Recruit a network of sub-partners and earn from their referrals — for life.
The Sub-IB program lets community leaders, educators, and existing IBs invite a second tier of partners under their own code. You earn an override on every trader your sub-partners refer. Transparent flow. Weekly settlements.
Override is paid on top of the sub-partner's own commission. No deduction from their earnings.
How the Sub-IB system works in 4 steps
You become an IB
Apply through the standard IB flow. Once approved, you have access to your unique referral code and partner dashboard.
You recruit a sub-IB
A community leader, educator, or content creator joins under your code. They become a Sub-IB with their own referral code, tied to your account in the attribution chain.
Their traders trade
When a trader referred by your sub-partner trades, the broker pays commission to ShaFX. Your sub-partner earns their share. You earn the override.
Weekly settlement
Both you and your sub-partner are paid weekly through the same payout system — USDT, PayPal, or bank transfer. Transparent ledger on your dashboard.

Who is the Sub-IB program for?
Sub-IB exists for builders who already have a community — but want to multiply their reach by enrolling a tier of partners under their structure, instead of single-handedly recruiting every trader.
Community leaders
You run a Telegram channel, Discord, or signal group. You can recruit smaller IBs from inside that audience and earn an override on each of them.
Educators & coaches
You teach forex or trading. Your top students become sub-IBs — you earn on the traders they bring without competing with them.
Existing IBs scaling up
You hit the ceiling of what one person can recruit. Sub-IB lets you build a recruitment org chart instead of grinding alone.
Content creators
You produce content. Partner with smaller channels in your niche, give them your sub-code, and earn on their audience too.
Sub-IB rules and transparency
Allowed
- Recruit unlimited sub-IBs under your code
- Pay your sub-IBs additional commission from your share if you want
- Co-brand campaigns with your sub-IBs
- Move sub-IBs into different funnels you build
- Transparent ledger access on your partner dashboard
Not allowed
- Pyramid-style schemes where sub-IBs pay to enroll
- Promising fixed income to sub-IBs (commission is based on real trading volume only)
- Self-referrals or sub-IB self-funding loops
- Misrepresenting ShaFX as a money manager or fund
- Targeting restricted jurisdictions
ShaFX reserves the right to remove sub-IBs that violate the partner code of conduct. Commission overrides paid in good faith on legitimate volume are not clawed back.
