<h2 class="ng-star-inserted" style="text-align: center;"><span class="ng-star-inserted">How to Grow Your Forex Affiliate Income in a Bear Market?</span></h2>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">When the economy bleeds, most businesses shrink. Retail sales drop, luxury goods gather dust, and advertising budgets are slashed. But the forex industry is different. It is fundamentally counter-cyclical. Volatility is the lifeblood of a trader, and fear is often a more powerful motivator than greed.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">While other marketers are pulling back, paralyzed by the headlines of recession and inflation, the smartest affiliates are pivoting. They aren’t selling “dreams of wealth” anymore; they are selling “financial survival skills.”</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">If you are an <a href="https://www.acypartners.com/introducing-broker">Introducing Broker (IB)</a> or affiliate, you might be worried that clients will stop depositing if a recession hits. The reality is the opposite. Capital doesn’t disappear in a bear market; it moves. It flees from passive, losing assets (like crashing stocks) and seeks active, hedging instruments (like Forex and Gold). If you know how to position yourself, a bear market isn’t a threat to your affiliate income, it’s the greatest opportunity of your career.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">This is your definitive guide to </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">growing your forex affiliate income in a bear market</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> by mastering the art of “safe haven” marketing.</span></p>

<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">If you want to build a </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">recession proof affiliate business</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">, you cannot keep running the same ads you ran during the bull market. Here are the key takeaways from this guide:</span></p>
<ol class="ng-star-inserted">
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Volatility is Opportunity:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Traders need movement to make money. Bear markets provide aggressive volatility, which means higher trading volume and higher rebates for you.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">The Narrative Pivot:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> You must shift your content strategy from “Growth & Luxury” to “Safety & Hedging.” Teach your audience how to protect what they have.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Gold is the Hero:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Position <a href="https://acy.com/en/market/xauusd/">XAU/USD</a> not just as a trading instrument, but as financial insurance against inflation and currency devaluation.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">The “Plan B” Income:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Target the “Income Replacement” demographic, people worried about layoffs who are looking for a scalable side hustle.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Ethics Over Fear:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Avoid panic marketing. Focus on empowerment, preparedness, and education to build long-term trust.</span></p>

