WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
YouTube creators
Channels covering prop firm reviews, futures trading strategies, challenge walkthroughs, or trading education. Even 5K subscribers in a trading niche converts better than 500K general finance followers. A single honest review video earns commissions for months.
Discord moderators
Moderators of active trading communities (500–10,000 members). Your trusted position in the community transfers directly to conversion. A pinned affiliate link in a #resources channel drives consistent passive sales with zero ongoing effort.
TikTok & Instagram traders
Content creators posting trading results, challenge journeys, payout screenshots, and market takes. Short-form video drives massive top-of-funnel traffic. Use your coupon code in every video — links don't work on TikTok but codes do.
Bloggers & educators
Writers with trading blogs, email newsletters, or paid trading courses. Embed your affiliate link in existing content — "best futures prop firms" comparison articles rank in Google for years and generate consistent commissions with zero ongoing effort.

Questions FAQ
We review all applications within 48 business hours. You will receive an email with your approval status, your unique tracking link, your coupon code, and access to the affiliate dashboard. We approve the majority of applicants who have a genuine trading audience — even small accounts with engaged followers convert better than large unfocused ones.
No. You do not need to be a funded trader to join the affiliate program. However, affiliates who have personal experience with our evaluation — especially those who have passed and received a payout — convert at significantly higher rates. Their content is authentic and their audience trusts their firsthand experience.
Two methods: (1) Tracking link — a unique URL embeds your affiliate ID in a 60-day browser cookie. Any purchase made within 60 days of clicking your link is attributed to you. (2) Coupon code — a unique code (e.g., VTC-MIKE15) gives traders a discount and attributes the sale to you regardless of how they reached the checkout. Coupon codes are essential for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and podcasts where URLs are not clickable.
If a referred trader successfully charges back their purchase, the associated commission is reversed from your pending balance. This is standard practice across all affiliate programs. To minimize chargebacks, ensure your promotional content accurately represents our product and does not make unrealistic claims about passing rates or expected income.
Yes — with restrictions. You may run paid ads on Google, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram using your affiliate link. You may NOT bid on our trademarked terms ("Verified Trader Capital") in paid search. All paid ad creatives must be submitted to your affiliate manager for approval before running. Unapproved paid ads that create compliance issues will result in program termination.
