# Affiliate and Referral Program

The ClickOptions Affiliate Program is designed to be one of the most rewarding and transparent in the industry.\
Affiliates earn **lifetime commission rewards** for every client they introduce, with progression from a base rate of **50%** up to **65%**.

### Program Overview

* **Lifetime Rewards:** Commissions are paid for as long as referred clients trade on the platform.
* **Default Commission:** 50% of platform fees generated by referred clients.
* **Progression Tiers:**
  * 50% → Default starting rate
  * 55% → Reached when milestone achieved
  * 65% → Maximum reward level
* **Separate Wallet:** Affiliate earnings are stored in a dedicated **Affiliate Wallet**, independent of the trading balance.

### Progression & Milestones

Affiliates unlock higher commission rates by growing their network.\
Milestones are based on both **number of clients** and **total trading volume** introduced.

* **Level 1 (50%)** – Default
* **Level 2 (55%)** – Example milestone: 25 introduced users **AND** $5M total trading volume
* **Level 3 (65%)** – Example milestone: 100 introduced users **AND** $25M total trading volume

A **progress bar** inside the Affiliate Dashboard shows progress toward the next tier.

* For a referred order with a $100 fee:
* $$
  AffiliateEarnings = Fee \times AffiliateRate
  $$
