Everything worth asking, answered plainly.

No. There is nothing to pay us and no markup on your spread or commission — your pricing is the broker’s own standard pricing, identical to signing up without us. Brokers pay us for introducing accounts, out of revenue they already earn.

It must not be, and with us it is not. A clean introducing-broker arrangement leaves your pricing identical to going direct. Verify it yourself: compare your account’s spreads and commissions against the broker’s published standard pricing — they should match exactly. If any IB’s pricing is wider than the broker’s standard, that is a markup scheme and you should leave.

A broker’s referral partner. An IB introduces traders under a tracking code, is paid by the broker for it, typically shares part of that back as rebates, and stays reachable for support. An IB never holds your money, never executes your trades and never sets your spreads — the broker does all three, and your account is with the broker. The full guide is here.

Brokers pay us for the accounts we introduce and the volume those accounts trade, out of the spread and commission revenue they already earn. We add no markup to your pricing. This means we earn more when you trade more, and we are paid whether your account is profitable or not — a conflict of interest we state openly.

Generally no, and you should assume no unless a broker’s written terms say otherwise. In almost every programme a deposit bonus is credit that raises your usable margin, not cash you can send to your bank. Withdrawing part of your own deposit usually removes the bonus in proportion. The exact rule is in your broker’s bonus terms — read them before depositing.

No. A deposit bonus is leverage with a friendlier name: it lets you hold positions several times what your own money would carry, and an adverse move consumes your money first, not the credit. A larger bonus makes a good month better and a bad month much worse. Take the position sizes you would have traded anyway — the full mechanics are here.

A set traded volume — often a multiple of the bonus, measured in lots — that must be completed before any bonus funds are released. If the requirement is larger than the volume you would naturally trade, the bonus will effectively never unlock, and trading extra volume just to unlock it usually costs more in spread and slippage than the bonus is worth.

Not everywhere. Regulators in several jurisdictions — including the UK, the EU and Australia — prohibit brokers from offering deposit bonuses to retail clients. Availability depends on your country of residence and the broker entity you contract with. We do not arrange bonuses for residents of restricted jurisdictions.

A rebate is a share of the spread or commission you already pay, returned per standard lot traded. Because your account sits under our IB code, the broker shares part of its revenue with us and we pass a share back to you — calculated on your closed volume for the month, paid monthly. The rate depends on the broker, account type and instrument, and we confirm it in writing before you open the account. The arithmetic is here.

No. Rebates are paid from the broker’s side of the revenue, after the fact. Your spreads, commissions, execution and platform are exactly what they would be without the rebate. The only change is that a portion of your trading cost comes back to you monthly.

Sometimes. Some brokers allow an existing account to be re-tagged to an IB code, or a second account opened under it; others do not. Tell us the broker and we will give you a straight answer about what that specific desk permits before you do anything.

Stop before funding and message us. An unlinked account gets no bonus and no rebate, and we cannot see it or support it. Linking is usually fixable before a deposit and often impossible afterwards — which is why our process asks you to send your account number before any money moves.

No. Nothing we publish is a personalised recommendation or a signal, and we make no performance claims. We tell you what brokers are offering and how the mechanics work; what and whether to trade is entirely yours. Anyone offering signals or guaranteed returns in our name is impersonating us.

Never. Deposits go through the broker’s own cashier — never to us, never to any person. We never trade or manage accounts, and we never ask for passwords, investor passwords or 2FA codes. Anyone doing any of those is impersonating us.

Check the ID, not the display name. We never message first, never take money, never ask for credentials and never offer to trade for you. In Discord: Settings → Advanced → enable Developer Mode, right-click the profile, Copy User ID, and compare it with the ID on our contact page. No match means it is not us — screenshot it and report it.

The current list lives in the Discord’s #broker-codes channel, because line-ups and offers change too often for a static page to be trusted. The standard every listed broker must meet — verifiable regulation, a defensible withdrawal record, unmarked pricing, written terms — is on the brokers page.
