Master IB
Un Master IB è un Introducing Broker che recluta e gestisce una rete di Sub-IB subordinati. Il Master IB percepisce commissioni override sul volume di trading generato dai partner della propria rete, in aggiunta alle commissioni derivanti dalle proprie referenze dirette.
What it means in practice
Il Master IB (Master Introducing Broker) occupa il vertice di una rete Introducing Broker multi-livello. Invece di segnalare trader esclusivamente in modo diretto, il Master IB recluta altri IB -- denominati Sub-IB -- che a loro volta riferiscono trader al broker. Questa struttura a livelli genera un flusso commissionale che risale la gerarchia, remunerando il Master IB sia per l'attivita della propria base clienti diretta sia per quella dell'intera rete subordinata.
Il Master IB guadagna in due modi: commissioni sull'attivita di trading dei clienti segnalati direttamente, e commissioni override sull'attivita generata dalla rete di Sub-IB. Le strutture override variano: alcuni broker riconoscono un importo fisso per lotto sulle operazioni dei clienti Sub-IB, altri applicano una percentuale sulla commissione percepita dal Sub-IB. Ad esempio, un accordo puo prevedere un override di 2 EUR per lotto standard su tutti i volumi generati dai Sub-IB, a fronte di una commissione per lotto diretta di 8 EUR per lotto sui propri clienti. I termini esatti dipendono dall'accordo negoziato tra il broker e il Master IB.
La gestione di una rete Sub-IB introduce complessita operativa rilevante. Il Master IB necessita di visibilita sulle performance di ciascun Sub-IB, sugli accantonamenti commissione e sull'attivita dei clienti referenziati. In assenza di una reportistica centralizzata, la riconciliazione diventa un processo manuale e soggetto a errori, con il rischio di compromettere i rapporti con i partner e rallentare la crescita della rete.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about master ib, how it works in affiliate programs, and where it shows up across Track360's supported verticals.
Un Introducing Broker standard segnala trader direttamente al broker e percepisce commissioni sulla loro attivita. Un Master IB fa lo stesso, ma recluta e gestisce anche una rete di Sub-IB, percependo commissioni override sul volume generato da questi partner a valle. Il ruolo del Master IB combina la referenza diretta con la gestione attiva della rete partner.

Sub-IB
A Sub-IB is an introducing broker recruited by another IB (the master IB) rather than directly by the broker. Sub-IBs operate under a multi-tier structure where commissions cascade from the broker through the master IB layer.
