Sub-IBs
Manage hierarchical partner relationships and commission allocation.
Overview
The Sub-IB Network allows you to create hierarchical partner relationships where one IB (Master IB) can have other IBs (Sub-IBs) underneath them. This enables multi-level commission structures and network growth.
Key Concepts
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Master IB | The parent partner who has Sub-IBs underneath them |
| Sub-IB | A partner assigned under a Master IB in the hierarchy |
| Commission Allocation | The percentage of commission the Sub-IB keeps vs what goes to Master IB |
| Network Tree | Visual representation of the IB hierarchy |
How Sub-IB Commissions Work
When a Sub-IB's referral makes a trade:
- Commission is calculated based on Sub-IB's level
- Sub-IB receives their allocated percentage
- Master IB receives the remaining percentage
+-------------------+
| Total Commission |
| (e.g. $10) |
+---------+---------+
|
+-------------+-------------+
| |
+---------v---------+ +---------v---------+
| Sub-IB Share | | Master IB Share |
| 70% = $7.00 | | 30% = $3.00 |
+-------------------+ +-------------------+
Example: If total commission is $10 and allocation is 70%:
- Sub-IB receives: $7 (70%)
- Master IB receives: $3 (30%)
Managing Sub-IB Relationships
Viewing All Sub-IB Relationships
Navigate to Partner Area > Sub-IB Network to see all active Sub-IB relationships in the system.
Creating a Sub-IB Relationship
- Go to Sub-IB Network or use Quick Actions
- Click "Attach Sub-IB"
- Search for Master IB - Select the parent partner

- Set Allocation % - Define how commission is split
- Click "Attach"
From Partner Details Page

Sub-IB Actions
For each Sub-IB relationship, you can:
- View Details - See relationship info and commission history
- Update Allocation - Change the commission split percentage
- Suspend - Temporarily pause the Sub-IB relationship
- Activate - Resume a suspended relationship
- Terminate - Permanently end the relationship
- Reassign - Move the Sub-IB to a different Master IB
Allocation Rules
- Allocation must be between 0% and 100%
- Higher allocation = more commission for the Sub-IB
- Lower allocation = more commission for the Master IB
- Changes take effect for future trades only
📧
NoteAllocation percentage changes only apply to future trades. Previously earned commissions retain their original split and will not be recalculated.
