Affiliate Disclosure

Affiliate Disclosure

In compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255 ("Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising") and the equivalent disclosure rules of other jurisdictions, Northmark provides this clear disclosure of our material business relationships.

How We Earn Money

This site is run by Northmark, an individual operator. Our income comes mainly from referral commissions paid by partner brokers (affiliate commissions). When an account is opened through one of our partner links, the broker may pay us:

• A payment when the account is opened (one-time, CPA)
• Ongoing payments based on how much that account trades (revenue share)
• A combination of both ("hybrid")

These payments depend on accounts being opened and on trading volume. They have nothing to do with whether KAI's trades win or lose.

These commissions are paid by the broker, not by you. You pay the same fees and receive the same trading conditions as any other client of the broker.

How This Affects Our Content

We commit to the following editorial standards:

1. KAI's record is published in full, regardless of what we earn. How wins and losses are counted, and the publication of every trade including losses, never change with commission amounts.
2. How partner brokers are listed. On the joining guide and elsewhere, partner brokers are listed in alphabetical order, not by commission.
3. We do not accept payment for favorable coverage. No broker can pay us to make what we write more favorable or to remove anything negative.
4. We update our content based on facts. If a broker's terms get worse, we say so, even if it lowers our revenue.

Specific Disclosures

When you click a "Visit broker", "Open account", or similar action button, you may be directed via an affiliate tracking link.

• XM Trading: We are an XM Partner. When you open an account via our links, we receive commission per the XM Partners agreement.
• Exness and HFM: We take part in each broker's referral program. We may be paid when an account is opened through our links, and on an ongoing basis according to that account's trading volume.
• Other brokers: We have similar relationships with some other brokers. The relationship is disclosed on each broker's page.

Example Disclosure Statement on CTA Buttons

Throughout our site you will see disclosures near each affiliate call-to-action, such as:

• "(Sponsored)"
• "We may earn a commission"
• "Affiliate link"

This is intentional and required by law — it ensures you are informed every time you encounter a commercial link.

How to Verify Our Independence

If you have concerns about our editorial integrity:

• Read the actual broker terms on the broker's own site
• Check the regulator's official register (FCA, ASIC, CySEC) for the broker's status

Do Affiliate Commissions Affect You?

No. When you open an account via our affiliate link:

• You pay the same spread, commission, and fees as any other customer
• You receive the same bonuses (if eligible) as anyone else
• The broker pays us out of its own marketing budget
