Fees & HWM
How AlphaCoreX charges performance fees, and why losing trades stay free.
Performance fee
- Rate: 0–30% of trade profit.
- Trigger: charged at the close of a profitable trade only.
- Free on losses: losing trades incur no performance fee.
What is the High-Water Mark (HWM)?
The HWM is the highest cumulative balance you've ever reached on AlphaCoreX. Performance fees only apply to gains above your previous peak. If your balance drops and then recovers, the recovery portion is fee-free until you're back above the HWM.
Fee schedule
- Per-trade close: performance fee is deducted from the realized profit at the moment a winning trade closes.
- No deposit fee.
- No management fee. AlphaCoreX makes money only when you do.
- Network gas: Arbitrum gas (typically pennies) is paid by the user on deposit/withdraw transactions.
Bottom line: AlphaCoreX is aligned with you. We earn only when you're actually up, never on losses, and never on flat performance.
