Affiliate Disclosure

What Is an Affiliate Program?

An affiliate program is a standard digital marketing arrangement in which a publisher (like TradeSmart Academy) promotes a product or service on behalf of a business (such as an online trading platform) and receives a financial commission in return for qualified referrals — typically when a user clicks an affiliate link, registers, and makes a qualifying deposit on the referred platform.

Affiliate marketing is a legal, widely used, and transparent form of digital monetization employed by countless educational websites, review platforms, and informational resources across the internet. The key principle underpinning ethical affiliate marketing is full disclosure — meaning the publisher clearly informs their audience of the existence of affiliate relationships so readers can make fully informed decisions about the content they consume. This Affiliate Disclosure page is our formal fulfillment of that obligation.

By providing this disclosure, TradeSmart Academy complies with applicable advertising standards and regulations including guidelines from major advertising regulatory bodies. We believe transparency is essential, particularly in the context of financial services content where the stakes for readers can be significant.

Our Affiliate Relationship with Quotex

TradeSmart Academy participates in the Quotex Affiliate Program operated by ON SPOT LLC GROUP. Under the terms of this program, we may earn a commission when a visitor from our website clicks an affiliate link to qxbroker.com and subsequently registers a new account and makes a qualifying deposit on the platform.

The commission structure available to affiliates under the Quotex program includes multiple models such as Revenue Share, Turnover Share, CPA (Cost Per Action), and Sub-affiliate commissions. The specific commission model applied to referrals from TradeSmart Academy may vary. Commissions are paid in US dollars and are subject to the terms and conditions of the Quotex Affiliate Agreement.

It is important to understand that our participation in this affiliate program does not make us a representative, agent, employee, or official partner of Quotex. We remain entirely independent. TradeSmart Academy is not authorized to make promises, guarantees, or commitments on behalf of Quotex. We cannot assist with account disputes, withdrawal issues, or any platform-specific matters. For any issues related to your Quotex account, you must contact Quotex support directly.

How Affiliate Links Work on This Website

When you click a link on TradeSmart Academy that directs you to the Quotex platform, that link contains a unique tracking parameter that identifies us as the referring affiliate. If you complete a qualifying action — such as registering a new account and making your first deposit — within the tracking window specified by the affiliate program, we may earn a commission.

This commission comes at absolutely no additional cost to you. The terms, conditions, deposit requirements, payout rates, and any other features of the Quotex platform are exactly the same whether you arrive via our affiliate link or navigate directly to the platform. We do not receive any share of your deposits or trading losses. Our commission, if applicable, is paid by Quotex separately from and independently of your account activity.

Affiliate tracking cookies may be set on your device when you click our links. These cookies are typically valid for a defined period (which varies by program). If you wish to avoid affiliate tracking cookies, you can disable cookies in your browser settings or use private/incognito browsing. Doing so may mean we do not receive a commission for any referral you generate, but it will not affect your experience on the Quotex platform in any way.

Does Affiliate Income Influence Our Content?

This is the most important question we address in this disclosure, and we answer it directly and honestly: our affiliate relationship with Quotex does not influence or compromise the integrity of our educational content. TradeSmart Academy was built on a foundation of transparency, risk-awareness, and honest information — values that we consider non-negotiable and that would, if compromised, undermine the entire purpose of this website.

Our editorial standards require that we always: prominently display risk warnings on all financial content pages; clearly state that we are not affiliated with Quotex in the sense of being official partners, employees, or representatives; refrain from making any profit guarantees or unrealistic income claims; accurately represent known limitations, risks, and disadvantages of the platform alongside its features; and distinguish between facts we can verify from public sources and information that requires direct verification with the platform.

We understand that some readers may be skeptical about whether any affiliate-funded website can provide truly objective content. We respect that skepticism and encourage you to critically evaluate everything you read — including this website. We encourage you to cross-reference our content with other independent sources, read the platform’s own terms and conditions directly, and consult a licensed financial advisor before making any financial decisions.

Other Potential Affiliate Relationships

From time to time, TradeSmart Academy may review or reference other trading platforms, educational tools, or financial services. If we have an affiliate relationship with any such platform or service at the time of publication, we will clearly disclose this in the relevant article or review. If no disclosure appears, it means we have no affiliate relationship with the referenced entity at the time of writing. We commit to updating disclosures promptly if affiliate relationships change.

Risk Warning Reiteration

Even as an affiliate of Quotex, TradeSmart Academy maintains its firm position that digital options trading carries significant financial risk and is not suitable for all investors. We do not encourage anyone to trade who is not fully informed of these risks, who cannot afford to lose the funds they deposit, or who is in a jurisdiction where such trading is restricted or prohibited. Our affiliate income does not change this position.

We encourage every visitor, regardless of their interest in any trading platform, to: thoroughly read all risk warnings provided by any platform before registering; use demo accounts extensively before committing real money; start with the absolute minimum deposit if they choose to proceed; set and strictly observe personal loss limits; and seek advice from an independent, licensed financial advisor. Responsible exploration is our only recommendation.
