How the performance fee works: 10% of monthly trading profit

The rule

Fee = 10% × the bot's monthly trading profit, calculated before Hyperliquid trading fees and funding. If the monthly trading profit is zero or negative, the fee is zero.

There is no subscription, no management fee and nothing charged up front.

What counts as monthly trading profit

Only trades the bot has closed during the month are counted. Add up the profit and loss on each of them; the total is that month's trading profit.

• Wins minus losses. A month with 1,400 USDC of winning trades and 400 USDC of losing trades has a trading profit of 1,000 USDC.
• Open positions are not counted. A gain or loss on a position that is still open is unrealised. It is only counted in the month the position closes.
• Your deposits and withdrawals are not counted. Adding money to your account is not profit, and taking money out is not a loss.

Example: the bot closes trades with a net result of +1,000 USDC in January. Fee = 10% × 1,000 = 100 USDC.

Calculated before Hyperliquid fees and funding

Trading on Hyperliquid has its own costs: trading fees on each fill, and funding paid every hour on open positions. Hyperliquid charges these directly, not CryptoBoost, and CryptoBoost's fee does not depend on them. Here is how one month looks in full:

So 90% of the trading profit is yours, before Hyperliquid's costs. After those costs, CryptoBoost's fee is a somewhat larger share of what is left: 100 out of 800 here, or 12.5%. Funding can also be positive, which would reduce that gap.

Losing months, and what is not carried forward

If the month's trading profit is zero or negative, there is no fee. Each month is billed on its own, so a loss in one month is not subtracted from the next month's profit.

All figures in USDC. February's loss did not reduce March's fee, so over these three months the fees (90) are 15% of the net profit (600), not 10%. Some providers use a high-water mark, which carries losses forward so that fees are only charged on profit above the previous peak. CryptoBoost does not. Consider this when you compare fee models.

When you disconnect mid-month

If you disconnect your wallet part-way through a month, the same rule is applied to the trades the bot has closed so far that month.

Example: you disconnect on 12 May. The bot has closed trades with a net result of +120 USDC so far, so the final fee is 10% × 120 = 12 USDC. If the net result so far had been −50 USDC, the final fee would be zero.

How billing and payment work

CryptoBoost is non-custodial: the bot can trade your account but cannot move funds out of it. That also means it cannot deduct its own fee, so you pay it yourself.

1. The bill is issued after the month ends. You will find it in your dashboard, and it is also sent to you by email. It shows the trading profit it is based on, the fee, the payment address and the payment deadline.
2. Pay the bill in USDC, to the address and following the instructions shown on the bill, before the deadline it states.
3. Check before you send. Only use payment details from your dashboard or from CryptoBoost's official emails, and check the address carefully. Crypto transfers can't be reversed.

If you pay from your Hyperliquid trading account, the payment will appear there as a transfer. It is not a trading loss. See how to verify fills and PnL.

How to check your bill

You can recalculate the bill from Hyperliquid's own records:

1. List the trades closed during the billing month in your Hyperliquid Trade History.
2. Add up their closed PnL (wins minus losses), without subtracting trading fees or funding.
3. Multiply by 10%. If the total is zero or negative, there should be no fee. The result should match the fee on your bill.

Use exactly the same period as the bill. The full method for reading fills and closed PnL is in how to verify fills and PnL.

How this compares with other fee models

Your Hyperliquid trading fees and funding are separate. They are charged by Hyperliquid, whatever fee model a bot uses.
