Disclosure

Affiliate Disclosure

This affiliate disclosure says who pays me, how, and what that does not change. Some links on tachitrade.com are affiliate or referral links: if you open an account or buy something through one, I may be paid.

The short version. Using a link costs you nothing extra from me, and I do not set any partner’s prices or trading costs. Being paid never changes a figure, a source or a date on this site. This is not financial advice.

01Who pays me

List current as of October 19, 2026. If you see a partner link on this site that is not listed here, please tell me.

  • My own products. I sell trading utilities for MetaTrader on the MQL5 Market and mention them where they fit. They are mine, and I earn money if you buy. My MQL5 seller page lists them.
  • Advertising. I may show ads in future, for example Google AdSense. The ad network chooses them, I don’t, and an ad is not an endorsement.
  • Other services. If I add affiliate links for other services, such as VPS hosting, I will add them to the list above before they go live.

02How I can be paid

It depends on the partner’s programme and on your country. Payment can be a one-time fee when a person I referred meets the partner’s conditions, a share linked to that person’s trading activity, or a mix of both. Partners can delay, reduce or withhold payment under their own terms. I do not publish the rates.

A real conflict of interest. Where a programme pays on trading activity, I earn more when referred clients trade more, whether or not they make money. That rewards activity, not results. It is the reason I show costs and risks next to every broker I mention, and why nothing here encourages you to trade more.

03How links are marked

  • Affiliate and referral links carry rel=sponsored and are labelled “Affiliate link” or “Ad”, or have a disclosure line beside them.
  • They appear on broker pages, on prop firm pages and tools, and in a few calculators where a partner is relevant. This page has no affiliate links.
  • Links to my own products are labelled as my own products.

04What being paid does not change

  • The calculators work the same for everyone, whether or not you click a partner link.
  • Figures, sources and check dates do not change with commission. If a partner looks worse than a competitor on the numbers, the numbers stay.
  • I do not take payment to change a figure or a placement.
  • Each broker I feature gets a plain list of weaknesses and of what I could not confirm.

One bias I cannot remove: the brokers featured are the ones where I have a partner link and an account. That is not a survey of the market, and a broker missing here is not a bad one. The full rules are in How We Evaluate Brokers.

05Your country and your risk

A broker or prop firm may not accept clients from your country, and a link does not change that. Some countries restrict CFD trading or the promotion of it, so check the rules where you live. I am not a lawyer.

Risk warning. Forex and CFDs are leveraged products and a large share of retail accounts lose money. Prop firm challenges also carry a high risk of loss. Nothing on this site is investment advice. Read the risk disclaimer and each partner’s own terms before you act.

06Data and privacy

When you follow a partner link, that partner collects its own data under its own privacy policy and the laws that apply to you. On my side I only count clicks on partner links in aggregate. More in the privacy policy.

07Changes and questions

I update this page before I add a new partner link, and I change the date at the top whenever it changes. Questions or corrections: use the contact page or email tachiteam@gmail.com.
