How this site earns

NorthLedger is an independent editorial publisher and is not affiliated with Pocket Option. Our funding model is affiliate partnerships, but no partner programme is connected to this site today: there are no referral links here and no click earns us anything. Fixed-time and digital options carry a high risk of losing your capital in full.

Where things stand today: no partner programme is connected

So there is no misunderstanding, the current state of play comes first. No partner programme is connected to NorthLedger. This site carries no sign-up buttons, no referral links, no redirect or tracking links, and no tracked referrals to any provider. There is no affiliate link anywhere on these pages, so nothing you click here earns us a commission, a fee or a share of anything. This paragraph gets rewritten before that changes, not after.

Our business model

Our funding model is affiliate partnerships. Editorial sites in this category are usually paid for by a provider compensating the publisher when a reader arrives through a marked link. That is a common arrangement and it is the one we intend to work under; pretending we write out of pure idealism would be dishonest. What matters for you is the consequence: you should always be able to tell who pays for these pages and where a commercial interest could sit. Right now the honest answer is that no provider pays for them and no commercial link exists to pay us.

If a partner programme is added later, three things will apply. Every commercial link will be labelled as such on the page. It will be marked up technically as a sponsored link. And it will never cost you anything extra.

What a commission would not change

Compensation does not change what these pages say. We would not rate Pocket Option higher because a partnership became possible, and we do not rate it lower because there is not one today. In practice that means we publish no figure we have not found in a documented source, we print no dollar amounts for minimums or balances that the operator does not publish in a checkable form, and we describe deposits, withdrawals, verification and bonuses as what the platform publishes rather than as something we have been through.

It also means we hold the eligibility question open in both directions. Canada is not named in the exclusion notice the operator publishes, so we do not write that it refuses Canadians. Nor do we write that a Canadian resident can open an account, fund it, verify it and withdraw, because absence from a list is not an eligibility guarantee and none of it is published in a form we can confirm.

And we do not soften the regulatory picture to make a page friendlier. Securities registration in Canada is provincial and territorial, with no national commission — the Canadian Securities Administrators is an umbrella over the provincial regulators, and a firm is registered in a province rather than in the country. No Canadian provincial or territorial registration is published for this operator. CSA members prohibit the sale to retail investors of binary options with a term shorter than 30 days. Whether any Canadian regulator has warned about, listed or acted against this brand is something we could not verify, so we assert it in neither direction, and readers should remember that absence from an investor-alerts list proves nothing — registration is the positive check, not the lack of a warning.

No hands-on tests, no invented experience

We have not opened a live account with this broker, have not deposited money and have not traded. Where other sites write “in our test”, we write what the documentation states and what an evaluation framework can support. You will not find a sentence like “we withdrew and it took X hours” here, because we could not evidence one.

What we do not do

We do not sell signals, bots, courses or mentoring, and we recommend nobody who does. We do not broker accounts, we act as nobody’s agent toward any platform, and we have no access to your account. We publish no promo codes. And we help nobody past a geographic or identity restriction — documents that misstate identity or residence are fraud, and we treat them as such rather than as a step to work around.

Risk and responsibility

Everything on this site is general information, not investment, tax or legal advice. Fixed-time and digital options are high-risk; total loss is an ordinary outcome, and most retail accounts in this product category lose money. None of the protections that attach to a registered Canadian dealer — know-your-client and suitability duties, an OBSI complaints route, CIRO oversight, Canadian Investor Protection Fund coverage if the dealer became insolvent — attaches to an unregistered offshore venue, and CIPF would not cover trading losses even at a member dealer. For tax questions, speak to a qualified accountant or work from Canada Revenue Agency guidance; Quebec residents also file provincially. Check volatile details — terms, payout, minimums, country restrictions — on the operator’s own pages before you decide anything.