<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">To effectively </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">grow forex affiliate income in a bear market</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">, you must first understand the mechanics of why this industry is resilient.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">In the traditional stock market, the vast majority of retail investors are “long-only.” They buy a stock and hope it goes up. When a recession hits and the S&P 500 tumbles, their portfolios bleed. They feel poor, so they stop investing. This is why stock market affiliates suffer during downturns.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Forex and CFD trading are different. They are bi-directional. A trader can click “Sell” just as easily as “Buy.” In fact, markets tend to fall faster than they rise (due to panic selling), meaning that short-selling opportunities often produce faster profits than long positions.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Furthermore, during a financial crisis, currency values fluctuate wildly as central banks adjust interest rates to combat inflation. This volatility creates massive price swings. Since most IBs and affiliates earn commissions based on volume (lots traded) rather than client profit, a volatile bear market can actually generate </span><span class="ng-star-inserted">more</span><span class="ng-star-inserted"> revenue than a slow, quiet bull market.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Your job is to educate your audience on this distinction. You are offering them a toolset that works when nothing else does.</span></p>
<hr class="ng-star-inserted" />
<h2 class="ng-star-inserted" style="text-align: center;"><span class="ng-star-inserted">From “Earn More” to “Stay Safe”</span></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2156" src="http://wp.acypartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-27-133500-1-1024x528.png" alt="" width="1024" height="528" srcset="https://wp.acypartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-27-133500-1-1024x528.png 1024w, https://wp.acypartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-27-133500-1-300x155.png 300w, https://wp.acypartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-27-133500-1-768x396.png 768w, https://wp.acypartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-27-133500-1.png 1079w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">The biggest mistake affiliates make during a downturn is tone-deafness. You cannot post pictures of Lamborghinis when your audience is worried about the price of gas. You must pivot your content strategy to match the psychological reality of the market.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">This requires a shift in your “hook.”</span></p>
<ul class="ng-star-inserted">
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Old Headline:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> “How to Double Your Account in 30 Days.”</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">New Headline:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> “How to Hedge Your 401k Against a Stock Market Crash.”</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Your content must now solve the problem of </span><span class="ng-star-inserted">security</span><span class="ng-star-inserted">. You need to produce educational material that explains concepts like short selling, hedging, and inverse correlations.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">This is where a robust content distribution strategy becomes vital. You cannot rely on a single channel. You need to leverage the “Create Once, Publish Everywhere” method. A single in-depth article about “Recession Hedging” should be turned into a Twitter thread, a LinkedIn carousel, and a short-form video. You can master this workflow by reading our guide on </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><a class="ng-star-inserted" href="https://www.acypartners.com/blog/create-once-publish-everywhere-forex-affiliate" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Create Once, Publish Everywhere for Forex Affiliates</span></a></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Once you have your core content, you need to push it out where the conversation is happening. In a crisis, news cycles move fast. You need to be agile. We have compiled </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><a class="ng-star-inserted" href="https://www.acypartners.com/blog/5-social-media-strategies-to-promote-your-forex-affiliate-links" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="ng-star-inserted">5 Social Media Strategies to Promote Your Forex Affiliate Links</span></a></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> that are particularly effective when you need to tap into trending economic news.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Speaking of video, visual platforms are essential for explaining complex “crisis concepts” simply. If you aren’t using video yet, now is the time to start. Video builds trust faster than text, which is crucial when people are fearful. Check out our guide on </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><a class="ng-star-inserted" href="https://www.acypartners.com/blog/how-to-use-youtube-to-attract-high-value-forex-traders-for-forex-affiliate" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="ng-star-inserted">How to Use YouTube to Attract High-Value Forex Traders</span></a></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">. YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world; when people search for “how to survive a recession,” your video on short-selling indices needs to be there.</span></p>

<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">If you want to </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">market gold during a crisis</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">, you are pushing against an open door. Gold is universally understood as a store of value. Even people who have never traded a day in their life understand that when the dollar gets weak, gold gets strong.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">In a bear market, Gold (XAU/USD) should be your flagship product. It bridges the gap between the average person’s fear and the trader’s opportunity.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Don’t just sell “gold trading spreads.” Sell the </span><span class="ng-star-inserted">concept</span><span class="ng-star-inserted"> of gold.</span></p>

<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">In a bull market, you are often targeting “Lifestyle Seekers”, people who want luxury. In a bear market, a new, massive demographic emerges: the “Income Replacers.”</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">These are employees who are worried about layoffs. They are gig workers seeing their hours cut. They are parents watching their grocery bills skyrocket. They aren’t looking to buy a Ferrari; they are looking to replace a lost income or cover rising bills. They need a “Plan B.”</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">To </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">grow forex affiliate income in a bear market</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">, you must speak to this need for a scalable side hustle. You are offering them a business they can run from home, recession or not.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">You need to answer the question: </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><a class="ng-star-inserted" href="https://www.acypartners.com/blog/what-is-forex-affiliate-with-ai-side-hustle" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="ng-star-inserted">What is a Forex Affiliate with AI Side Hustle?</span></a></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> You can market the affiliate program itself as a revenue stream, or market trading as a second job.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">A common objection from this group is time. They are often working harder to keep their current jobs. You need to address this head-on. Show them examples of </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><a class="ng-star-inserted" href="https://www.acypartners.com/blog/does-anybody-trade-while-working-full-time-and-how-ai-gold-trading-solves-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="ng-star-inserted">people trading while working full-time</span></a></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">. Content that teaches “Swing Trading for Busy Professionals” or “15-Minute Morning Strategies” will convert highly with this demographic.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Furthermore, if they are too scared to trade themselves, Copy Trading is the perfect “bridge” product. It allows them to mimic the success of established traders. You can learn </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><a class="ng-star-inserted" href="https://www.acypartners.com/blog/how-to-market-a-copy-trader-a-forex-affiliates-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="ng-star-inserted">how to market a copy trader</span></a></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> to this specific audience as a way to “outsource” their investment decisions to experts.</span></p>

