What Is RevShare? The Basic Mechanics

2 / 9
📖
RevShare (Revenue Share): A model where you receive a fixed percentage (up to 80%) of the spread revenue generated every time a reader you referred trades on OlympTrade — paid monthly.
🔄
How it differs from CPA: CPA pays a one-time $250 per qualified account. RevShare pays you monthly for as long as your referrals keep trading — a true "compounding" model.
💡
How income compounds: Every new referral expands your RevShare base. 100 referrals = monthly revenue from 100 traders' spreads, all stacking together.
Who RevShare Suits
Long-form content creators, SEO bloggers, and anyone building asset-style income. Real monetization kicks in around month 3–6.
Who CPA Suits
Affiliates needing immediate monthly cash, high-traffic sites, and campaign-period traffic plays.
Best: Hybrid
Run RevShare as your base and switch to CPA during promo periods. The most powerful strategy uses both.

The RevShare Formula and Net Spread

3 / 9
RevShare Income = Net Spread × RevShare Rate (up to 80%)
Net Spread = Broker's gross spread − Broker's operating costs (such as bonus payouts)
📊
What "spread" means: The bid–ask difference OlympTrade earns from traders. The more your referrals trade, the bigger the spread pool — and your RevShare with it.
💡
What "net spread" means: RevShare is calculated on the broker's net revenue after deducting costs (like bonus expenses). In months with heavy bonus usage, net spread can be lower than expected.
Worked Example
Referrals' total spread: $1,000 / month
Net spread: $800 (after costs)
RevShare 80% → $640 / month
Tiered RevShare Rates
Your rate scales with referral performance. Starting tiers are lower, but as you build a track record you climb toward the 80% ceiling.

What Is NCO (Negative Carryover)?

4 / 9
📖
NCO defined: When your referred traders win big enough to push the broker's net revenue negative for a month, that deficit can be carried forward to the next month. That's Negative Carryover.
⚠️
What happens when NCO hits: Next month's RevShare is calculated only after the carried-over deficit is repaid. A long winning streak by your referrals can wipe out several months of commissions.
✅
Kingfin's NCO policy: Kingfin uses a monthly NCO reset. Last month's negative balance never carries into the next month, which makes income far more stable.
💡
Why the reset matters: Even if a referral has a huge winning month, the NCO disappears at month-end. Over the long run, income stays smoother — a major reason affiliates rate Kingfin highly.
💡 Versus other programs: Cumulative-NCO programs can leave you with zero income for months. Kingfin's monthly-reset model is materially friendlier to affiliates.

⚠️ Indicative only. Actual income varies with referral trading frequency, volume, and NCO events. The key to RevShare is consistently adding new referrals over time.

Who RevShare Is Right For

6 / 9
✅
SEO bloggers: Articles that rank keep delivering traffic, which keeps expanding your RevShare base. Content value and income grow together.
✅
Long-term content creators: If you'd rather build a system that grows monthly income over time — instead of restarting from zero every month — RevShare fits.
✅
FX-literate creators (or eager learners): Referring genuinely active traders means higher trade volume, which means higher RevShare. Targeted content beats generic traffic.
⚠️
Who RevShare doesn't suit: If you need cash now or want short-term wins, CPA is the better starting point. RevShare requires 3–6 months of patience.
3 Ingredients for RevShare Success
(1) Refer genuinely active traders. (2) Keep growing referral volume consistently. (3) Choose Kingfin for its monthly NCO reset.

How RevShare Works — Key Takeaways

1
RevShare pays you monthly from your referrals' trading spreads — an asset-style income stream that compounds month over month.
2
Formula: Net Spread × RevShare Rate (up to 80%). The more active your referrals trade, the larger your share.
3
Kingfin uses a monthly NCO reset. Negative balances never carry over, which keeps income materially more stable.
4
RevShare really starts paying off at the 3–6 month mark. The win condition is consistently referring active traders.
5
Best strategy: RevShare as your default + opportunistic CPA switches during promo windows. The hybrid play wins.
