What you earn on
EVERY PURCHASE EARNS
🛒
Challenge purchase
15–25%
Your primary commission event. Every new challenge your referred trader buys earns your full tier rate on the gross fee collected.
Example: $299 × 20% = $59.80 per sale
🔄
Reset / retry purchase
10–15%
When a trader you referred fails their challenge and buys a reset — you earn again. Industry average is 2–3 attempts per trader.
Example: $149 reset × 12% = $17.88
📈
Account upgrade
10%
When your referred trader upgrades from a $25K to a $100K account — you earn 10% on the upgrade fee difference.
Example: Upgrade fee × 10%

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
📺
YouTube creators
Channels covering prop firm reviews, futures trading strategies, challenge walkthroughs, or trading education. Even 5K subscribers in a trading niche converts better than 500K general finance followers. A single honest review video earns commissions for months.
Highest conversionLong-tail earnings
💬
Discord moderators
Moderators of active trading communities (500–10,000 members). Your trusted position in the community transfers directly to conversion. A pinned affiliate link in a #resources channel drives consistent passive sales with zero ongoing effort.
High trustPassive income
📱
TikTok & Instagram traders
Content creators posting trading results, challenge journeys, payout screenshots, and market takes. Short-form video drives massive top-of-funnel traffic. Use your coupon code in every video — links don't work on TikTok but codes do.
Massive reachViral potential
✍️
Bloggers & educators
Writers with trading blogs, email newsletters, or paid trading courses. Embed your affiliate link in existing content — "best futures prop firms" comparison articles rank in Google for years and generate consistent commissions with zero ongoing effort.

Program terms
PROGRAM RULES
| Rule | Detail | Why it exists |
|---|---|---|
| No self-referral | You cannot use your own affiliate link or code to purchase a challenge | Prevents commission fraud — commissions are for genuine referrals only |
| No guaranteed profit claims | All promotional content must include clear risk disclosure. You cannot promise traders they will pass or earn money | Regulatory compliance — CFTC and consumer protection laws apply to your promotion |
| Approved creatives only | All banners, scripts, and talking points must use materials from your affiliate portal | Prevents unauthorized claims that could create legal liability for the firm or for you |
| 60-day cookie window | If someone clicks your link and buys within 60 days — you earn the commission | Rewards content creators whose audience takes time to decide |
| Reversal on refund | Commissions are reversed if the referred purchase is refunded within 14 days | Prevents coordinated fake purchases for commission extraction |
| Minimum payout: $100 | Commissions accumulate until $100 minimum before payment is processed | Reduces payment processing overhead for micro-amounts |
| Payment: Net-14 | Commissions earned in period X are paid 14 days after period close | Faster than industry standard Net-30 — we pay affiliates faster to retain better partners |
| Geographic restrictions | You cannot promote to OFAC-sanctioned countries (Russia, Iran, North Korea, Belarus) | Mandatory legal compliance — our KYC rejects these automatically but proactive compliance protects you too |

WHAT OUR AFFILIATES SAY
"I posted one honest review video on YouTube comparing VTC to Apex. That single video has generated consistent commissions every month since. The 60-day cookie window means even slow-deciding traders count."

"I moderate three futures Discord servers. I pinned my VTC coupon code in the resources channel of each one. Zero effort after the initial setup — commissions just come in every two weeks like clockwork."

"I post my trading results on TikTok daily. I mention my code verbally in every video. The retry commissions are underrated — failed traders rebuying generates almost as much as new sales for me."