<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">This is the most critical section of this guide. When you </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">grow forex affiliate income in a bear market</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">, you are dealing with people’s fears and their livelihoods. This requires a high standard of ethics.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Do not use fear-mongering. Do not say, “You will lose everything if you don’t trade forex.” That is predatory and will destroy your brand reputation. Instead, use “Empowerment Marketing.” Say, “The economy is changing; here is how you can take control of your financial future.”</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Ethical marketing during a crisis builds the deepest form of brand loyalty. If you help someone navigate a recession, they will stay with you for life. This applies heavily to promoting automated products. If you are promoting algorithmic trading, you must be transparent about the risks. Read our guide on </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><a class="ng-star-inserted" href="https://www.acypartners.com/blog/how-to-promote-gold-copy-trading-ethically-and-compliantly-for-forex-affiliates" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="ng-star-inserted">How to Promote Gold Copy Trading Ethically</span></a></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">. It details how to set realistic expectations so clients stay for the long term rather than churning after one bad week.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Trust is also built through community. In times of crisis, people want to feel like they aren’t alone. They want to discuss the markets with others. This is why you must invest in </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><a class="ng-star-inserted" href="https://www.acypartners.com/blog/how-to-build-a-thriving-forex-affiliate-discord-telegram-community" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Building a Thriving Forex Affiliate Discord/Telegram Community</span></a></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">. A community acts as a support group and a retention tool.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Similarly, your email list becomes your lifeline. Social media algorithms might suppress “financial advice,” but your email list is yours. Use it to send reassuring, educational updates. If you haven’t started yet, learn </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><a class="ng-star-inserted" href="https://www.acypartners.com/blog/how-to-build-a-forex-affiliate-email-list-that-converts-24-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="ng-star-inserted">How to Build a Forex Affiliate Email List</span></a></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> immediately.</span></p>

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-869" src="http://wp.acypartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/jesse-livermore-legend.jpg" alt="" width="896" height="503" srcset="https://wp.acypartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/jesse-livermore-legend.jpg 896w, https://wp.acypartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/jesse-livermore-legend-300x168.jpg 300w, https://wp.acypartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/jesse-livermore-legend-768x431.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px" /></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Jesse Livermore, the “Boy Plunger,” made his biggest fortunes during the Panics of 1907 and 1929. He understood a fundamental truth: markets fall faster than they rise because fear is a stronger emotion than hope.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">If Livermore were an affiliate today, he would tell you: “Don’t apologize for the bear market; facilitate it.”</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">He would urge you to provide the tools (short selling, gold, put options) that allow the public to align with the market’s direction. He would see your role as giving the public a way to profit from the decline rather than being a victim of it. When you adopt this mindset, you stop feeling guilty about selling trading services in a recession and start realizing you are providing a necessary service: liquidity and hedging capability.</span></p>

