7. Hosting & Performance Fees
Hosting Fee:
A one-time setup fee of £20.00 GBP is required to connect your trading account to our system. Ongoing hosting is funded via profits and does not require separate payments.
Performance Fee Structure:
A 30% performance fee is applied to net profits.
If no profits are generated, no performance fee is due.
This fee model may change with prior notice.
8. Risk & Capital Protection Policy
Arcstone Technologies adheres to a structured risk model, capping risk exposure at 30% of deposited capital. This model ensures clients retain a minimum of 70% of their initial capital at all times.
8.1 Performance Fee Eligibility
Arcstone Technologies operates on a month-to-month billing cycle. A 30% performance fee is chargeable only when the following conditions are met:
The account is in net profit relative to the original deposit.
The account is within a 30% drawdown from its highest recorded balance.
8.2 Risk Threshold Compliance Example
Initial Deposit: £2,500
Month 1: 15% profit = £375 → Account balance = £2,875
Billed 30% of £375 = £112.50
Month 2: 15% profit on £2,875 = £431.25 → Account balance = £3,306.25
Billed 30% of £431.25 = £129.38
Month 3: 30% loss on £3,306.25 = £991.88 loss → Account balance = £2,314.38
Still within 30% of original deposit (£750 max loss) → No billing, as there's no profit
Month 4: New profit of £200 → Account balance = £2,514.38
Only £14 of this is above the initial deposit → Billed 30% of £14 = £4.20
This monthly model allows billing on any new, unbilled profits above the original deposit, provided risk exposure remains within the agreed limits.
8.3 Billing Pause for Excessive Drawdown
If an account falls below the 30% drawdown threshold from its highest balance, billing is paused. Billing resumes once the account recovers to within 30% of the peak and generates net profit again.
8.4 Client Acknowledgement
By using Arcstone Technologies’ services, clients agree that:
The 30% risk cap is understood and accepted but in case of a black swan event could be exceeded
Fees are billed monthly on net profits above the initial deposit, within risk limits.
Billing is paused during drawdowns exceeding 30% from the highest recorded balance.
