How we earn
Namefold Research 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 explains, without euphemism, how a site like this one is paid for and what that does — and does not — do to what it publishes.
The current position
No partner programme is active on this site today. Namefold Research is not enrolled in an affiliate programme for IQ Option or for any other platform, holds no affiliate identifier, and earns nothing when you follow a link from these pages. Every outbound link here is editorial: it points at the operator's own public pages because that is where the answer is, and it carries no tracking of ours.
We say this plainly because the honest answer today is "nothing", and because the alternative — leaving a generic disclosure in place that implies commissions we are not earning — is 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 Namefold Research a commission, at no additional cost to you and with no change to the price or terms you are offered. If that 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 that browsers, screen readers and search engines can see the relationship as clearly as you can.
Treat every outbound link on this site as potentially commercial in future. That is the safest assumption for a reader, and it is why the disclosure line appears in the footer of every page rather than only here.
What funding does not buy
Commercial arrangements do not decide what the guides say. Concretely, that means:
- no partner has the right to review, approve or veto a page before it is published;
- a commission would never buy a claim we could not otherwise support, and a page is not rewritten to be more flattering because it earns;
- facts that cannot be verified against the operator's own published material are left out, whether or not their absence is commercially convenient;
- we do not sell guest posts, sponsored articles, reviews or link placements.
The check on all of that is the method rather than a promise: this site publishes what the operator states about itself and marks the rest as unverified, so there is very little room for a commercial motive to change the text without the change being obvious.
Who publishes this
Namefold Research is an independent editorial desk with editorial responsibility held by Corin Ashgrove, Brand Identity and Naming Editor. We are not IQ Option, are not affiliated with it, are not operated by it and do not speak for it. "IQ Broker" is a user alias for that platform, not a company, and nothing on this site is an official communication from the operator.
Risk, and what this site is not
Trading carries a risk of loss, and losses can exceed what a reader expects. Nothing on this site is investment advice, a recommendation to open an account or a suggestion that any platform is suitable for you. We publish naming and access guides; the decision, and the risk, remain yours.
