Read this before you trade, or refer anyone who will.
This is the page we would want to read if we were on your side of the table. It says what trading can cost you, what our numbers do and don't mean, and exactly how we get paid — including the part where our incentive and your client's outcome are not the same thing.
Last updated 25 July 2026
1. We are an introducer, not a broker
GrowthLab FX is an introducing broker. We introduce traders to a broker and support the partners who make those introductions. We do not hold your money, do not execute trades, do not run a trading platform, and do not decide prices or fills. Your trading account is opened with the broker, held by the broker, and governed by the broker's terms.
We also do not give financial advice. Nothing on this site, in our messages, on a call, or in any material we hand a partner is a personal recommendation. It takes no account of your circumstances, your income, your dependants or your ability to absorb a loss.
2. Trading carries a substantial risk of losing your capital
Forex and CFDs are speculative, high-risk products. You can lose money quickly, you can lose the entire balance of your account, and losses are the normal outcome for a large share of retail traders. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.
Only trade with money you can genuinely afford to lose in full — money that, if it vanished this month, would not change how you live. Never borrow to trade, and never fund an account with money you need for rent, school fees, debt or an emergency.
3. Leverage amplifies losses, not just gains
Leverage lets you control a position far larger than your deposit. That works in both directions: a small move against you is a large move against your account. A position that gains 2% of its notional value when the market goes your way loses the same 2% when it doesn't — and against a small margin deposit, that can be a double-digit percentage of your balance.
When your margin runs out, the broker can close your positions automatically, at whatever the market is at that moment, without asking you. Gaps, weekend moves and thin liquidity mean the price you get can be worse than the level you set. Losses can arrive faster than you can react to them.
4. Our figures are illustrations, not forecasts
The growth forecaster on the home page is a calculator with fixed assumptions baked into it — not a projection of what you will earn. It takes the number of clients you type in and multiplies it by six months, an assumed 50% of them becoming active, an assumed two lots traded per active client per month, and the rebate rate you slide to.
Those assumptions are illustrative round numbers chosen to show how the model works. They are not measurements of your audience, of our partners' average results, or of anything else. Change any one of them — fewer clients fund, they trade less, they stop after two months — and the output changes completely. Treat the number it shows as a demonstration of arithmetic, not as an expectation.
The same applies to every other figure on this site. Rebate rates quoted as “up to” a level are a ceiling, not a standard rate. Statistics about the partner base describe the past and say nothing about your future. Past or illustrative performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
5. Partner earnings vary and are not guaranteed
There is no minimum, no salary, no floor and no promise. What a partner earns depends on how many people they introduce, how many of those actually open and fund an account, whether those clients ever trade, how much volume they trade, how long they keep going, and the rate agreed for that partner.
In practice a meaningful share of referred clients never fund an account, and a further share fund it and barely trade. Clients also stop — that is normal, not a failure. Rebate income is variable by nature, can fall from one month to the next, and can be zero. Do not plan around it as if it were a wage, and do not present it that way to anyone else.
6. Material conflict of interest
GrowthLab FX is paid a rebate for every lot traded by the clients introduced by us and by our partners. That payment is calculated on trading volume. It is not calculated on whether the client made money.
We earn the same on a lot that profits a client as on a lot that loses them money. If a client trades more, we are paid more, regardless of the outcome for them. That is a structural incentive that points in a different direction from a client's interest, and it exists whatever our intentions are. We would rather write it down than let you discover it.
Because of that, understand the following:
- Nothing on this site should be read as encouragement to trade more often, in larger size, or at all.
- We do not sell signals, do not run managed or copy accounts, and do not tell anyone what to trade. We are not in a position to, and it would make the conflict worse.
- Partners should not push clients to trade in order to lift their own rebate. It is a breach of our terms, and it is the fastest way to lose the audience that made you worth partnering with.
- Partners earn from their referred clients' trading activity too. If you are a partner, tell your audience that — in plain words, where they can see it.
The rebate is paid out of the broker's own economics rather than billed to your clients as a separate fee. It is still money that exists because they traded.
7. Regulatory status
GrowthLab FX operates as an introducer to a broker. We are not presenting ourselves as a licensed financial services provider, and you should not assume any regulatory protection applies to your dealings with us.
GrowthLab FX is a consulting and introducing business — not a licensed or regulated financial services provider. It holds no financial-services licence, gives no financial advice, and earns a per-lot rebate from the broker on the trading activity of clients it introduces.
We currently introduce clients to Octa. Which legal entity your account is opened with, and which regulator (if any) oversees it, depends on the country you register from. Check the broker's own regulatory disclosures and confirm the entity on your account agreement before you deposit anything. Do not rely on us for that — verify it at the source.
8. Availability and your own law
Leveraged trading products are restricted or prohibited in some countries, and the broker does not accept clients everywhere. It is your responsibility to check whether you may lawfully open an account where you live, and — if you are a partner — whether you may lawfully promote one. Nothing on this site is an offer where such an offer would be unlawful.
9. Partner stories
The stories on our testimonials page are about the service and support a partner received, shared with their permission. They are individual experiences, they are not representative, and they are not income claims. We do not publish earnings screenshots.
10. Questions
If anything here is unclear, ask before you act — message us on WhatsApp or email support@growthlabfx.com. We would much rather answer a question than have you find out the hard way.
