Referrals Program
Referrals Program
Earn passive income through PulseTrader's 3-Tier Referral Program—a multi-level rewards system that pays you commissions on platform fees from traders you refer. Build your network, grow the community, and earn ongoing commissions from your referrals' trading activity.
💰 What is the Referral Program?
PulseTrader's referral program rewards you for bringing new traders to the platform through a 3-tier commission structure:
Tier 1 (Direct Referrals): Earn 30% of platform fees from traders you directly refer
Tier 2 (Indirect Referrals): Earn 12% from referrals of your referrals
Tier 3 (Third-Level): Earn 8% from third-level referrals
This creates a cascading reward system where you benefit not only from your direct referrals but also from the network they build—encouraging community growth and providing true passive income potential.

How Commissions Work

Real-World Example
Scenario: You refer Alice, Alice refers Bob, Bob refers Charlie
Alice trades $50,000 position:
Platform fee: $50,000 × 0.10% = $50
You earn: $50 × 30% = $15 (Tier 1)
Bob trades $30,000 position:
Platform fee: $30,000 × 0.10% = $30
You earn: $30 × 12% = $3.60 (Tier 2)
Alice earns: $30 × 30% = $9 (Tier 1 for her)
Charlie trades $20,000 position:
Platform fee: $20,000 × 0.10% = $20
You earn: $20 × 8% = $1.60 (Tier 3)
Bob earns: $20 × 30% = $6 (Tier 1 for him)
Alice earns: $20 × 12% = $2.40 (Tier 2 for her)
Total You Earn: $15 + $3.60 + $1.60 = $20.20

🌳 Multi-Tier Cascading
How the 3-Tier System Works
Automatic Tier Assignment When someone uses a referral code, the system automatically:
Creates Tier 1 relationship between code owner and new user
Checks if code owner was referred → Creates Tier 2 relationship
Checks if Tier 2 referrer was referred → Creates Tier 3 relationship
Example Network:
Commission Flow
When Charlie trades:
Bob earns: 30% (his Tier 1)
Alice earns: 12% (her Tier 2)
You earn: 8% (your Tier 3)
Platform: Remaining platform fees support development
Everyone wins!
