Introducing Brokers and commercial links: reading comparisons

The essentials

An IB relationship allows compensation under a broker's program. That agreement does not make a comparison site the custodian of your funds or establish that a particular account suits you.

Understand the mechanism, not just the definition

An IB introduces clients under a provider program rather than necessarily holding funds or executing trades. Account attribution depends on broker rules and systems. A link can identify a partner without establishing a change to an older account or an active rebate. Separate commercial introduction, account documentation and benefit calculations.

Example and verification

Look for commercial disclosure, sources, date and criteria. Distinguish a conditions comparison from a report of actual experience. First position does not prove a brand is cheaper or safer.

Worked case, step by step

If eligible activity generates USD 10 partner commission and a program returns 20% of that basis, the rebate is USD 2. It is not 20% of deposits, losses or arbitrary trading costs. Without eligible commission or assignment, the example creates no entitlement. Verify the basis and attribution with the provider.

What to verify when applying this

TPROFX labels commercial links and filters buttons using configured country-specific IB routes. Compare platform, contract and costs before applying. Registration and deposits happen with the broker, not TPROFX.

Practice: verify it in your environment

Learn by observing the process and keeping its data. Complete this practice in demo or using documentation, without sending real orders or adding capital for the exercise. Record differences between the example and your account specifications.

1. Identify the percentage basis and account status before calculating benefits.
2. Ask about terms without sharing credentials or duplicating profiles.

Test your understanding

Try the question before revealing the answer. Justify the conclusion and its assumptions rather than memorizing a number.
