How we are funded

TradeLens is an independent publisher and is not affiliated with Pocket Option; our funding model is affiliate partnerships, and this site takes part in the Pocket Option partner programme: links to the platform here are affiliate links, and if you open an account through one we may be paid a commission at no extra cost to you. Fixed-time and digital options carry a high risk of losing your capital.

How TradeLens is funded

TradeLens is an independent editorial site. We do not sell subscriptions and we do not charge readers. Our funding model is affiliate partnerships: where we hold a partnership with a broker, we may earn a commission on accounts opened through links we publish.

To be precise about the current position: this site is enrolled in the Pocket Option partner programme. The platform links and sign-up buttons on these pages are tracked affiliate links, so a reader who opens an account through one can earn us a commission. We still sell no paid placements and no paid reviews. We disclose the model up front because it is the model we intend to operate, not because a link is already live.

What this does and does not change

A commercial relationship never buys a verdict here. We do not accept payment for a positive review, we do not remove or soften criticism at a partner's request, and we do not rank one broker above another because of a commission rate. Where we cannot verify a claim, we say so and publish a range or nothing at all — including when the missing number would have made a page more persuasive.

We are not Pocket Option and we are not affiliated with its operator. We hold no client funds, we place no trades, and we have no access to any reader's trading account. We have not opened or funded an account with this broker, and we do not present anything on this site as hands-on testing.

What we will not do

• We will not publish a commission-driven claim that a product is safe, approved or regulated when the public record does not support it.
• We will not tell a reader how to get around a geographic, banking or identity restriction, whatever the commercial incentive.
• We will not sell or host promo codes, signal subscriptions, bots or "VIP" groups, and we take no payment from anyone who does.

Regulatory and risk context

Pocket Option is an offshore operator with no SEBI registration. An Indian reader who trades with it does so outside India's investor-protection framework and remains personally responsible for FEMA compliance and for reporting income and gains. Fixed-time and digital options are high-risk products and most retail accounts lose money.
