Affiliate disclosure

Full transparency on our commercial relationships and how we make money.

LAST REVIEWED · 2026-05-24

Summary in plain English

Trading on MT5 has a commercial relationship with one broker: VT Markets. When you sign up to VT Markets through our introduction and trade, VT Markets pays us a rebate per lot you trade. This is how we fund the free signals service and the educational content on this site.

The rebate is paid out of the broker's margin, not from your account. Your spreads, your commissions, and your trading costs are the same whether you come through us or sign up directly. There is no premium charged to you for using our link.

Our relationship with VT Markets

We are an Introducing Broker (IB) for VT Markets under their standard partner programme. Under this arrangement:

  • We refer prospective clients to VT Markets.
  • VT Markets handles the entire client relationship: KYC, account opening, deposits, withdrawals, trading, customer support, complaints, and dispute resolution.
  • We have no access to your trading account, no authority to trade on your behalf, and no visibility into your personal financial information beyond aggregate trade volume that VT Markets shows us in their IB dashboard.
  • VT Markets pays us a rebate based on the volume you trade. The exact rebate amount is a commercial term between us and the broker and varies by instrument and account type.
  • Your funds are held with VT Markets in accordance with the broker's regulatory obligations in the jurisdiction where your account is held.

How this affects our editorial content

It does and does not, in specific ways:

It does not affect: our coverage of the MT5 platform itself, our analysis of how the broker industry works (A-book vs B-book, bridges, Ultency, server locations), our trading strategy content, or our coverage of MT5 tools and EAs. Those articles are written to be accurate references, and we update them when we find errors regardless of any commercial impact.

It does affect: which broker we link to when readers ask "which broker should I use." We link to our partner, VT Markets, because that is who we have a commercial arrangement with and because we believe they are a credible MT5 broker. Other competent MT5 brokers exist; we do not cover them in detail.

What we will not do: we will not write false or misleading statements about VT Markets or its competitors. If VT Markets does something we consider unacceptable, we will say so. The arrangement is not exclusive in the sense that it limits our editorial integrity.

How the signals service is funded

The signals we provide to clients trading through our VT Markets link are funded by the IB rebates we receive. We do not charge a separate subscription fee to access these signals. The commercial model is:

  • You sign up with VT Markets through us.
  • You trade in your own account, at your own risk, using your own judgement.
  • VT Markets pays us a rebate per lot of your trading volume.
  • We provide signals as a value-add to clients in our network.
  • If you stop trading, you remain in the signals channel as long as your VT Markets account remains active. We do not remove inactive clients.

This is a standard model used by many trading-education sites and signal services. It aligns our interests with yours in this sense: we benefit when you trade in volume, but we benefit nothing if you blow your account. We have no incentive to encourage reckless trading.

Conflicts of interest and how we manage them

The arrangement creates one obvious conflict: we benefit when you trade more lots. This is true of any broker affiliate. We manage this by:

  • Stating, in every signal and in our educational content, that responsible position sizing matters more than trade frequency.
  • Not encouraging over-trading or "revenge trading" patterns.
  • Explicitly noting in our risk disclaimer that the majority of retail CFD accounts lose money.
  • Refusing to participate in promotional schemes that incentivise specific deposit amounts or trade frequencies on our part.

What we receive and what we do not

We receive: per-lot rebates from VT Markets on the trading volume of clients introduced by us. The rebate is paid to us by VT Markets directly. We may also receive bonuses tied to broader programme milestones.

We do not receive: any compensation from any other broker. We do not receive payment from product manufacturers, third-party EA vendors, course sellers, or anyone else mentioned in our content. The content on this site reflects our own assessments, not paid placement.

Risk warning

Nothing on this site is personal financial advice. Our signals are general market commentary based on technical analysis. Trading CFDs is high risk and you can lose more than you deposit. The majority of retail accounts lose money. Past performance is not indicative of future results. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Read our full risk disclaimer before trading.
