Monthly, per the inputs: your total would be $132. Every dollar comes from real client trading — never from sub-IBs paying to join. Illustrative only — not guaranteed. Commissions are paid by third-party brokers and depend on real client trading activity.
Where the money comes from
The broker pays per lot traded. In a two-level structure it pays the master IB, who passes an agreed share to each sub-IB. The master keeps the difference as an override.
Not a pyramid scheme
Legitimate IB networks earn only from genuine client trading. Nobody should ever pay to join, buy a 'position' or earn from recruiting alone. If someone offers that, walk away.
Your responsibility grows
Depending on the jurisdiction, you may be responsible for how your sub-IBs market. Train them, review their content and remove anyone who makes promises or misleads clients.
