How we are funded
Strikepoint Editorial is an independent publisher and is not affiliated with IQ Option; some links may earn us a commission. Trading carries a risk of loss.
This page says plainly how a site like this one is paid for, and what that does — and does not — do to what it publishes.
Where the money comes from today
No partner programme is active on this site. Strikepoint Editorial is not enrolled in an affiliate programme for IQ Option or for any other platform, holds no affiliate identifier and earns nothing when anyone follows a link from these pages. The single outbound link to the operator on this site is editorial: it points at the operator's own public pages because that is where the current answer lives, and it carries no tracking of ours.
We spell that out because the truthful answer today is "nothing", and because leaving a vague disclosure in place — one that implies commissions we are not earning — would be its own small dishonesty.
That may change
This is an affiliate-model site by design. If a partner arrangement is put in place, some links to the operator would become commercial: following one could earn Strikepoint Editorial a commission, at no additional cost to the reader and with no change to the price or terms they are offered. If it happens, it will be disclosed rather than quietly switched on — this page will be updated to say so, and commercial links are marked in the page markup as sponsored, so browsers, screen readers and search engines can see the relationship as clearly as you can.
The safe assumption for a reader is that any outbound link here may become commercial later. That is why the short disclosure line sits in the footer of every page rather than only on this one.
What a commission would not buy
Funding does not decide what the guides say. Concretely:
- no partner would have the right to review, approve or veto a page before publication;
- a commission would never buy a claim we could not otherwise support, and a page is not made more flattering because it earns;
- the things this site refuses to publish — country legality, availability lists, payout or loss figures, rankings of other platforms — stay unpublished whether or not their absence is commercially convenient;
- we do not sell guest posts, sponsored articles, reviews or link placements, in any language edition of this site.
The real check on that is the method rather than a promise. This site publishes what is on the public record and marks the rest as unverified, which leaves very little room for a commercial motive to move the text without the move being obvious.
Who publishes this
Strikepoint Editorial is an independent editorial desk, with editorial responsibility held by Perrin Halbrook, Options Products Editor. We are not IQ Option, are not affiliated with it, are not operated by it and do not speak for it. Nothing on this site is an official communication from the operator, and nothing here should be read as the operator's own description of its products.
Risk, and what this site is not
Trading carries a risk of loss. Nothing on this site is investment advice, a recommendation to open an account, or a suggestion that any instrument or platform is suitable for you. These pages explain what a contract is and what a label means; the decision, and the risk, stay with the reader.
