So someone raised a point on a Telegram group... How did MTI pay the 10% referral commissions from day one? I.e. the first batch?
So I fired up excel.
Using round numbers... Say someone deposited R100 000 on day 0, right at the beginning of the day. Their upline is due R10 000 in 7 days time as MTI claims they don't use members deposits to pay referral bonuses but use their profits from the 10% they take of the profits per day.
MTI's compensation plan (as per daily payout flyers):
Member 40%
Binary 20%
P1/P2 5%
Traders 25%
MTI 10%
Now... If MTI had rip roaring 5% profit trades per day they would only get R500 of the R100 000 at the end of day 0. R100 000 * 0.05 = R5000 -> R5000*0.1 = R500 (MTI's 10% slice at end day 0).
It would take roughly 15/16 days for MTI to earn the R10 000 they owe the R100 000 depositors upline.
If they had more average days at 2% per day it would take them 41/42 days to earn the R10 000 they owe the R100 000 depositors upline.
With their "average 1% per day" it will take 83/84 days for them to earn what they need to pay the R10 000 referral bonus.
The calculation is done by increasing the members balance by 40% of the daily profit percent chosen and giving MTI their 10% of the profit slice per day:
| Day | Balance | Profit end of day | Member Balance end of day | MTI Slice | MTI running balance |
0 | 100000 | 400 | 100400 | 100 | 100 |
1 | 100400 | 401.6 | 100801.6 | 100.4 | 200.4 |
2 | 100801.6 | 403.2064 | 101204.8 | 100.8016 | 301.2016 |
3 | 101204.8 | 404.8192 | 101609.6 | 101.2048 | 402.4064 |
4 | 101609.6 | 406.4385 | 102016.1 | 101.6096 | 504.016 |
5 | 102016.1 | 408.0643 | 102424.1 | 102.0161 | 606.0321 |
6 | 102424.1 | 409.6965 | 102833.8 | 102.4241 | 708.4562 |
This same principle will apply with more deposits etc. AND this excludes any and all running costs MTI incurs, like offices, staff and servers etc.
