Transparency and Editorial Standards
Affiliate Disclosure
I built TraderFuel to help traders understand what they are actually buying before paying for a prop firm challenge, funded account, trading platform, or related service. This page explains how TraderFuel earns money and how I separate affiliate relationships from my editorial conclusions.
Last updated: July 22, 2026
Some links and discount codes on TraderFuel are affiliate links or affiliate codes. If you use one of them to make a purchase, TraderFuel may receive a commission or another form of compensation. In most cases, this does not increase the price you pay.
How TraderFuel Earns Money
TraderFuel publishes reviews, comparisons, rankings, trading guides, promotional information, and educational content about proprietary trading firms and related trading services.
Some links to third-party products or services are affiliate links. Some discount codes may also be connected to an affiliate partnership. If you click one of these links, use one of these codes, or purchase a product through them, TraderFuel may receive a commission or another form of compensation.
In most cases, this does not increase the price you pay. Some links or codes may provide a discount, promotional price, or other benefit.
Affiliate revenue helps me pay for hosting, software, account purchases, testing, research, content production, and the continued operation of TraderFuel.
My Editorial Standards
Affiliate compensation does not purchase a positive review, a higher score, a favorable verdict, or the removal of legitimate criticism.
I also review and recommend companies from which TraderFuel receives no compensation. In the same way, having an affiliate relationship with a company does not guarantee that I will recommend it.
Commercial relationships may influence which discounts, promotions, buttons, or calls to action are displayed on a page. They may also influence which offers receive more frequent commercial updates. However, they do not determine my review scores, risk assessments, criticisms, or final verdicts.
My goal is not to pretend that affiliate relationships do not exist. My goal is to disclose them clearly and still give traders an honest assessment of the product, including its weaknesses.
Personal Testing and Independent Research
When I have personally purchased, traded, tested, or received a payout from a company, I aim to state that clearly in the relevant review.
However, I have not purchased or traded every account, product, or service mentioned on TraderFuel. Depending on the article, an evaluation may also be based on:
- Official trading rules, policies, and legal documents.
- Dashboard, platform, checkout, or account-area testing.
- Direct communication with the company.
- Screenshots, emails, and other supporting evidence.
- Publicly available information.
- Trader feedback and reported experiences.
- Pricing, payout, restriction, and rule comparisons.
Where the distinction matters, I try to make it clear whether a statement comes from my own experience, information supplied by the company, or independent research.
Free Access, Test Accounts, and Other Benefits
TraderFuel may occasionally receive demo access, test accounts, promotional accounts, temporary platform access, discounts, press materials, or other benefits from a company covered on the website.
When that relationship could reasonably affect how a reader interprets the content, I aim to disclose it in or near the relevant article, video, email, or social media post.
Receiving access, a test account, a discount, or another benefit does not guarantee positive coverage. A company cannot purchase a specific score, ranking, recommendation, conclusion, or final verdict.
Sponsored Content and Paid Placements
If TraderFuel publishes sponsored content, a paid placement, or content produced under a specific commercial agreement, I will identify it as sponsored, paid, or created in partnership with the relevant company.
Sponsored content will not be presented as an independent review when it is not one.
Discount Codes and Promotional Offers
Some TraderFuel links and discount codes may unlock a reduced price or another promotional benefit. TraderFuel may receive compensation when one of these links or codes is used.
Promotions, prices, account sizes, eligibility requirements, and discount terms can change or expire without notice. I do not control a third-party company’s checkout, payment processing, eligibility decisions, or fulfillment of an offer.
Always confirm that the expected discount appears before completing a purchase. The final price and terms displayed by the provider at checkout apply.
Affiliate Tracking
Affiliate links may contain referral identifiers, tracking parameters, cookies, or similar technologies that allow a company to attribute a visit, signup, or purchase to TraderFuel.
In some cases, a purchase may be attributed to TraderFuel even if you later return directly to the provider’s website or use a TraderFuel discount code instead of clicking the original link again.
For more information about cookies and data processing, review the Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy .
Accuracy, Rule Changes, and Corrections
Prop firms frequently change their prices, account rules, payout conditions, restricted countries, trading platforms, discount codes, and promotional offers.
I make reasonable efforts to verify and update important information, but I cannot guarantee that every page will always reflect the latest terms at the exact moment you read it.
Before purchasing an account or service, verify the current rules, pricing, refund conditions, payout requirements, country restrictions, and checkout price directly with the provider. The provider’s official terms and conditions govern your purchase.
If you find information that appears inaccurate or outdated, please contact me so I can review and correct it where appropriate.
Trading and Prop Firm Risk
Affiliate compensation received by TraderFuel should not be interpreted as financial advice, an earnings guarantee, or a promise that a particular prop firm, challenge, account, or trading platform will be suitable or profitable for you.
Trading and proprietary trading evaluations involve financial risk. You may lose challenge fees, fail an evaluation, breach account rules, lose access to an account, or receive a different outcome from the one described in my experience or in another trader’s report.
You are responsible for evaluating the rules, risks, costs, and suitability of any product before purchasing or trading.
Where Affiliate Disclosures Appear
This page provides TraderFuel’s general affiliate disclosure. I also aim to place shorter disclosures near commercial recommendations, affiliate buttons, discount codes, comparison tables, and other content containing a material affiliate relationship.
A link to this page does not replace the need for a clear disclosure inside the relevant review, ranking, guide, email, video, or social media post.
