Why is my real name displayed on my strategy?
At Exness, transparency is at the core of everything we do. We choose to display the strategy provider’s real name so investors can be sure that real traders are trading for them, not robots.
What is the maximum number of strategies allowed at once by a Strategy Provider?
The standard limitation on the number of accounts per PA apply to Social Trading too. The number of strategies you can create shares the same limitations as the number of accounts you can create.
You can only have 100 accounts per Exness Personal Area (PA) each for Standard and Pro accounts, which includes Social Standard and Social Pro accounts.

Does profit sharing and commission work together?
Yes, if a strategy provider shares their partner link with investors who use it to register with Exness, and those investors copy their strategy, they will receive both commission from Social Trading and the Exness partnership program.
Social Trading Commission will be credited to the strategy provider’s Social Trading Commission account in the Personal Area, while the partnership commission will be credited to his partner account.
How can I get partnership commission from investors?
Being a strategy provider on our Social Trading application with investors copying your strategy can make you gain social trading commission. But wait, there’s more.
You can also gain partnership commission by inviting investors to Social Trading using your partner link. By doing so, you will earn partnership commission for all trades on the investor account, even those that are copied from other strategy providers.
Are there any drawbacks to being a strategy provider?
This depends on your point of view, but Social Trading is designed to make being a strategy provider simple and convenient.
- Trading periods: this necessary period of time is used to calculate a strategy’s metrics, but may present an inflexible timeframe for strategy providers.
- Commission payouts: Only occurs at the end of a trading period.
- Managing metrics: Return and Risk are metrics that a strategy presents to investors; these are not in the control of the strategy provider.
- Drawdown: Accumulated loss in a strategy eats into commission, which can lower overall earnings; in other words, the losses hit a little harder.
- Untimely investments: Unfortunately even if a strategy provider is profitable, an investor that starts copying their strategy, later on, may not see the same amount of profit as the strategy provider, resulting in dissatisfaction.
All of these drawbacks can be mitigated with good risk management and careful consideration. We recommend reading more about what goes into a strategy so that you can better manage them.
