The short version
Nuqta FX has one source of money: Exness, the broker we recommend. When you open an Exness account through one of our links, or type our partner code when you register, Exness pays us a commission. You don’t pay us anything, and using our code doesn’t change your spreads, commissions or fees.
We earn nothing from the other brokers we review, such as XM and HFM. We have no partnership with them, and our pages carry no partner links or codes for them.
How Exness pays partners
Exness’s partner programme has two main models:
- Revenue share: the partner receives a share of the revenue Exness makes from referred clients’ trading, for as long as those clients trade.
- Per-client payment (CPA): a one-time payment for each new client who makes a first deposit and trades enough to qualify.
Either way, the money comes from Exness, not from you.
The conflict of interest, stated plainly
Recommending the broker that pays us is a conflict of interest. Under revenue share, we’re paid more when referred clients trade more. Under CPA, we’re paid only when a client deposits and trades. Both pull towards encouraging people to deposit and trade, and towards ranking Exness first. This is how we resist that pull:
- Checkable criteria. We recommend Exness on criteria anyone can check, set out in our Exness review and in how we review.
- Honest comparisons. In our comparisons with other brokers, we say where a competitor does better. In Exness vs HFM, for example, HFM comes out ahead on a South African licence number we could confirm.
- Downsides in print. Our Exness review lists its downsides and a “who should look elsewhere” section.
- No trading calls. We don’t publish signals, trade calls or anything that tells you what or when to trade.
- No promised results. We never promise results, and every Exness button carries a risk line.
- Labelled sources. Figures come from regulators, brokers’ own pages or our own measurements, and are labelled as such.
What this means for you
- No extra cost. Using our link or code doesn’t add anything to what you pay Exness.
- The code is optional. It appears next to every Exness button so your account can be linked to us even if you register later in the Exness app. You don’t have to use it.
- Only one partner counts. If you type another partner’s code at sign-up, that partner is linked to your account instead.
- Choosing another broker is fine. If another broker suits you better, use it. Our guide to choosing a broker works for any broker.
Rebates
Exness lets partners return part of their commission to clients as a rebate. We don’t run a rebate programme at the moment. If that changes, this page will say so first, with the terms, including that rebates don’t offset trading losses.
Other money
We don’t run display advertising, and we don’t accept payment for reviews or articles. If that ever changes, we’ll list it here before it happens.
