When a signal is first published in the Copy Trading Community, it is automatically created under the Free Plan. When a signal is first published, it starts with a free plan. To offer a paid subscription, follow the steps below.
Converting a Free Plan to a Paid Subscription Plan
When converting a Free Plan into a Paid Subscription Plan, there are two available options depending on whether you wish to retain your existing free followers.
Why are there two options?
Existing followers are subscribed to the Free Plan. Once the signal is converted to a Paid Subscription Plan, the original Free Plan will be hidden by default and will no longer be available to new followers.
- Scenario 1: Keep Existing Free Followers
Existing followers can continue following the signal for free, while new followers can only subscribe to the paid plan.
Steps:
- Click … beside the Free Signal and select Convert to Paid Signal.
- Configure the subscription plan by setting: Plan Name, Performance Fee Cycle, Performance Fee Rate, Management Fee Cycle, and Management Fee Amount.
- Select Charge New Followers Only as the conversion method, then click Save.
Existing followers under the Free Plan will continue following at no cost. New followers will only be able to subscribe to the Paid Subscription Plan.
- Scenario 2: Require All Users to Subscribe to the Paid Plan
All users, including existing followers, must subscribe to the paid plan again. Existing followers will be removed automatically and must resubscribe, while new users can subscribe directly to the paid plan.
Steps:
- Click … beside the Free Signal and select Convert to Paid Signal.
- Configure the subscription plan by setting: Plan Name, Performance Fee Cycle, Performance Fee Rate, Management Fee Cycle, and Management Fee Amount.
- Select Charge All Followers as the conversion method, then click Save.
This action will terminate all existing follow relationships. Existing followers must subscribe again using the Paid Subscription Plan, while new users may subscribe directly.
