Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: October 2025
Transparency matters to us.
At SecretsToTrading101, we want you to understand exactly how our website is funded and how that may relate to the content you read.
This page explains how we make money, how we choose who to work with, and what that means for you as a visitor.
1. How Our Site Is Funded
SecretsToTrading101 is free to use.
We earn income through:
- Affiliate partnerships: when you click a link or sign up with prop firm partners we review, we may receive a commission or referral fee.
- Sponsored placements or promotions: occasionally, we may publish paid features or run giveaways in collaboration with trading firms or brands.
- Advertising: in the future, we may display banner ads or use Google Ads for monetisation.
This revenue helps cover the cost of research, writing, testing, editing, and maintaining the site.
2. Our Editorial Independence
Money never decides our opinion.
Every review, comparison, and guide is written and fact-checked by our editorial team before publication.
We do not:
- Accept payment in exchange for positive reviews or rankings.
- Guarantee exposure to any partner.
- Allow sponsors to edit or approve our editorial content.
When a post is sponsored, it will be clearly labelled as such at the top of the page.
3. How Affiliate Links Work
For example when you click an affiliate link for any forex brokers featured on our website, a small tracking code tells the partner that you came from SecretsToTrading101.
If you later sign up or buy something, we may receive a small commission.
- This never costs you extra.
- It does not affect how we rate or review a company.
- Affiliate income does not influence the order of listings unless clearly marked as “Sponsored” or “Ad.”
You are always free to visit a partner site directly without using our links.
4. Choosing Who We Work With
We only recommend forex brokers, prop firms, or platforms that:
- Have a good reputation in the trading community.
- Offer transparent terms and legitimate funding models.
- Pass our internal checks for compliance, payout history, and customer feedback.
Partners must meet our editorial and compliance standards before being featured on the site.
5. Regulatory & Legal Information
Our affiliate relationships are disclosed in line with:
- UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) guidelines
- FTC Endorsement Guidelines (US)
- Google’s Search Essentials & Spam Policies
- Google’s Product Review Guidance (2024–2025)
These rules require us to clearly label paid or sponsored content so users can make informed choices.
6. Sponsored Content and Promotions
From time to time, we may collaborate with trading firms or brands on promotions, competitions, or giveaways.
Sponsored content will always include:
- A “Sponsored” or “Partnered With” label at the top.
- A short explanation of the nature of the collaboration.
- A link to this disclosure page.
We never publish misleading or hidden endorsements.
7. Our Promise to Readers
We aim to be honest, independent, and transparent at all times.
Our reviews are written for traders, not for companies.
If a partner’s offer changes, we update the content as quickly as possible to keep information accurate.
If you ever find a page that seems unclear about our relationship with a company, please let us know at team@secretstotrading101.com.
