Partners & referrals · For members and creators

Share what you're learning.

Members can get a personal affiliate link through Whop and earn a 30% recurring commission when someone they refer joins. Trading and money educators who teach first can apply for free access to review the academy. Either way, the same honest sharing rules apply.

The referral program is for current members. Not a member yet? See Gold VIP.

Member referral program

How referrals work

You get a personal link through Whop. When someone joins through it, you earn a 30% recurring commission on their membership: a share of each payment for as long as they stay a member. Whop tracks referrals under its affiliate terms, and your affiliate dashboard is the record.

  1. Step 01

    Open Whop affiliates

    Go to whop.com/affiliates and sign in with the Whop account you use for MarksFX Academy.

  2. Step 02

    Become an affiliate

    Choose Become an Affiliate for MarksFX Academy, then open View assets.

  3. Step 03

    Copy your link

    Your personal link is in your assets. It ends in ?a= followed by your Whop username.

  4. Step 04

    Share it honestly

    Talk about what you're learning, not what anyone made, and disclose every time. The sharing rules cover the details.

Your link format

https://whop.com/marksfxacademy/marksfx-gold-vip/?a=YOURUSERNAME

Replace YOURUSERNAME with your own Whop username. The link opens the Gold VIP page, so the people you share it with see exactly what they would be joining.

Not an income plan

The commission is a thank-you for sharing a community you actually use. We don't estimate or promise what anyone earns from referrals, and you should never present the program to anyone as a way to make money.

Members' contest · Oct 8–31, 2026

Halloween referral contest

A contest for current MarksFX Academy members. The three members with the most new paid Gold VIP referrals from October 8 to October 31, 2026 each win a funded trading account and 1-on-1 time with Mark.

  1. Use your link

    New paid Gold VIP members tracked to your Whop affiliate link from Oct 8 count toward the contest. If you don't have your link yet, the steps are above.

  2. Through

    Share and track

    Share with people who want to learn. Leaderboard updates are posted in the community, with handles shown only for members who opt in.

  3. Contest closes

    Referrals after the deadline don't count toward the contest. There are no extensions.

  4. After refund checks

    Winners announced

    Refunds, chargebacks and self-referrals are removed first. Then the top 3 are confirmed and announced to the community.

Top 3 referrers

What the winners get

  • A funded trading account
  • 1-on-1 time with Mark to go through your charts, journal and routine

Each of the top three members wins both.

A funded account is issued by a third-party firm under that firm's own rules. It is not cash, and it comes with no promise of payouts or trading results.

For trading & finance educators

Creator partnerships

If you teach trading, investing or financial literacy on TikTok, YouTube or Instagram, or run your own Discord or Telegram community, and you teach before you sell, we'd like to hear from you. Approved creators get free Gold VIP access to review it first. You recommend it only if you think it's worth it.

Good fit

  • Trading educators who explain charts, process, journaling and risk management
  • Smart Money Concepts, ICT, options and chart-breakdown creators
  • Financial literacy and investing-basics creators who teach without hype
  • Owners of small trading or money communities on Discord or Telegram

Not a fit

Who we pass on

  • Content built on cash, cars or lifestyle flexing
  • Guaranteed-profit or get-rich-quick claims, or unverifiable P&L
  • Selling trades to copy without teaching the reasoning
  • Spam, engagement bait or comment-bombing

What partners get

Review it first

  • Free Gold VIP access to review the course, the live sessions and the community
  • No obligation to post
  • Your own affiliate link with the standard 30% recurring commission

For everyone with a link

Sharing rules

These rules protect the people you share with, the community's name and you. They apply to members and creator partners alike. We spot-check shared content and will ask you to fix or take down anything that breaks them.

Always

Do this every time

  • Disclose, every time. Use #ad or say "I earn a commission if you join through my link." If you got free access, say that too, for example "I was given free access to MarksFX Academy." This applies even when your post has no link. Put it before the link, where people see it without tapping "more".
  • Share your own experience. The morning sessions, the course, your routine, what's clearer now. Only what's true for you.
  • Call it education. Mark shares trade ideas with his reasoning so members can learn. Everyone makes their own decisions.
  • Use accurate facts. $49 a month, cancel anytime. 1,200+ members and a 4.9★ average from 1,619 reviews, with a link to the reviews on Whop.
  • Mention the risk. Trading involves risk and isn't for everyone. Say it's not financial advice.

Never

Don't do this

  • Claim or hint at income, profits, win rates or returns, from trading or from referrals
  • Post profit screenshots, P&L, payout certificates, or cash and lifestyle shots
  • Promise results, or call anything guaranteed or risk-free
  • Tell people to copy Mark's trade ideas instead of learning the reasoning
  • Spam: cold DMs to strangers, comment-bombing other creators' posts, or posting where promotion isn't allowed
  • Invent urgency, like made-up deadlines or "limited spots"
  • Write fake reviews, or speak on behalf of Mark or MarksFX Academy

Disclosures that work

#ad · I earn a commission if you join MarksFX through my link.

Affiliate link: I earn a commission if you join. It's trading education, not financial advice.

#ad · I was given free access to MarksFX Academy and I earn a commission if you join through my link.

In videos, say it out loud and put #ad on screen. A disclosure that only lives in your bio or in a pile of hashtags doesn't count.

Why it matters

In the U.S., the FTC expects you to disclose when you can earn from a recommendation, clearly and where people will notice it. Social platforms have their own branded-content rules on top of that.

Questions

Partner questions

Where do I see my referrals?

In your Whop affiliate dashboard at whop.com/affiliates. It is the record for your referrals and your commission.

What happens if someone I referred cancels?

The commission is recurring, so it follows each payment the member makes. When they cancel, their payments stop, and so does the commission on that membership.

Is the referral program a way to make money?

No. It's a thank-you for sharing a community you find useful. We don't estimate or promise what anyone earns, and you shouldn't present it to anyone as income.

I'm a creator. Do I have to post if I get free access?

No. Access is for reviewing the academy. Recommend it only if you think it's worth it. If you do post, disclose that you got free access, plus your commission if you share your link, every time.

Can I mention the rating and member count in my posts?

Yes, if you state them accurately: 1,200+ members and a 4.9★ average from 1,619 reviews on Whop. Link to the reviews on Whop so people can read them for themselves. Don't write or paraphrase reviews on anyone else's behalf.
