Affiliate Disclosure

How we make money

Some links to crypto exchanges and forex brokers on TradeCookbook are affiliate links. If you open an account or trade through one, the platform may pay us a commission or a share of its revenue — at no extra cost to you. You never pay more for using our link, and often the terms are identical to going direct.

What it does — and doesn't — change

It doesn't change what we document or how we describe a platform. We test with real accounts and report what we find, including the downsides, the risks and the cases where a platform isn't a good fit or isn't available to you. We are a practical guide, not a ratings or "best broker" site (see how we test), so there are no paid rankings or scores to buy.

• We do not accept payment to change, remove or soften what a guide says.
• We do not present affiliate partners as safer or better than the facts support.
• A platform being an affiliate partner does not earn it a recommendation — we don't issue recommendations.

Where you'll see it

Affiliate links appear on some guide pages and in call-to-action buttons, and individual articles carry a short disclosure near those links. When an affiliate link isn't available, we simply don't show a button.

Your part

Using our links is optional and appreciated — it's what funds the testing and screenshots. But choose any platform on the merits and your own research, not because of a link. Trading crypto and forex is high-risk; see our terms & risk disclaimer.
