Will Profit Shield Fees Automatically Change After Profit Increases?

Written by 100X

After Profit Shield is activated, some users may encounter a situation where the position is already profitable when Profit Shield is enabled, and the profit continues to increase as the market moves further in their favor.

In this case, users may wonder: Will the Profit Shield fee automatically change as the profit increases?

The answer is: No, it will not change automatically.


1. How Is the Profit Shield Fee Calculated?

The shield fee in Profit Shield is calculated based on the locked profit amount when the user activates or updates Profit Shield.

Calculation formula:

Shield Fee = Locked Profit Amount × Current Shield Fee Rate

This means the system uses the profit snapshot at the time of activation or update as the fee calculation basis.


2. Will the Fee Be Automatically Recalculated After Profit Increases?

No.

If the position profit continues to increase after Profit Shield is activated, but the user does not update the protection, the system will not automatically recalculate the shield fee based on the new profit amount.

Example:

When the user activates Profit Shield, the locked profit is 1,000U.
The current shield fee rate is 8%.

The shield fee is:

1,000U × 8% = 80U

Later, the position profit increases to 2,000U.
If the user does not update Profit Shield, the shield fee will still be calculated based on 1,000U and will not automatically change to 2,000U.


3. When Will the Fee Be Recalculated?

The fee will only be recalculated when the user actively updates Profit Shield and the update is successful.

Continuing with the example above:

Initial locked profit: 1,000U
Shield fee: 80U

Later profit increases to: 2,000U
After the user actively updates Profit Shield, the system will recalculate the shield fee based on 2,000U.

If the current shield fee rate is still 8%, then:

2,000U × 8% = 160U

After the update is successful, the new locked profit amount becomes the fee calculation basis for the updated protection.


4. Will the Expiration Time Change After Updating Protection?

Yes.

Each time Profit Shield is successfully updated, the protection period will be recalculated.

New Expiration Time = Successful Update Time + 24 Hours

For example:

The user first activates Profit Shield at 10:00, and the original expiration time is 10:00 on the next day.
If the user successfully updates Profit Shield at 14:00, the new expiration time will become 14:00 on the next day.


5. Important Notes

Profit Shield fees do not automatically change with market movements.
The shield fee is calculated based on the locked profit amount at the time of activation or update.
Only when the user actively updates Profit Shield and the update is successful will the fee be recalculated.
After each successful update, the expiration time will also be recalculated.
The Profit Shield usage fee is a one-time fee calculated at 2% of the position margin.
Final fees, time, and execution results shall be subject to the information displayed on the 100X App and actual system execution.
