I started copy trading on Binance on 2026-03-10 with 444.4444 USDT. Here's what happened after less than 2 weeks:
My Current Situation:
Starting Capital: 444.4444 USDT
Current Net Copy Amount: 438.5544 USDT
Realized PnL: +4.81 USDT
Net Profit: -1.08 USDT
Profit Share Paid: 5.89 USDT
Actual realized loss = exactly the profit share fee
What Confused Me:
The trader had winning CLOSED trades (+29.45 USDT realized that week), so Binance automatically deducted 20% profit share = 5.89 USDT from my Net Copy Amount.
But my overall Net Profit was actually NEGATIVE (-1.08 USDT) at the time of deduction. The trader locked in small wins quickly, but is still holding large losing open positions.
So basically I paid a fee to a trader while being in a net loss. Is this normal? Has anyone dealt with this before?
My Questions for the Community:
Has anyone experienced profit share being deducted while overall net profit is negative?
Any advice on settings I should change going forward?
