How much you can earn
Your earnings depend on how many people you refer and which plan they choose. Each referred customer earns you commission for 12 months, so steady referrals add up.
From one customer
| Plan | Monthly price | You earn each month | First 12 months | Annual plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $79/mo | $15.80 | $180 | $152 |
| Growth | $299/mo | $59.80 | $682 | $574 |
| Alpha | $1,499/mo | $299.80 | $3,418 | $2,878 |
If you refer this many new customers every month
| New customers each month | Monthly earnings by month 12 | Earned in your first year |
|---|---|---|
| 5 Basic customers | $901 | $5,641 |
| 3 Growth customers | $2,045 | $12,809 |
| 1 Alpha customer | $3,418 | $21,406 |
Examples use monthly plan prices, include the 3 discounted months, and assume each customer stays at least 12 months. They are illustrations, not a promise of earnings. The annual plan column is a single commission, payable 45 days after the customer pays.
How it works
Step 1
Apply
Tell us where you publish and who your audience is. We review every application and reply within a few business days.
Step 2
Share your link
You get a personal referral link. Use it in videos, posts, newsletters, Discord servers or your own tools. We send a share kit with each research release.
Step 3
Get paid every month
When someone subscribes through your link, you earn 20% of each payment they make for 12 months. Track clicks, signups and earnings in your dashboard.
What you get
The same terms for creators, partners and customers.
20% recurring commission
On every payment from a referred customer for their first 12 months, including upgrades. Monthly and annual plans both count.
20% off for your audience
People who sign up through your link get 20% off their first 3 months on a monthly plan. The discount applies at checkout automatically.
Cash or account credit
Affiliates are paid by PayPal or Wise. FlashAlpha customers can choose account credit worth 1.5 times the commission instead.
60-day tracking
A referral counts if the customer subscribes within 60 days of clicking your link. The last referral link they clicked gets the credit.
Share kits
Ready-to-post summaries and charts from each research release, with your link already in place.
An affiliate channel on Discord
Affiliates get early access to new research and a direct line to the team in the FlashAlpha Discord.
Who the program is for
Educators and creators
You teach options, volatility or quant trading on YouTube, X, a newsletter or a course, and you already use dealer positioning or volatility data in your work.
Customers
You use FlashAlpha and know traders or teams who would too. Take your reward as account credit to lower your own bill.
Builders and communities
You build bots, dashboards or MCP tools on the FlashAlpha API, or you run a trading community whose members need options analytics.

Program rules
A short version. The full affiliate terms are sent with your approval.
- Disclose that you earn a commission whenever you share your link.
- No promised returns, profit claims or P&L screenshots attributed to FlashAlpha. FlashAlpha provides data and analytics, not investment advice.
- No paid search ads on "FlashAlpha" or similar terms, no coupon or deal sites, and no incentivised signups.
- No self-referrals. Customers who paid FlashAlpha in the 90 days before clicking your link do not count.
- Screenshots of the site and your own analysis are fine. Republishing FlashAlpha data feeds is not.
- Commercial plans (Professional, Streaming and Enterprise) are sold directly and are not part of the program.
Common questions
Does FlashAlpha have an affiliate program?
Yes. Affiliates earn 20% of what each referred customer pays for their first 12 months, on the Basic, Growth and Alpha plans. The referred customer gets 20% off their first 3 months on a monthly plan. Joining is free and applications are reviewed.
How much can I earn?
A Growth customer on a monthly plan earns you $59.80 a month, or about $682 over their first 12 months. An Alpha customer earns you about $3,418. If you refer 3 new Growth customers every month, you earn about $2,045 a month by month 12 and about $12,809 in your first year, assuming each customer stays at least 12 months.
When do I get paid?

Do annual plans count?
Yes. You earn 20% of the annual payment, payable 45 days after it is paid, like any other payment.
Do I need to be a customer to apply?
No. Creators and partners can apply without a paid plan. We may give approved creators access to the plan they promote so they can show it accurately.
