In Commodity trading, sub-brokers are divided into two categories

For this, every commodity brokers charge a certain amount for Enrich Commodities 2500 for Ap. AP will get % of profit sharing from the commodity brokers (Enrich give 60–40, 70–30, 80–20 even 90–10) % of sharing it depends on the volume of trading.
BDR is a sub-broker is also an authorised by any Commodity Broker like Enrich Commodities India Pvt, but they won’t get Terminal access for order placing. BDR get only get a percentage sharing of sharing like (Enrich give 60–40, 70–30, 80–20 even 90–10) % of sharing it depends on the volume of trading.
