Affiliate disclosure
Last updated
Some links on this site are referral links. This page says which ones, what I get, and what it changes for you (nothing).
Which links
The prop-firm links (FundedNext, FTMO, Blueberry Funded, The5ers, Funded Trading Plus, Eightcap, E8 Markets, Core Funded), the broker links (IC Markets, IC Trading, Exness, Blueberry Markets) the VPS link (Chocoping), the TradingView link, the cTrader platform link and the NinjaTrader platform link carry a referral code. The NinjaTrader link is the vendor affiliate link NinjaTrader issues to Ecosystem vendors; it changes no price and no licence term. Every such link is marked rel="sponsored" in the page code, which is the standard way to tell search engines and browsers that a commercial relationship exists.
What I get
If you open an account or buy a plan through one of those links, the company may pay me a commission or credit. You pay the same price as anyone arriving directly; referral codes do not add a markup. Where a firm has given me a discount code (Core Funded, for a first order), the code is the firm's own and is shown exactly as the firm issued it.
Why these companies and not others
They are the firms and brokers my software has actually been tested against. The prop-firm rule guards described in the case studies were validated on each firm's own demo feed, and the brokers listed are the ones whose spreads and execution the backtests were run with. I do not list a company because it pays; I list the ones I use, and I keep the referral link because it costs you nothing. Two prop firms (E8 Markets, Core Funded) carry a referral link without a validated edition of my software; the prop-firm page says so on each of their cards.
What it does not change
The results on this site are Strategy Tester and cTrader backtest reports with their conditions stated, and demo-account forward tests published on Myfxbook. They are not adjusted for any partner, and no partner has reviewed, approved or paid for any page here. Editorial content, case studies and the products I sell on the MQL5 Market are independent of these relationships.
Links that are not referral links
MQL5.com, Upwork, LinkedIn, X and Telegram links are plain links to my own profiles. MQL5 Market purchases pay MetaQuotes and the seller, with no third-party referral involved. Links to my indicators on the cTrader Store go straight to each Store listing and carry no referral code.
