Clean Commissions: The Professional Affiliate Dashboard Built on Trust

The world of retail broker affiliate schemes is incredibly dirty.

Standard schemes are built on "rebates." The broker pays the affiliate a percentage of the spread every time their referred user takes a trade.

This creates a massive conflict of interest. The affiliate is incentivized to make you trade as much as possible, regardless of whether those trades are profitable.

They want you to over-leverage, scalp frantically, and click "buy" and "sell" 50 times a day so they can collect their rebates. They profit directly from your transaction volume, which is the fastest way to blow a retail account.

At Drawdown Trading, we refuse to participate in this. That is why we built a partner system based on pure subscription revenue share, and launched our newly updated Affiliate Management Dashboard.


1. Transparency Over Rebates

Our partner program is designed strictly to reward trading educators and developers who teach sustainable risk-management.

We do not pay rebates on transaction volume. Instead, we pay a flat, recurring 30% commission on platform subscription revenue.

VOLUME REBATE SCHEME ──► Incentivizes Over-trading ──► Catastrophic Retail Blowout
OUR PARTNER MODEL    ──► Incentivizes Longevity    ──► Sustainable Community Growth

This simple shift aligns the incentives of the partner with the longevity of the trader. When your referred users learn to manage their drawdowns properly and survive in the markets, they retain their Drawdown Trading subscriptions. You get paid a steady, recurring income, and they protect their capital.


2. Deep-Dive Dashboard Analytics

Our newly upgraded Affiliate Management Dashboard provides professional-grade tracking metrics to ensure absolute transparency:

1. Real-Time Click Auditing

See exactly where your traffic is coming from. Our system tracks referred users with high-fidelity, cookie-safe parameters, protecting your commissions across multiple devices.

2. Subscription Cohort Metrics

Analyze the longevity of your referred community. The dashboard displays the average retention time, active subscription cohorts, and monthly recurring revenue (MRR) projection curves.

3. Transparent Payout Logging

Track your payouts in our clear ledger. Payouts are made on the 1st of every month via local bank transfer or SEPA, with downloadable PDF invoices for easy UK tax filing.


3. Strict FCA Compliance for Financial Promotions

UK regulatory standards regarding financial promotion are exceptionally high. Under FCA guidelines, affiliates must never make misleading claims, promise guaranteed returns, or encourage retail traders to risk capital they cannot afford to lose.

[!WARNING] FCA Compliance Warning: All promotional materials generated using our Affiliate Dashboard must feature the standard FCA risk warnings. Referrals must not target vulnerable retail investors, and must strictly represent the reality of retail derivatives (70-80% average retail loss rate).

We do not allow promotion alongside unregulated offshore brokers or copy-trading signals. We partner exclusively with high-quality educational portals that teach professional position sizing, mathematical expectancy, and risk-management discipline.

If you are an educator or trading system developer who wants to build a sustainable, ethical side-income by helping traders survive, apply to our Partner Program and explore our new Affiliate Management Dashboard.

Build trust. Build recurring value.
