Becoming a Strategy Provider allows you to share your trading strategies with followers through the Wick Hunter Marketplace. Providers can monetize their skills by charging a fixed subscription fee or a share of the profits their followers make.
This guide covers:
Applying to become a provider
Creating and managing strategies
Understanding Semi Auto vs Full Auto setups
Creating strategy bots, sending and managing signals
Monitoring performance and subscribers
1. Applying to Become a Provider
To get started, you will need to apply for provider status. The application asks for basic details about your trading background and the type of strategy you plan to run. Once submitted, the Wick Hunter team reviews your application and notifies you whether it has been approved. Only approved users are able to publish strategies.
2. Creating a Strategy
Once approved, you can create strategies directly from your dashboard.
Choose a strategy type (Semi Auto or Full Auto).
Set your pricing model (fixed monthly fee or profit commission).
Add a description and other details to help potential followers understand your approach.
Choose which exchanges the strategy will support
You will need to choose which exchanges the strategy supports. This step is important because it defines the list of pairs that your strategy bots can trade. For example, if you want your strategy to run on both Binance USDT Perpetuals and Hyperliquid USDC Perpetuals, the list of available trading pairs will be limited to those supported on both exchanges. This ensures that every follower can replicate your trades regardless of which supported exchange they use.
3. Strategy Types
Semi Auto and Full Auto strategies differ in how much control you give to your followers.
Semi Auto strategies allow you to provide entry signals and a selection of bot templates that include TP, SL, and DCA settings. Followers can either use these templates exactly as you created them or customize them with their own preferences, while still receiving your entry signals.
Full Auto strategies give you near-complete control. You determine how positions are opened, managed, and closed, while followers can only adjust leverage, stop loss, and their size multiplier.
You will find a detailed description of the difference between Semi Auto and Full Auto strategies in the Wick Hunter Marketplace Overview.
4. Creating Bots and Signals
Once your strategy is live, the next step is to create and enable a Marketplace bot. Strategies can use four different types of bots, each designed for a specific way of generating signals:
DCA Trading Bots – These bots allow providers to send signals directly into Wick Hunter through a webhook. Signals can come from TradingView alerts or any other algo-trading platform that can make webhook calls.
Original Liquidation Bots – These bots generate signals based on liquidation events detected by Wick Hunter. Providers configure the liquidation conditions inside Wick Hunter, but the exact settings are never shared with subscribers.
Optimized Liquidation Bots – Similar to the original version, but optimized bots use Wick Hunter’s VWMA-based models to generate liquidation signals automatically, without requiring providers to define VWMA values themselves. As with other bot types, configuration details remain private.
Builtin Signal Bots – These bots produce signals using technical indicators within Wick Hunter (such as RSI, MACD, or Bollinger Bands). The specific indicator settings used by the provider are not disclosed to followers.
To start sending signals, you first need to create and enable at least one bot of these types. Once the bot is active, signals will either be forwarded from your chosen source (e.g., TradingView via webhook) or automatically generated by the liquidation or built-in bots, depending on the configuration you selected. Subscribers then receive these signals in real time, and their bots execute trades according to your strategy type.
Important: Marketplace bots must be created from Your Strategies → Bots → Create Bot, not from the general Create Bots menu. This ensures the bot is linked to your Marketplace strategy and can correctly deliver signals to subscribers.
5. Monitoring Performance and Subscribers
As a provider, you also gain access to monitoring tools. You can track your strategy’s performance over time, view statistics such as win rate and total returns, and see how many users are subscribed. Subscriber payments—whether fixed monthly fees or profit commissions—are processed automatically by Wick Hunter, with platform fees deducted before your share is distributed.
6. Getting Paid
As a Strategy Provider, you can monetize your strategies in two ways: through a fixed-price subscription or a profit commission model.
With a fixed-price subscription, followers pay a flat monthly fee to access your strategy, regardless of the results. This fee is credited to your account and becomes available for withdrawal at the end of each calendar month.
With a profit commission model, commissions are based on the profits your followers make while using your strategy. Each day, Wick Hunter calculates the realized profits for every follower and records how much commission you have earned based on the percentage you set. At the end of the calendar month, these values are totaled and credited to your account.
For example:
If a follower makes $100 profit in a month and your commission rate is 20%, you earn $20. After Wick Hunter’s platform fee, your payout is $15.
If a follower loses $200 in a month, they pay no commission.
If a follower loses $200 the first month and then gains $100 the second month, they will only pay commission on the second month’s profit ($20 before fees, $15 after fees).
Your earnings, credits, and full transaction history are available at Credits. You can also initiate withdrawal requests from this page. The Wick Hunter team will process your request and send you the funds.
Although commissions and fixed-price transactions are tracked daily, withdrawals are only possible at the end of each calendar month. This ensures that providers cannot withdraw early profits that might later be offset by losses during the same month.
Finally, note that followers must maintain a sufficient balance to cover commissions and fees. If their balance is too low, they will stop receiving signals from your strategy until they top up their account.
