FundedCompass is reader-supported. To keep our content free, some of the links on this website are affiliate links. This page explains exactly what that means, in plain language.
What an affiliate link is
An affiliate link is a special tracking link to a third-party company (such as a futures prop firm). If you click one of our affiliate links and then sign up for or purchase a product or service, we may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you. You pay the same price you would have paid otherwise.
How this supports our work
Researching firms, testing evaluations, and writing honest, detailed guides takes time. Affiliate commissions are how we fund that work and keep every guide free to read. If you find our content useful and choose to sign up through our links, thank you — it genuinely helps.
Our commitment to honest reviews
Earning a commission never changes our opinion or our rankings. Specifically:
- We only recommend firms we have researched and would consider using ourselves.
- We describe the downsides of a firm as openly as the upsides.
- Our comparisons are based on real factors — fees, drawdown rules, payout speed — not on who pays the highest commission.
- If a firm we have an affiliate relationship with is not a good fit for a particular reader, we say so.
You're always free to skip the link
You are never obligated to use our links. You can always go directly to any firm's website. We're grateful when you use ours, but our advice is the same either way.
Not financial advice
Everything on FundedCompass is for educational purposes only and is not financial, investment, or legal advice. Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss, and most retail traders lose money. Always do your own research and verify current rules and pricing on each firm's official website before making any decision.
