Partnership analysis
Key Advantages	Extensive Asset OfferingPartners can market over 8,000 tradable instruments, including Forex, stocks, ETFs, and crypto CFDs, appealing to a broad demographic of traders. Flexible Compensation ModelsThe program supports Revenue Share (up to 50%), CPA, and Hybrid models, allowing IBs to tailor their earning structure to their traffic type. Multi-Level Sub-IB SupportAdmirals offers a multi-level partnership structure, enabling IBs to build sub-affiliate networks for compounded revenue generation.	Extensive Market AccessPartners can promote over 12,000 tradable instruments across multiple asset classes, including forex, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Flexible Remuneration ModelsThe partner program offers competitive CPA payouts starting from $300, alongside tailored, multi-tier rebate structures for Introducing Brokers. Advanced Platform EcosystemClients benefit from the proprietary Next Generation platform, MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and TradingView integration, catering to diverse trading preferences.
Considerations	Strict CPA Requirements In EuropeCPA models for EU and UK traffic are restricted exclusively to licensed partners, limiting options for standard affiliates in these regions. Low Maximum LeverageThe maximum leverage is capped at 1:30, which may deter high-risk traders seeking higher margin capabilities. Specific Regional RestrictionsThe broker explicitly restricts its services to residents of Belgium and the Czech Republic, narrowing the addressable market in Europe.	Variable CPA ThresholdsWhile CPA payouts start at $300, specific qualification criteria and trading thresholds must be met before commissions are released. Complex Account StructuresThe distinction between standard CFD accounts and FX Active accounts may require partners to provide additional guidance to their referrals. Institutional FocusSome of the more advanced liquidity and API solutions are tailored specifically for institutional clients rather than standard retail IBs.
