Marketplace Settings on Tradetron: Creator and Subscriber Guide
Marketplace settings on Tradetron are the controls a strategy creator uses to decide who can use their strategy and on what terms: whether it is listed publicly, the fixed and variable fees, whether others can duplicate it, whether positions are shown to non-subscribers, and whether each subscriber needs approval. Subscribers see the result of these choices on every strategy page.
What the Tradetron Marketplace is
Think of an online store, but for trading strategies. Creators build strategies on Tradetron and list them; subscribers browse, compare and deploy them in their own broker accounts. Funds stay with you, at your broker.
To open it, go to Strategies → Marketplace. The left side lets you search, sort (for example by rating or minimum capital) and filter by tags, exchange and fee type. The right side lists the strategies, each with its minimum capital and fee and buttons to Subscribe or Duplicate.
Strategies → Marketplace: filters on the left, strategies on the right
New strategies are added often, so it's worth checking back. For a full guide to choosing one, read how to find and use strategies on the Tradetron Marketplace.
Reading a strategy page (for subscribers)
Click any strategy's name to open its page. It has four sections:
| Section | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Description | What the strategy does, who built it, capital required and the fee structure. Subscribe and Duplicate buttons are here |
| Subscribers | Who else subscribes, if the creator chose to show them |
| Statistics | How the strategy has performed, with an equity curve and figures such as P&L and drawdown |
| Rating & Feedback | Ratings and reviews from subscribers |
1: author name, 2: fee structure, 3: subscribe or duplicate
Click the author's name to see their profile and their other strategies. You can rate and review only strategies you've subscribed to. Once you subscribe, the strategy appears in My Strategies, ready to deploy.
Subscribe or duplicate?
They are two different actions, and the creator decides whether duplicating is allowed.
Subscribe
- Run the strategy from your own account
- The creator keeps maintaining the logic
- You can't see the mechanics or change them
- Updates by the creator apply to you
Duplicate
- Creates your own copy of the strategy in your account
- Full control: see the logic and modify it
- Your changes stay in your copy; the original is untouched
- Only possible if the creator allows it
The Marketplace Settings panel (for creators)
When you build a strategy, the Marketplace Settings section controls how it appears and who can use it. Here's what each setting does:
Marketplace Settings, filled in by the strategy's creator
The Marketplace Settings section of a strategy
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Public Strategy | Yes lists the strategy on the Tradetron Marketplace. No keeps it private to you |
| Monthly Fixed fee | A fixed amount each subscriber pays you every month |
| Variable fee (%) | A percentage of the subscriber's profit from the strategy |
| Invoice Frequency for Variable Fee | How often the variable fee is invoiced, for example every month |
| Display Positions to Non Subscribers | Yes lets people who haven't subscribed see the strategy's positions |
| Allow others to duplicate strategy | Yes lets users make their own editable copy |
| Confirm each subscriber manually | Yes means you approve every subscription request |
| Minimum Multiple for subscriber to deploy | The smallest multiplier a subscriber can deploy at. It multiplies the position sizes in your strategy |
| Recreate old positions for new subscriber | Yes recreates the strategy's open positions for someone who subscribes mid-trade |
| Subscribers with Private Link Only | Yes keeps the strategy off the public listing; people with the link you share can still subscribe |
| Hide Subscribers from others | Yes hides your subscriber list from other users |
How the fees work, in one example
A fixed fee is predictable for both sides. A variable fee ties what the creator earns to how the strategy does for the subscriber. Many creators combine a small fixed fee with a variable one.
Choosing settings that build trust
- Show positions to non-subscribers if you can: it lets people see the strategy trading before they pay.
- Set an honest minimum multiple and Capital Required (in Advanced Settings) so subscribers aren't under-funded.
- Use manual confirmation when the strategy has capacity limits or needs subscribers who understand it.
- Use a private link to test a strategy with a small group before listing it publicly.
- Recreate old positions only if a mid-trade entry still matches the strategy's risk. For many intraday option strategies, a late entry is a different trade.
