Trading tools and services referral programs
This category collects referral programs from services built for active traders rather than brokers themselves: proprietary trading (prop firm) evaluations, VPS hosting for trading platforms and automated strategies, trading journals and analytics software, and trading education or signal communities.
How referral bonuses usually work here. Most of these services are subscription- or fee-based, so a referral bonus typically takes the form of a discount on the first payment, a percentage off a plan or evaluation fee, a free trial period, or a promo code applied at checkout. Some programs give nothing extra to the new user and only reward the referrer. Each program page states exactly what you get through our link, taken from the partner's own terms.
What to check before signing up:
- Recurring costs. Check whether the price is monthly, annual or one-off, and whether a discount applies only to the first period.
- Refund and cancellation rules. Evaluation fees and subscriptions are often non-refundable once used.
- Rules and restrictions. Prop firms publish trading rules, drawdown limits and payout conditions; read them in full before paying.
- Platform compatibility. Make sure a VPS or journal supports the platform and broker you actually use.
- Region and identity checks. Some services are not available in every country or require identity verification before payouts.
Trading carries a high risk of losing money. None of these tools guarantees profits, and nothing on this site is financial advice.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of services are in the trading category?
Services used by traders alongside their broker: prop firm evaluations, trading VPS hosting, trading journals and analytics, and trading education or signal subscriptions. Brokers and exchanges are not the focus of this category.
How do referral bonuses work for trading tools?
Usually as a discount on the first payment, a percentage off a plan or evaluation, a free trial or a promo code at checkout. The exact bonus, if any, is listed on each program page.
Is a prop firm evaluation fee refundable?
It depends on the firm. Many evaluation fees are non-refundable once the challenge has started, and some firms refund the fee only after a funded account's first payout. Read the firm's own terms before paying.
Do I need a VPS for trading?
A VPS is mainly useful for running automated strategies or expert advisors around the clock with low latency to the broker's server. Manual traders often do not need one.
Can these tools guarantee profits?
No. Trading involves a high risk of loss, and no software, signal service or funded account program guarantees profits.
