ONYX runs an affiliate program: you get a unique referral code, your audience uses it for a discount at checkout, and you earn commission on every qualifying evaluation purchased with your code. This applies firm-wide, across both the standard tracks and Express to Live.
Program facts
Commission rate | 30% on every qualifying purchase made with your code. This is the displayed launch rate; the exact rate and discount tied to your specific code are confirmed when your application is approved and are managed in your affiliate dashboard, which is the authoritative source. |
What commission is paid on | Any evaluation purchased with your code, on either product family (Sapphire / Flex / Gold standard tracks, or Express to Live Ruby-X / Platinum-X). Commission is taken on the DISCOUNTED price the buyer actually pays, not the base price. |
When a purchase qualifies | Once the buyer's payment clears and the purchase is past the refund window. Refunded or charged-back purchases are reversed from your balance. |
Audience discount | Your code gives your audience up to 50% off their evaluation at checkout. The exact discount for your code is set on approval. One code per customer. |
Referral cap | None. No cap on how many referrals you can earn from, and no tiers to climb. |
Tracking | Real-time in your affiliate portal (clicks, conversions, earnings). Credit requires your code entered at checkout. No code entered means no credit; there is no retroactive attribution for code-less purchases. |
Payout cadence | Monthly. |
Payout method | ACH for US affiliates, Wise for international affiliates. |
Minimum balance | A minimum balance applies before you can request a payout. Earnings below the minimum roll forward to the next period. |
Approval window | Applications are reviewed manually. Decision within 2 to 3 business days. Approved affiliates receive their unique code by email plus access to their tracking portal. |
Eligibility | 18 or older, with an audience or platform to promote ONYX. Review is selective; vague applications are declined. Be specific about your reach and how you will promote. |
Application fee | None. |
Where to apply | On the public affiliate page at onyx-futures.com/affiliate.html. Fill in the application form with your socials and how you plan to promote ONYX. No login is required to apply. After approval, tracking and payouts live in your affiliate portal. |

How it works
1. Apply | Submit the application form on the public affiliate page at onyx-futures.com/affiliate.html with your audience and how you plan to promote. No login required. |
2. Get approved | Manual, selective review. Decision within 2 to 3 business days. Your unique code and portal access arrive by email. |
3. Share your code | Put it in your content, bio, or community. Your audience enters it at checkout for up to 50% off their evaluation. |
4. Get paid | Every qualifying purchase credits your balance. Request a payout once you clear the minimum balance. Paid monthly via ACH (US) or Wise (international). |
How commission is calculated
Base of the calculation | The discounted price the buyer actually pays after applying your code, not the pre-discount evaluation price. |
Rate applied | 30% (displayed launch rate; your dashboard holds the authoritative rate for your code). |
Qualification | Payment must clear and be past the refund window before commission is confirmed. |
Reversals | If a referred purchase is refunded or charged back, that commission is reversed from your balance. |
Evaluation prices | Evaluation prices are not fixed here and can change (including discounts and promotions). For current evaluation pricing see onyx-futures.com. Do not quote a specific evaluation dollar price from this article. |
Affiliate payouts
These are payouts to YOU as an affiliate, separate from trader profit payouts on a funded or live account.
Cadence | Monthly. |
Method | ACH (US affiliates) or Wise (international affiliates). |
Minimum balance | Required before you can request a payout. Balances below it roll forward. |
Reversals | Refunded or charged-back referred purchases are deducted from your balance. |
Taxes
Status | Affiliates are independent contractors. |
US affiliates | Those earning $600 or more per year receive a 1099-NEC. |
Non-US affiliates | Provide a W-8BEN before their first payout. |
Program rules and prohibited conduct
Disclosure (required) | You must clearly disclose the affiliate relationship on all promotional content, for example #ad or "affiliate link". Required by US FTC rules and non-negotiable. |
Prohibited promotion | No bidding on ONYX brand keywords, no fake reviews, no self-referrals, no bots, no spam. |
Prohibited claims | You may not claim ONYX provides guaranteed funding, guaranteed profits, or risk-free trading. |
Enforcement | Violations result in termination and may forfeit unpaid commissions. |
Do not conflate
Affiliate commission vs trader payouts | Affiliate commission (30%, monthly, ACH/Wise, minimum balance) is what a referrer earns for referred purchases. It is NOT a trader profit payout. Trader payouts on standard funded accounts are weekly with up to 100% split; Express to Live live accounts pay daily and keep 85%. Different program entirely. |
Which evaluations earn commission | Commission applies to evaluations across BOTH families. Standard tracks (Sapphire, Flex, Gold) are sized by account balance ($25K to $200K). Express to Live (Ruby-X, Platinum-X) is sized by drawdown / risk budget ($1,000 to $3,000). A referred purchase of either earns affiliate commission. |
Affiliate portal vs trading dashboard | You apply on the public affiliate page (no login). After approval your code, tracking, and affiliate payouts live in your affiliate portal. This is separate from the trading account, evaluation credentials, and trader payout requests. |
Audience discount vs affiliate commission | Up to 50% off is the discount the referred BUYER receives at checkout. 30% commission is what the AFFILIATE earns. Both are calculated from the same purchase; they are not the same number and are not stacked against each other. |
Commission percentage vs profit split percentage | The affiliate 30% commission is unrelated to a trader's funded-account profit split. Do not answer a profit-split question with the affiliate rate. |
