The pricing model
Almost every trading robot is sold the same way: a price, paid once, before you have any idea whether it suits your account. The seller is paid whether it works. A profit-share EA is paid from realised profit instead — which changes who carries the risk of it not working, and changes what a bad month costs each side.
| EA bought outright | Profit share | |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay to start | The full price, before you know whether it suits your account | Nothing. No licence, no subscription, no minimum |
| What a losing month costs you | The purchase price, already spent | Nothing. A period with no realised profit is invoiced nothing |
| What a losing month costs the seller | Nothing — they were paid at the door | The same as it costs you: nothing earned |
| Who carries the risk of it not working | You, alone | Both, in the same direction |
| What happens to the seller's attention after the sale | It moves to the next buyer | It stays, because next month's revenue depends on this month's result |
| What a very good month costs you | Nothing extra — the upside is entirely yours | 45% of the realised profit. This is the half of the trade that favours the buyer of a one-off licence |
Funds stay with your broker, in your name. There is no pooled account, no deposit to us, and no transfer of anything at any point. What we can see is the account's own reporting, sent by the EA so cycles can be billed.
You install it on a VPS you control and can turn off whenever you want. Stopping it stops future cycles; there is no term, no notice period and nothing to cancel.
Closed positions only. Floating profit on an open position is not billed, because it is not money yet — it can still become a loss before the position closes.
No fee for the software, no fee for support, no fee for a quiet period. A two-day cycle that realised nothing produces no invoice at all.
Three of them, and the first is the one that matters.
This is the real trade and it should be said first. Buy an EA for a few hundred dollars and every dollar it makes after that is yours. On a profit share, a strong run is a larger invoice. If you are confident in a system and expect it to run for years, buying one outright is cheaper arithmetic — and that confidence is exactly what a stranger cannot honestly have on day one.
The model's whole value is that it prices trust. You do not have to believe a backtest, because a backtest costs us nothing to produce and we are not paid for it. Once you have watched a system on your own account for long enough to judge it, that value has been spent — and at that point you are paying for something you no longer need.
A profit share changes who is paid and when. It does not change what happens on the account. The EA can still lose money, a recovery cycle can still end at its stop, and no billing model has ever prevented a bad week. Anyone implying otherwise is selling the payment terms as though they were a risk control.
