Copy-trading
How do I become a TigerWit Master Trader?
In order to be a TigerWit Master Trader and make commission from your trading strategies, you’ll need to open a TigerWit Live account and complete the I.D. verification process. Once a Live account has been opened, we will assess each application before deciding on a Master list.
What are the requirements to become a Master?
In order to qualify for Master status, a trader must:
Make the minimum initial deposit of USD50, and self-trade for at least 20 trading days.
Achieve a 30-day rate return greater than 20%.
Maintain an account balance of at least USD500.
What do you base your Master selection on?
TigerWit ranks each Master on three specific areas:
Total Profit Rate: The trader’s trading income ratio.
Order Quantity: The number of trading orders.
Accuracy: The proportion of profitable orders.
Do TigerWit Master Traders get commission?
TigerWit Master Traders receive 20% of the value of successful trades made by their followers. The amount is credited to the Master’s account automatically.
How is commission paid?
The commission a follower pays for replicating a Master’s successful trade is deducted automatically.
How do I unfollow a Master?
If you decide to unfollow a Master, your position will remain open unless you select ‘Cancel following and force close your order’, or if the Master you are unfollowing closes their original position. If a Master closes their position, you can keep your position open by selecting ‘Do not follow to close’.
If you select ‘Cancel following but do not close order’, your position will remain open until the Master’s order you were following is closed by the Master. If you select ‘Do not follow to close’ your position will remain open until you close out manually. Users remain liable to commission at whatever point the position is closed.

Contracts for Difference trading
What is CFD trading?
Contracts for Difference trading (or CFDs) allows a client to speculate on the rise and fall of fast-moving global markets. Clients can buy or sell a contract, or several contracts, at a specific amount.
A Contracts for Difference trade is an agreement between two parties to exchange the difference in value of a contract.
Technology
What is blockchain?
Harnessing the power of blockchain’s innovative technology is the foundation upon which we have cultivated the TigerWit distributed trading ledger.
All transactions are instantly recorded onto the blockchain ledger, where it cannot be modified, only added to. The blockchain is accessible for clients, partners and regulators via their Live account.
How does blockchain make trading safer and more transparent?
Blockchain is immutable. It cannot be changed. And it is instantly verifiable to Live clients, for more trust and transparency for traders.
Live TigerWit account users can confirm their transaction data on the blockchain, which verifies the presence of the digest value. Any change to the ledger results in a new value of the digest being displayed for verification purposes and ensures the integrity of the original transaction data.
