How We Make Money

We make money in four ways. The table below summarises each, whether it is live today, and whether it can influence our editorial content. The detailed sections that follow expand on each one.

We plan for advertising to be a visible way we earn revenue. The display and native ad slots are already built into FXMARE — for example the leaderboard at the top of the page and the units in the right-hand rail — but we have not started selling that inventory yet. Until those slots are sold, they show our own house promo rather than paid advertising. When advertising does go live it will be sold both programmatically (through ad exchanges) and directly to advertisers.

Every paid ad unit will be labelled “Advertisement” so you can tell it apart from our own content. Advertisers will be able to target ads based on context and, where you have consented, on interests; we explain the data involved in our Privacy Policy. Advertisers have no say over our editorial content and cannot review or approve articles, ratings or data before publication.

FXMARE participates in affiliate programmes run by brokers and other financial-product providers. When you click a tracked link — for example a “Visit Broker” button on our broker comparison pages — and then open an account or take a qualifying action, the partner may pay us a commission (a flat fee per funded account, a share of revenue, or similar).

• It costs you nothing extra. The commission is paid by the broker out of its own marketing budget; you get the same terms you would by going direct.
• Links are labelled. Affiliate links are marked and use therel="sponsored nofollow noopener"attribute.
• They do not change our ratings. Whether or not a broker has an affiliate programme has no bearing on its independent star rating or its position in our comparison tables, which follow our published methodology.

From time to time a broker or brand pays to be featured in a dedicated, clearly marked slot — for instance a “Top Sponsored Brokers” box. These placements are always labelled Sponsored or “Ad”.

Sponsorship buys visibility, not endorsement. A sponsored broker still has to meet our review criteria, and paying for a placement never increases its independent rating or moves it up our unpaid, methodology-driven rankings. We limit the number of sponsored slots so they never crowd out our independent content.

We are building an optional paid tier, FXMARE Pro, planned for the future. It is expected to include advanced trading-journal analytics, custom alerts, deeper historical data and an ad-light experience for subscribers.

Our commitment is that the core experience stays free: live and delayed quotes, the economic calendar, news, the calculators and a usable trading journal will remain available at no cost. Pro will add convenience and depth, not lock away the basics.

Trust is the whole point of a site like this, so we hold ourselves to a few firm rules:

Our review process is described on the brokers page and in our editorial policy. If you ever spot content that looks like it crosses these lines, please tell us.

In line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and affiliate marketing (and equivalent rules elsewhere), we disclose our financial relationships clearly and up front:

• We do not let advertisers or partners write, edit or approve our reviews, ratings or analysis.
• We do not sell higher star ratings or higher positions in our independent comparison tables.
• We do not hide that a link is an affiliate or sponsored link.
• We are not a broker — we do not hold your money, execute trades or take a cut of your trading.
• We do not sell your personal information for money (see our Privacy Policy).
