How this school is funded
The lessons cost nothing, so something else pays for them. This page explains exactly what that is, because you cannot judge advice without knowing who benefits from it.

Broker referral fees, and nothing else
Mark takes part in referral and affiliate programmes operated by third-party brokerage firms. If you decide to open an account with one of those firms and you do so through a referral link he gives you, the firm may pay him a one-off or ongoing fee.
That fee is paid by the broker out of its own revenue. It does not add anything to your costs, does not change the spread or commission you are charged, and does not give Mark any access to or control over your account.
This is a conflict of interest
Someone who is paid when you open a brokerage account has a financial reason to make trading sound attractive. That applies to Mark and it applies to every free trading course you will find. Read what he says about brokers with that in mind, and treat the absence of a fee as no guarantee of impartiality either.
What the arrangement does not change
You keep everything, either way
- All six sessions are free whether or not you ever use a referral link.
- The program runs on a demo account, including one you choose yourself.
- Saying "I am not interested in broker referrals" ends the topic. The lessons continue unchanged.
- No session content is withheld, shortened or reordered based on this.
What a mention is not
- Not a recommendation or an endorsement of any broker.
- Not a statement that a firm is suitable, safe or right for you.
- Not a review, a ranking or a comparison. No broker is presented as best.
- Not advice to open an account, to fund one, or to trade with real money.
Check these yourself, not with us
-
01
Confirm the firm is authorised where you live
Look the company up directly on your national regulator's public register, not on a page the firm links to. If it is not authorised to serve residents of your country, stop there.
-
02
Read the actual costs
Spreads, commissions, overnight financing, inactivity fees, withdrawal fees and currency conversion. These are published; add them up for the way you would realistically trade.
-
03
Read the loss statistic the firm is required to publish
In several jurisdictions, brokers offering leveraged products must state the percentage of retail accounts that lose money with them. Find that number and take it seriously.
-
04
Compare at least three firms
Including ones nobody has referred you to. If comparing them yourself feels like too much work, that is useful information about whether you should be trading at all.
Other commercial relationships
So that the picture is complete:
- No payment is taken from students, in any form, at any stage.
- No sponsored content, paid reviews or advertising slots are sold on this website.
- No student data is sold, rented or passed to brokers or lead buyers. See the privacy policy.
- Mark does not receive any share of a student's trading profits or losses, and has no arrangement of that kind with anyone.
If this page ever stops matching reality, it gets rewritten before the next session is taught. Questions about it can go to mark-trd-school@gmail.com.

You have the conflict of interest in writing. The risk disclosure is the other half of the picture.
