Become AGEA Affiliate
You can refer customers to AGEA through your web site or by sending them coupons in an e-mail. For each live position a customer you refer closes on our default Streamster trading platform, you will receive a commission in value of 15 points (e.g. one standard 100k position in EUR/USD will earn you $15). You can earn hundreds or even thousands each month by simply referring customers to AGEA. In addition, there is no charge for participation in the program.
Affiliate commission for closed positions on the MetaTrader 4 platform is 100% of the Minimum Spread for the position instrument. Profit or loss on a closed position has to be greater than 40 points in order for that position to be taken into account when calculating affiliate commissions. Please also note that there are contractual restrictions on referring related persons.
