Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: March 9, 2026
The Short Version
Some links on TradingToolsHub are affiliate links. If you sign up for a service through one of these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the site free and independent. Affiliate relationships never influence our ratings, reviews, or recommendations.
How We Make Money
TradingToolsHub is a free resource. We earn revenue through:
- Affiliate commissions — When you click a link to a trading tool and sign up, we may receive a referral fee from the provider. The fee varies by program (some pay per signup, others pay a recurring percentage).
- That's it. We do not charge for reviews, sell placement or rankings, accept payment for higher ratings, or gate any content behind a paywall.
What Affiliate Links Do NOT Affect
- Ratings and scores — Every tool is rated using our 5-factor methodology. Whether or not we earn a commission has zero influence on the score.
- Rankings and recommendations — Our "Best of" lists and comparison verdicts are based on features, pricing, and user fit — not affiliate payouts.
- Coverage decisions — We review tools with and without affiliate programs equally. Of the 174 tools in our directory, 169 have no affiliate relationship with us.
- Negative reviews — If a tool has problems, we say so, regardless of affiliate status. Our credibility depends on honest reviews.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
On TradingToolsHub, affiliate links are marked with rel="nofollow sponsored" in the HTML. When you see a "Visit [Tool Name]" button on a review or comparison page, it may be an affiliate link if we have a partnership with that provider. The destination is always the tool's official website — we never redirect through hidden intermediaries.
Your Cost
Using our affiliate links costs you nothing extra. In many cases, affiliate partnerships provide the same pricing you would get by going directly to the provider's website. We will never promote a deal through our links that is worse than what's publicly available.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). We believe in full transparency about how we earn revenue and how it relates to the content we produce.
