The affiliate level system rewards consistent performance over time. Your level is determined by the total commissions you generate within a calendar month, and commissions from FTMO Challenges and FTMO Futures count together. Updates are applied on the 18th day of the following month.
The core of the system is a three-month period. When you reach a new level, you keep its benefits and commission rates for the next three months. During this period, one of the following can occur based on your performance in any given calendar month:
- Level Up: you advance if you meet the requirements for a higher tier, starting a new three-month period at that level.
- Renew Level: you maintain your level by meeting its requirements again. Renewing Gold or Platinum also grants a free FTMO Challenge.
- Level Down: if you do not meet the criteria to renew or advance within three months, your level adjusts based on your best-performing month.

At Silver level or above you can choose a custom affiliate code, for example your brand name, which traders enter at FTMO Futures checkout instead of your default code. Simply request it from the affiliate team and they will create it for you. Since a new Evaluation account is attributed to whichever code the trader enters at purchase, a memorable code is the most direct way to make sure new accounts land with you.
