How we plan to earn
- Affiliate commissionIf a reader signs up with a firm via a link on a comparison page, the firm may pay us.
- Trading tools only, for nowOnly trading tools (software such as trading journals) may carry such links. None yet.
- Brokers, prop firms, cryptoNo affiliate links for UK readers unless the firm, or another FCA-authorised firm, approves that exact copy in writing.
- Said at the topEvery page that can earn money will say so at the top.
The rules we keep
- Data pages never carry affiliate linksDatasets, trackers, CFD loss rates: whatever happens elsewhere.
- Firms can't pay to change data or scoresAny paid placement will be labelled "Sponsored" and kept out of scores and rankings.
- Rankings aren't for saleThe rules, and who pays us: how we rank.
- Firm-approved wording where the law needs itUK broker and crypto promotions are financial promotions: firm-approved copy plus risk warnings.
- Only codes a firm gave usWe publish no other discount codes.
- Commission never changes the factsPaying us has no effect on the figures we publish about a firm.
- Only programmes we can join honestlyNo VPNs or anyone else's identity checks to join programmes closed to UK clients.
