Partner & Affiliate Program

The Spec Markets Partner Program is an opportunity for Introducing Brokers (IBs) and Affiliates to earn commissions by referring clients to Spec Markets. You can choose from multiple compensation models including Volume-Based, CPA (Cost Per Acquisition), or Revenue Share programs.

• Educational websites offering trading-related courses or mentorship
• Expert Adviser (EA) & Algorithm providers
• Strategy providers and Signal providers
• Money Managers

• Individuals introducing clients through personal networks

Follow these steps:

• Step 1: Open a Spec Markets trading account at www.specmarkets.com and complete the KYC (Know Your Customer) verification.
• Step 2: Access the "Become a Partner" section in your Client Portal and submit the Partner Application Form.
• Step 3: Wait for approval from Spec Markets (subject to our discretion based on your business model).

Required Documents:

• Individuals: Government ID, proof of address
• Businesses: Certificate of incorporation, company documents, proof of directors/shareholders identity

No, joining the Spec Markets Partner Program is completely free. You simply need to open a Spec Markets trading account and complete the Partner application process.

Clients are linked to your Partner account when they:

• Register using your unique Partner ID during account opening, OR
• Access Spec Markets through your unique Tracking URL

Important: You are responsible for ensuring clients use the correct Partner ID or URL. Spec Markets is not responsible for failed linkages due to incorrect information.

No. Partners and their Related Parties (including immediate family members) are prohibited from qualifying as clients under their own Partner ID. No commissions will be paid on such accounts, and Spec Markets may reverse or withhold any payments made in error.

The following types of trading will NOT qualify for commission payments:

• Trades held for less than 3-5 minutes (depending on program)
• Hedge trades (offsetting positions to reduce risk)
• Market manipulation or churning
• Latency arbitrage
• Any abusive or fraudulent practices
• Trading designed solely to generate IB rebates

Spec Markets reserves the right to withhold or cancel commissions for non-genuine trading activity.

Spec Markets offers two commission structures – Volume Based program and CPA program.

The Volume-Based Program pays you based on your clients' trading activity. Commissions are calculated daily based on the number of standard lots your clients’ trade.

Tier Requirements:

• Standard Tier: No requirements
• Silver Tier: Monthly net deposit ≥ $50,000 + new client acquisition
• Gold Tier: Monthly net deposit ≥ $100,000 + new client acquisition

For a referred client to be considered qualified, they must meet:

• Reside in a jurisdiction where Spec Markets accepts referrals
• Make a minimum deposit of USD $200 (or equivalent) in real funds
• Complete 5 lots of eligible trading volume (FX/Metals), or equivalent for other products
• Hold each qualifying trade for more than 5 minutes
• Be a genuinely new user (not previously registered)
• Engage in genuine market participation (no manipulation or abusive practices)

The Extra Incentive rewards partners whose clients generate higher profits for Spec Markets:

• If your clients are overall profitable → no additional incentive
• If your clients have an overall loss → Additional incentive = coefficient × lot size
• Coefficient = (Your profit per million) ÷ (Average profit per million)
• Maximum multiplier capped at 1.0

Example:

If your clients generate $20 profit per million while the average is $25, and they trade 1,000 lots:

• Coefficient = 20 ÷ 25 = 0.8
• Extra Rebate = 0.8 × 1,000 = $800

The Multi-Layer IB program allows you to earn additional income from subordinate IBs you introduce:

• Base IB: Earns 100% of trading commission from their own clients
• Parent IB: Earns 7% of the subordinate IB's earnings
• Grandparent IB: Earns 3% of the subordinate IB's earnings

This creates a passive income stream as you build your network of IBs.

For a client to qualify for CPA commission, they must meet ALL of the following criteria within 30 days:

• Minimum Deposit: USD $500 (or equivalent) in real, non-bonus funds
• Trading Volume: At least 10 lots of eligible trading (FX/Metals: minimum 10 standard lots; Other products: every $100,000 notional = 1 lot)
• Trade Duration: Each trade must be held for more than 5 minutes
• New Client: Must not have previously registered with Spec Markets
• Genuine Trading: No market manipulation, churning, or abusive practices

• Tier 1 ($300 USD): United Arab Emirates, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, Canada
• Tier 2 ($200 USD): Austria, Bulgaria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong
• Tier 3 ($100 USD): All other countries not listed in Tier 1 or Tier 2 where Spec Markets accepts clients

Commissions are credited to your Partner E-Wallet based on your chosen program:

• Volume-Based: Calculated and credited daily
• CPA: Credited once the client meets all qualification criteria
• Extra Incentive: Calculated monthly

All commissions are generated in your E-Wallet's nominated currency. If your client's account uses a different currency, commissions are automatically converted at the end-of-day spot rate.

You can withdraw commissions through the available payment methods in your Partner Portal:

• Spec Markets does not charge withdrawal fees
