What is an IB link and why do I have to use it?
An IB (Introducing Broker) link is a unique referral link assigned by a broker to track which clients were introduced by a specific IB. When you sign up using an IB link, your account is properly registered under the IB, ensuring compliance with the broker’s policies and regulatory requirements.
Why do I have to use a specific link?
-
Regulatory & Compliance Requirements – Brokers use IB links to ensure that accounts are correctly categorized and compliant with their internal policies and regulatory obligations.
-
Optimized Trading Conditions – Signing up through the correct IB link helps the broker adjust liquidity providers and execution settings to better support the trading style of clients associated with that IB.
-
Account Tracking & Support – The IB link ensures that your account is properly linked to the right trading community, allowing for smoother support and potential access to customized conditions.
By registering with the provided IB link, you help ensure that your account is set up correctly and that the broker can provide the best possible trading environment for your needs.
