Chart Ding Get in touch
Affiliate program

Get paid for the traders who
find us through you.

Chart Ding is a trade analysis and journaling dashboard, a market calendar, and a candle-close alarm — one subscription, not three. If you stream, record or teach, this program pays you for the traders who arrive because of you. Every term is on this page, including the ones most programs leave you to find out later.

Tracking and payouts are run on PromoteKit, which reads our Stripe directly — so what you are owed is counted by the payment system itself, not by us.

How this works

You do not have to make a video — but you certainly can.

Use the product, share your link, and you are paid for whoever signs up through it. That is the whole requirement. The clock works by sitting on the screen you are already sharing, and the dashboard is the thing people ask about once they see it — so a mention, when it comes, often comes on its own.

If you do make something about it, it will almost certainly do better. Showing the thing working beats a link in a description, every time.

If you do make something about it, the numbers are worth knowing. A year of Pro Plus is $240, and 30% of that is not a rounding error.

What 30% actually is

Thirty percent of a real subscription, per subscriber, for a full year.

Commission runs for 12 months from each customer’s first payment, on the full amount charged. Here is that arithmetic on the yearly plans, per customer.

Premium

$36 a year

$10.80

per subscriber, first year

Pro

$60 a year

$18.00

per subscriber, first year

Pro Plus

$240 a year

$72.00

per subscriber, first year

Those are the published prices multiplied by 30%, per subscriber. What it comes to overall depends on how many there are, and that part is yours — we would not pretend to predict it.

What you get

Three things.

01 PRODUCT USE

Pro Plus, free. No strings.

The whole product, yours, whether or not you ever mention it to anyone. Nobody should be promoting a trading tool they do not actually use — we would rather you decided after using it.

02 AUDIENCE BENEFIT

A discount code for your audience.

Your own code, scoped to a plan we agree on, so what you offer is a real saving and not a token one.

03 EARNINGS

30% of what they pay, for a year.

On every paid plan, calculated on the full amount charged before processing fees come out. The whole table is below.

Why there is a 30-day return window

Chart Ding offers refunds, and a refunded sale is not a sale. Waiting out the return window means commission is not paid on money that goes back to the customer — the alternative being to pay you and then ask for it back. Every program does this; not every program says why. The window is longer than our refund policy’s 14 days on yearly plans on purpose: it also covers the occasional refund we agree to later, case by case.

Why there is a program end date

A video can keep sending people here for years. Rather than carry an accounting obligation with no horizon on it, the program has a stated end date. Active affiliates will be given notice well ahead of it.

How referrals are tracked

You get your own link, and a dashboard to watch it.

A 60-day attribution window. Someone can click your link, leave, and sign up seven weeks later and still count for you.
It survives a closed browser. The referral is saved in the browser your link was opened in, not held only in a cookie — and when someone signs up in that same browser, it is carried onto their account.
First attribution wins, permanently. Once an account is attributed to you, no later link can take it. Affiliates cannot poach each other’s existing customers, and that protection runs in both directions.

Getting paid

PayPal, unless we agree otherwise.

Before the first payment we will need two things.

A W-9 if you are a US person, or a W-8BEN if you are not. Requested through a third-party tax service — the form goes to them rather than to us, so your tax ID is not held in our systems.
A payment address. A PayPal address is enough.

If we pay you $600 or more in a calendar year and you are a US person, you will receive a 1099-NEC in January, filed through that same service.

What we ask of you

Four things, stated rather than assumed.

Which of these apply depends on how you work, and some may never be relevant to you at all.

Say that it is an affiliate link. The FTC requires it, and your audience deserves it. One clear line in the description or on screen is enough.
Describe the product accurately. Chart Ding analyses trades you import, tracks market dates, and sounds alarms at candle closes. It does not predict markets, generate signals or place trades, so please do not present it as though it does.
Please do not buy ads on our name. If someone types “Chart Ding” into a search engine, they were already on their way here — a paid ad on that search puts your link in front of them and earns commission on a customer who would have arrived anyway. Ads on your own channel, your content, or trading topics in general are completely fine.
Please keep the link out of mass email and comment spam. Beyond not working, it gets the domain flagged by spam filters — and that same domain sends customers their receipts and renewal notices, so it breaks something people are relying on.

If something here ever becomes an issue we will bring it up with you first. Commission already earned on genuine referrals is not taken back over a disagreement.

The rest of it

Refunds and chargebacks

The 30-day return window covers refunds, which is what it is there for. It is not real protection against a chargeback: a cardholder can dispute a payment up to 120 days after making it, and in some situations longer. If one lands after commission has already been paid, it comes off your next payment rather than being invoiced back to you — and where there is no next payment, small amounts are written off rather than pursued.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the change applies going forward, not retroactively. Commission already earned is earned at the rate that applied when the referral was made. Active affiliates will be told directly rather than being expected to notice an updated page.

There is no sign-up form.

Each affiliate relationship is agreed case by case — we are looking for genuinely good fits, where Chart Ding suits your audience and the arrangement makes sense on both sides. A real person reads every message.

Tell us where you would be sharing it and what you have in mind. There is no wrong answer and nothing is decided by a form.

This is where our reply goes.
