8).
When is the monthly salary distributed?
On the 1st day of each calendar month, the Lead Trader’s level is evaluated to determine whether it meets the level required to receive a monthly salary. If the corresponding level criteria are met, the monthly salary will be credited to the user’s account by 11:59 PM (UTC+8) on the 7th of that month.
Are there any tips for new traders?
New traders need to work on improving their profitability to gain investors’ recognition. It’s also important to promote their trading profiles and grow their copiers, and to make full use of KuCoin Discover, KuCoin Live, and their own social media channels.
