Affiliate & Earnings Disclosure

How affiliate links work

• ✓ Certain broker, app, or tool links redirect through a tracking URL (always routed via /go/... paths).
• ✓ If you open an account, subscribe, or complete a qualifying action after clicking, we may receive a commission.
• ✓ These commissions help cover hosting, data tools, and the ongoing work of producing guides, studies, and calculators.
• ✓ You never pay more as a result of using an affiliate link — the cost to you is the same as going directly.

Current affiliate partners

The site currently has affiliate relationships with brokers and tools that appear in reviews and comparison pages, including but not limited to:

• — Interactive Brokers (IBKR) — appears across broker reviews, learn guides, and calculator CTAs.
• — TradingView — linked as a charting and research tool in study and learn pages.
• — Other brokers (M1, Webull, and others featured in comparison pages) — where affiliate programmes are available.

Not every broker or tool on the site has an affiliate relationship. Some are included purely because they are relevant to the comparison.

Editorial independence

• ✓ Broker rankings and study designs are based on costs, features, product access, and reliability — not affiliate payouts.
• ✓ We recommend low-fee or no-commission options even when they pay little or nothing.
• ✓ Critical commentary on a partner product is never softened because of the affiliate relationship.
• ✓ If a broker’s fees, FX pricing, or product access are poor, we say so regardless of partnership status.

How we label affiliate links

• ✓ Pages containing affiliate links include a disclosure statement near the relevant buttons or at the top of the page.
• ✓ The standard wording is: “We may earn a commission if you open an account using our links. You do not pay extra.”
• ✓ We avoid dark patterns, forced opt-ins, countdown timers, or misleading urgency copy.
