Your sponsorship provides each of your traders with two key benefits: a **full LITE license for one year**, and a **one-time 14-day trial of the PRO version**. The LITE license includes all core features like the risk calculators and the PDF trading journal with manual price updates. The PRO trial allows them to experience the power of real-time prices and custom alerts, creating a strong incentive to upgrade.

Our partnership model is based on simple sponsorship. Your firm pays a one-time annual fee based on the number of traders you wish to sponsor. This fee is not for the software itself, but primarily covers our ongoing costs for the premium API data feeds used by the application—such as the real-time Economic Calendar, which is available even in the LITE version. This allows us to provide your traders with a powerful tool for free, making your prop firm's offer significantly more attractive.

MyTradeGuard LITE isn't just a tool for your traders; it's your new, powerful marketing and sales channel. Here are proven ways to leverage it:

• Bonus for Free Challenges: Offer the LITE version as a free, high-value bonus to everyone who takes your free challenge. You'll instantly increase the value of your offer and stand out from the competition.
• Part of Paid Packages: Bundle the LITE version as a permanent feature of your premium challenge packages. Your offering becomes far more attractive because, in addition to capital, you're providing a professional risk management tool.
• Content Marketing: Create educational content (blog posts, videos) on risk management and demonstrate your branded yourfirm.mytradeguard.com in action. This provides genuine value while organically promoting your challenges.
• Email Marketing: Email your database with a subject line like, "The Tool That Will Help You Pass Our Challenge," and provide them with free access.

By implementing these strategies, you not only increase the appeal of your challenges but also build a permanent, passive revenue stream from affiliate commissions when your traders upgrade to the PRO version. It's a true win-win.

Each free sponsored license is verified and locked to the trader's unique hardware ID (MAC address). Our system maintains a central database of all MAC addresses that have already redeemed a free sponsored year. This means a single computer can only activate **one free year across our entire ecosystem**, regardless of which partner provides the license. This protects the exclusivity and value of your offer.

The process is seamless. We generate a unique Partner Key for your firm. You can distribute this key to your traders (e.g., in their client area or via email). When a trader enters this key into the application, their one-year sponsored license is automatically activated. For initial bulk distribution to your existing clients, we can also prepare a package of licenses in an Excel file.

The first firm to sponsor a trader gets permanent co-branding within that trader's app. Your logo and a custom clickable ad text will be subtly displayed in the application's status bar. Since traders often switch prop firms but keep the tools they love, **your brand remains on their desktop**, serving as a constant, daily reminder of the value you provided.

You benefit immediately. If a trader decides to upgrade from their sponsored LITE license to a paid PRO license at any time, you will **instantly earn your first annual affiliate commission** for that user. Their license is converted to a full paid PRO year, and you will continue to earn commissions on their subsequent renewals.

After the initial sponsored year, for every trader from your group who purchases a license, you receive a recurring annual commission. You can track all statistics in your dashboard. Payouts are made monthly via PayPal or bank transfer once a minimum threshold of **€100** is reached. Your initial sponsorship becomes an investment that can generate passive revenue.

The process is transparent and designed for your convenience.

• Progressive Expiration: Licenses expire one year from their individual activation date, not all at once.
• Dashboard Alert: In your Partner Dashboard, any license nearing expiration (e.g., within the last 30 days) will be highlighted.
• Automated Invoicing: At the beginning of each month, an invoice is automatically generated for all licenses that are due for renewal.
• If You Don't Renew: If you choose not to renew a batch of licenses, the traders' access will expire. They will then be prompted within the app to purchase a standard LITE license at the full retail price.

The partnership is flexible. If you choose not to renew, the co-branding and ads in your sponsored users' apps will be automatically removed. However, our affiliate tracking is for life. You will **continue to receive affiliate commissions** for all users from your original cohort who purchase or renew a license in the future. Your initial investment continues to generate passive income.

Every partner gets access to a private online Partner Dashboard. Here you can track license activations in real-time, view your commission revenues, and dynamically update your co-branding assets. You have full control to change your promotional text and destination URL at any time to align with your current marketing campaigns.

We are an EU-based company. After agreeing on the number of licenses, we will issue a standard digital invoice for the sponsorship fee. Payments can be made securely via bank transfer, Stripe (for credit/debit cards), or PayPal. All documents comply with EU regulations.
