How it works

Affiliate tracking

Five events, four of which happen at the broker. The one that matters most is the fourth, and it is the difference between reporting conversions and computing a revenue share yourself.

  • affiliate tracking forex
  • cookieless affiliate tracking
  • S2S postback

The five events

  1. Step 1 of 5. Click

    An edge worker on our own domain stamps a click identifier, writes a first-party cookie and a server-side row in the same request, and carries your five sub-IDs with it. Nothing downstream depends on the cookie.

  2. Step 2 of 5. Registration

    A server to server postback from the broker, matched on the click identifier. From this point the trader is locked to you permanently.

  3. Step 3 of 5. Verification and first deposit

    A postback carrying the amount, the method and the country. This is what starts the qualification clock on a CPA arrangement.

  4. Step 4 of 5. Every closed trade

    Symbol, volume, duration and spread, captured per trade and per broker, through the platform bridge. This is the event an affiliate platform does not have.

  5. Step 5 of 5. Payout

    The week locks, the payout file is produced, and the ledger entry is immutable from then on.

The four things that make it hold up

Server side first

The identifier is written to our own database in the same request that redirects you, and travels forward in the URL. Browsers block third-party cookies and shorten script-set ones, and forex traffic clicks on one device and funds on another. None of that touches an identifier that never depended on the browser.

Idempotency on every postback

Brokers retry and networks duplicate. Every request carries an idempotency key, and a replay is a no-op that returns the original result rather than a second accrual nobody notices until reconciliation.

Deterministic cross-device matching

Hashed email and phone captured at registration, matched against the click record. Not probabilistic fingerprinting, which is imprecise and difficult to justify under European data protection law.

Per-broker ledgers

Every trade row carries which broker it closed on, from the first day. A variance you cannot attribute to one broker's general ledger is a variance you will never resolve.

Filters flag, they never silently void

Qualified-lot rules exist and they are reasonable: a position held below a minimum duration, or opened while the spread was abnormal, is not the same as ordinary trading. What is not reasonable is removing those trades from a partner's statement without saying so.

Here a filter flags the trade with the rule that fired, and you see both. Every accrual also carries the rule version it was computed under, so a change to your terms never rewrites what has already been paid. Read the technical guide.

What is stored, and for how long

Click log retention
24 months
Audit log retention
7 years

The click identifier is pseudonymous until registration: it identifies a click, not a person. Addresses are stored hashed, and the raw form is kept only for as long as fraud and abuse investigation needs it before being truncated in place.

Server-side attribution that exists to perform the partner contract is a different processing activity from the marketing pixels on a site, and it does not sit behind the same consent gate. The marketing pixels do.

Questions

Does any of this depend on cookies?

No. A first-party cookie is written because it is useful when a reader returns without a link, but the attribution runs on a server-side record and a click identifier carried in the URL, so nothing breaks when a browser blocks or shortens the cookie.

How long does attribution last?

Once a trader is matched to a partner at registration, the attribution is permanent and the revenue share continues for as long as that trader keeps trading. The window from the click to the registration is a separate figure that we have not published yet.

How many sub-IDs can I pass?

Five, and they travel with the click and come back on every postback, including on individual trades. That is what makes it possible to see which campaign produced traders who actually trade rather than only which campaign produced signups.

Can I get the events in my own tracker?

Yes. Outbound postbacks carry your macros to RedTrack, Voluum, Binom, the GA4 Measurement Protocol, Meta CAPI or a generic webhook.
