TREND FRIEND AFFILIATE PROGRAM

Earn 20% Lifetime Commissions
Promoting Trading Indicators
Traders Actually Keep Using

Most trading indicator affiliate programs watch their commissions disappear when subscribers churn after one month. Trend Friend subscribers stick around because trader-built tools actually work in live markets. That means recurring revenue for you, not one-time payouts that vanish.

The Problem With Most Trading
Indicator Affiliate Programs

Here's what usually happens when you promote a trading indicator suite to your community:
→
Your follower signs up. You earn a commission. They open TradingView, load up the indicators, and immediately face 15-30 tools they don't know how to use. Their charts look like a Christmas tree.
→
They feel overwhelmed, can't figure out which signals to trust, and when they reach out for help, they get a canned response from someone who's never placed a trade.
→
A month later, they cancel. Your recurring commission? Gone.
→
Worse, they associate that bad experience with YOUR recommendation. You sent them there. Now they trust you a little less.
⚠
This isn't a failure of any one product. It's a structural problem with how mass-market indicator suites are built. They scale by adding more indicators, not by making each one better. They handle support with templates, not traders. And their developers build what looks impressive in marketing screenshots, not what actually performs in live markets.
⚠
When the product is designed to acquire subscribers rather than retain them, your commissions reflect that.

There’s a different kind of indicator suite and a different kind of affiliate income that comes with that type of product. At Trend Friend, our goal is to attract subscribers and RETAIN them with excellent tools that actually perform in live markets.

Why Trader-Built Indicators Mean
Better Commissions for You

Trend Friend is trader-built. That's not a marketing phrase. It's how the business works.

Every indicator in the suite is designed, coded, and traded with daily by Lane Dotson, a professional day trader who's been in the markets since 2013 and publishes free indicators under the FriendOfTheTrend profile on TradingView. There are no committee-designed tools, no bloated feature lists to justify a subscription price, and no distance between the person who builds the tools and the person who uses them.

What does this mean for you as an affiliate?

🔄
Traders keep their subscriptions.
When indicators are focused, charts stay clean, and the tools actually help traders make decisions in live markets, people don't cancel after one month. They renew. And every renewal pays you 20% automatically, for the lifetime of that subscriber's account.
🛡
Your reputation stays intact.
You're recommending something that was built by a real trader for real trading conditions, not a software company's attempt to capture market share with indicator bloat. When your followers have a good experience, that reflects back on you.
💬
Support is real.
Your referrals get direct access to the developer who built the tools. Not a ticketing system. Not a chatbot. A trader who can actually help them use the indicators in their own setups.

You’re promoting “Clean Charts, Clear Direction” not another cluttered dashboard your community has to figure out on their own.

Trading Indicator Affiliate
Commission Structure

Every product in the Trend Friend catalog earns you 20% per sale. Here’s what that looks like across our subscription tiers:

Suite2-WeekMonthlyQuarterlyAnnual
Premium Indicator Suite $5.00 $8.00 $23.00 $90.00
Order Flow Pro Suite $20.00 $34.00 $96.00 $370.00
🔄
Every Sale. Every Renewal.
For the Lifetime of Every Subscriber.
These aren't one-time payouts. Every amount in the table above is what you earn on the initial purchase AND on every single renewal after that automatically, for as long as that subscriber stays active. One referral can pay you the same commission month after month, quarter after quarter, year after year.
Example · Premium Annual
$90/yr
per subscriber · every renewal
10 annual subscribers = $900/yr
passive recurring income from one set of recommendations
Commissions shown are per subscriber, per billing cycle. For comparison, most trading indicator affiliate programs offer 30-day cookie windows and one-time payouts. Trend Friend offers 90-day cookies and lifetime recurring commissions on every renewal so your earnings compound instead of reset.

Hit 20 Active Referrals →
Get Free Access to the Full Suite

The best affiliates are the ones who trade with the tools they promote. When you refer 20 or more active subscribers to our Premium Indicator Suite, we give you complimentary access to the entire suite on your personal TradingView account.

This means you can demo the indicators live on stream, show your community exactly how you use them in your own trading, and speak from genuine experience, not marketing copy.

The 20-subscriber threshold is based on active subscriptions. As long as 20 of your referrals maintain their subscriptions, your free access stays active.

This Program Is Built for a
Specific Kind of Promoter

This is for you if:
✓You run a trading community, Discord, Telegram group, or social media following of active traders
✓You create trading content on YouTube, TradingView, Twitter/X, or other platforms
✓You're a trading educator or mentor who recommends tools to your students
✓You're already a Trend Friend subscriber and your community keeps asking what indicators you use
✓You care about what you recommend and you only promote tools that you believe actually help traders
This probably isn't for you if:
✕You're looking for a quick one-time payout and don't care whether subscribers stick around
✕You'd promote any indicator suite regardless of quality as long as the commission is high enough
✕You plan to use spam, misleading claims, or fake testimonials to drive sign-ups
✕You want to create multiple accounts to earn commissions on your own purchases

We’d rather have 20 affiliates who genuinely believe in the tools than 200 who are just chasing commissions. The math works out better for everyone, including you, when the people you refer actually stay.

FAQ

Frequently Asked
Questions

Do I need to be a Trend Friend subscriber to become an affiliate?+
No, you can apply to the affiliate program without being a subscriber. That said, the most effective affiliates are the ones who use the tools themselves. When you can speak from personal experience, your recommendations carry significantly more weight.
How do I know if someone I referred made a purchase?+
Your affiliate dashboard shows real-time data on clicks, referrals, active subscribers, and earned commissions. You'll see exactly who converted and when.
What happens to my commissions if a subscriber cancels and resubscribes later?+
If a subscriber you referred cancels and later resubscribes, you continue to earn commissions on their future purchases as long as they're still attributed to your referral link within the 90-day cookie window from their original visit.
Can I promote Trend Friend on any platform?+
Yes. YouTube, TradingView, Twitter/X, Discord, Telegram, your website, email list, or any platform where you have an audience of traders. We provide marketing materials you can adapt to any channel.
How long does the application review take?+
We review applications as quickly as possible, typically within a few business days. You'll be notified by email once your application is approved.
Is there a limit to how much I can earn?+
No cap on commissions. The more active subscribers you refer, the more you earn and commissions are recurring on every renewal for the lifetime of each subscriber's account.
What if I have questions about how to promote the indicators?+
Email us at contact@friendofthetrend.com. We're happy to help you understand the products, suggest positioning for your specific audience, and answer any questions about the tools themselves.
What makes Trend Friend's affiliate program different from other programs?+
Three things: lifetime recurring commissions (most programs offer one-time payouts), a 90-day cookie window (most offer 30 days), and a product with high subscriber retention because the indicators are built and used daily by a professional trader. High retention means your referrals keep paying and you keep earning.
How much can I earn as a trading indicator affiliate?+
You earn 20% on every sale and renewal. One referral on a Premium Indicator Suite annual plan pays $90/year with zero additional effort. Ten annual subscribers means $900/year in passive recurring income. Order Flow Pro Suite referrals pay even more, up to $370 per annual subscriber.
