Becoming a trader is easyAll you have to do is open an account with one of hundreds of companies and you - Trader. Become an earning trader in Russia is a task that can be accomplished only by a very small number of people, because there are so many both obvious and non-obvious obstacles on the way to becoming an earning trader.

Having lost accounts several times, people who objectively realize their inability to earn money on financial markets, but with an active life position start looking for ways to earn money without participating in trading on financial markets.

So, let's start looking at the main ways to earn money without participating in the trading process.

1. Earning on referral links

Many dealing centers, brokers and investment companies offer quite generous affiliate programs. Their essence boils down to the following: you attract clients through your referral (affiliate) link, your promo code, etc. and receive passive income either from the volume of attracted client funds or from the number of client registrations.

How does it work? You - the most ordinary person, accidentally or purposefully get to the page with a beautiful description of a generous affiliate program; you register, leave some formal data about yourself, get a cherished link, perhaps some promotional materials about the company, and then - free floating. How you will attract clients under this affiliate program - the company is not interested in most cases, the main thing is that clients bring money to it.

You do not have your own website with high traffic or even an internet page? You are not ready to sit for months on financial forums and help people, so that for your help they somehow thanked you? Welcome to the ranks of ordinary spammers, who for 2-4 weeks try to leave "their mark" in all corners of the runet. Put some money into paying spammers in social networks and other so-called "promotion".

Who benefits from this way of earning money?

First and foremost, the company you have become a "partner" of. So that you pay nothingIn the long run, these links give some percentage of attracted clients, but you will not benefit from them, because the initial fuse is enough in most cases for no more than a month.

2. Earnings on spread payout

About a year ago I came across an internet project that became quite successful. There is such a thing as spread - is the difference between the purchase price and the sale price in a bilateral quotation. This difference in price allows the broker or dealing center to earn money on your trades (actually, this is their official earnings on traders).

One company decided to combine earning from affiliate links in not just one company, but many, offering traders in return paying a portion of the spread on their tradesfrom the part that the dealing center or broker shares with this company.

How does it work?

There is a certain site that offers traders to register with several major brokerage centers through its links, and in return the trader will get back a part of the spread from his trades. This scheme is profitable for everyone: the Dealing Center receives a flow of new clients, the Company receives remuneration from the DC for attracting each client, and the Trader gets a part of the funds returned to his account.

However, there are a few "buts."

This company at the initial stage needs significant investments in advertising itself and its services. A competent affiliate program, etc.
We need a constant inflow of new clients, otherwise DCs or brokers may suddenly terminate the contract with our company: in this case traders will no longer receive a refund of part of the spread, but will remain clients of this DC or broker, and changing a DC or broker is not a very fast process.
There are already quite a lot of such companies on the market and all of them offer approximately the same conditions for traders. To increase % payments to traders is to remain "without pants" themselves, to try to offer additional bonuses like "free consultations of lawyers, economists, psychologists, clergymen", etc. - is a very dubious advantage for experienced traders.

Thus, this way of earning money will be very successful if you have sources of attracting an unlimited flow of clients to open real accounts, competent employees, a serious advertising budget and an established system of interaction with dealing centers or brokers.

3. Earnings from writing Expert Advisors and Expert Advisors

Are you a programmer?

You have the opportunity to earn money by writing trading robots, Expert Advisors, indicators and other software for traders. There are several most popular programming languages for trading terminals: for example MQL and RuLang. If you set yourself a goal and pursue it, leave ads everywhere, actively participate in the life of financial forums, help people for free, you can quite easily gain credibility and a client base. On average, you will have several orders per month, which will be a good income both for students of technical universities and for qualified programmers.

4. Earnings on selling signals

Nowadays, there are many websites that offer traders trading signals for a fee. Many of them keep open statistics of profitability, have free test subscriptions, etc. This way of earning can be conducted in several cases:

you are an experienced traderwho, without his own positions, calmly predicts market movements and can give correct recommendations;
you are the owner of a trading systemwhich gives quite clear and adequate signals;
you are a competent translatorwho, having subscribed to a paid newsletter from some foreign site (or several sites), resell their signals.

When selling signals, you should understand the measure of your responsibility for them and, if possible, minimize the risks of losing clients' deposits in case of false signals, which, although rare, can occur in any trading system.

5. Earnings on investment

You can invest completely different amounts, in different options and with different returns.

The most popular forms of investment are PAMM, mutual funds and trusts. When we talk about investing, we are talking about a person or a group of people (a company) to whom your money will go for a certain period of time to be returned with a profit. What you need to remember to make sure your money comes back with a profit, or at least comes back at all:

There are open PAMM account ratingswhere you can see the statistics of each manager.
There are investment companies that have been stable (read "for a long time") in the market.
There are well-known (read "experienced") private traders taking funds into Trust.
There are drawdown thresholds (reducing the amount of your deposit), after which the manager closes positions to prevent the funds from zeroing out. So they are negotiated in advance.
There are also forms of formal contracts with managers (since in the Russian Federation contracts concluded orally are not legally enforceable).
There's no such thing of the companies or managers that you'll be offered 50-60-100-200-500% per month of any amount you deposit. All such offers can be considered as an attempt to deceive you or a risky investment on the edge of folly.

You should understand the following point: in order to somehow more or less live on the interest from the invested capital, the size of this capital must be from 10,000 dollars. Are you prepared to give up 300,000 roubles in order to receive 20-30 thousand every month?

6. Earnings from participation in contests not related to trade

Most DCs and brokers run all sorts of trading competitions and tournaments. They essentially fall into 3 categories:

Non-trade contests like "Who will wish our company a Happy New Year?"
Contests on demo accounts
Contests on real accounts. Of course, we are interested in the first option

To keep abreast of different companies' contests and successfully catch freebies is worth subscribing to their newsletters and always be ready to compose poems, take creative photos or shoot videos with the symbols of this or that company (so it will be useful to stock up on templates and logos in advance), as well as loyal friends / sites and other things that your creativity will rise to the heavens.

It is important to understand the essence of such contests from the point of view of the marketing department: The winner is the one who not only has something better, more interesting, more creative, but also the one who will attract more attention to his work and, accordingly, to the brand of the company holding the contest.

What should you choose in the end? It is a rhetorical question, but it can be solved. You can try a little bit of everything, realistically assessing your strengths.