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1506" src="http://wp.acypartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Jab-Jab-Jab-Right-Hook.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="683" srcset="https://wp.acypartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Jab-Jab-Jab-Right-Hook.jpg 550w, https://wp.acypartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Jab-Jab-Jab-Right-Hook-242x300.jpg 242w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Gary Vaynerchuk’s philosophy of “Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook” (Give Value, Give Value, Give Value, Then Ask) is never more relevant than in a recession. Here is how to apply it to </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">marketing financial services in a crisis</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">:</span></p>
<ol class="ng-star-inserted">
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">The Jab (Value) must fit the context:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> In a bull market, value is “growth tips” and “moonshots.” In a bear market, value is “protection strategies,” “risk management,” and “capital preservation.” If you keep jabbing with “growth” content, you will miss the target.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Don’t throw the Right Hook (The Ask) too early:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> People are scared and skeptical. Their wallets are tighter. You need to Jab (educate/reassure) more often, perhaps 5 or 6 times, before asking them to sign up or deposit. Earn the right to ask.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Respect the platform:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> On LinkedIn, discuss the macroeconomics of the recession and career hedging. On TikTok, show quick “inflation hacks” or charts of Gold spiking. Tailor the crisis message to the medium.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Micro-Content is King:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Speed matters in a crisis. If the Fed raises rates, you need a micro-video out within the hour explaining what it means for the USD. High-production value matters less than speed and relevance.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Authenticity wins over polish:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Don’t rent a fake private jet. Show your own trading station. Discuss your own concerns about the market. People connect with humans, not corporations, during tough times.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Listen to the Community (The Audit):</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Read the comments. What are people afraid of? Are they asking about gas prices? Housing crashes? Use their specific fears as the topics for your next “Jab.”</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Trendjack Responsibly:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> If “Recession” is trending on Twitter, jump into the conversation, but bring data, not hype. Use the trend to lead people to your educational content on hedging.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Native Content:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Don’t just paste a link to your broker. Write a full thread on Twitter explaining </span><span class="ng-star-inserted">why</span><span class="ng-star-inserted"> the market is crashing. Give the value right there on the platform. The “Right Hook” is the link in the final tweet.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Patience:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> A bear market can last months or years. Your marketing strategy must be a marathon. Consistently showing up with value every day builds the “Top of Mind” awareness that pays off when the client is finally ready to hedge.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">The “Right Hook” must be a solution, not a product:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Don’t ask them to “Sign up for a standard account.” Ask them to “Start your Recession Protection Plan today.” The product is the same, but the framing solves their immediate pain.</span></p>

<h2 class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">FAQ Section: Your Top Questions on Affiliate Marketing in a Recession</span></h2>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Q: Do people still deposit money during a recession?</span></strong><br class="ng-star-inserted" /><span class="ng-star-inserted">A: Yes, and often more than usual. Capital moves from passive investments (like ETFs and stocks) to active speculation (forex and gold) as people try to beat inflation. The volume of deposits may shift toward “safe haven” assets, but the desire to grow wealth remains.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Q: Is it ethical to promote high-risk trading during hard times?</span></strong><br class="ng-star-inserted" /><span class="ng-star-inserted">A: It is ethical if you focus on education, risk management, and hedging. It is unethical if you promise guaranteed income to desperate people. You must position trading as a high-risk, high-reward skill that requires discipline, not a lottery ticket.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Q: What is the best asset to promote right now?</span></strong><br class="ng-star-inserted" /><span class="ng-star-inserted">A: Gold (XAU/USD) is universally understood as a safe haven and converts best during economic uncertainty. Major indices (like the US30 or NAS100) are also popular for short-selling strategies.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Q: Should I change my lead magnet?</span></strong><br class="ng-star-inserted" /><span class="ng-star-inserted">A: Absolutely. Switch from “Growth Strategies” to “Recession Survival Guide,” “Gold Hedging Checklist,” or “How to Short the Market.” Your lead magnet must address the immediate pain point of financial insecurity.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Q: Will my commission rates change?</span></strong><br class="ng-star-inserted" /><span class="ng-star-inserted">A: Generally, broker commission structures do not change based on the economy. However, because bear markets often bring higher volatility, your clients may trade more frequently (higher volume), which can significantly increase your rebate/CPA income.</span></p>
<hr class="ng-star-inserted" />
<h2 class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Conclusion</span></h2>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">A bear market is not a signal to retreat; it is a signal to pivot. The financial world does not stop spinning just because the GDP is down. In fact, it spins faster.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">By aligning your message with the market’s psychology, focusing on safety, hedging, and income replacement, you can provide immense value to your audience. You are no longer just an affiliate; you are a guide helping them navigate a storm.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">If you are ready to take this seriously and build a business that withstands any economic weather, you need to structure your operation correctly. For the next steps on professionalizing your business, read </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><a class="ng-star-inserted" href="https://www.acypartners.com/blog/the-ultimate-introducing-broker-ib-guide-for-residual-online-income" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="ng-star-inserted">The Ultimate Introducing Broker (IB) Guide</span></a></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">.</span></p>
