<b>The FTD attribution window nobody negotiates hard enough</b>

Most forex affiliate panels default to a 30-day first-deposit window. The default is rarely in your favor, and it's negotiable on a per-deal basis.

<b>What this is:</b> The attribution window is how long after a click a deposit still counts as yours. For forex, the gap between registration and FTD is longer than gambling — first deposits often land day 7 to day 20 after a demo account.

<b>Best for understanding this:</b> Anyone running SEO or email where the lead reads, leaves, and comes back.

<b>Why short windows hurt:</b>
— Demo-to-live conversion is slow; a 30-day window clips your tail
— Cross-device users who click on mobile and deposit on desktop fall out of cookie-only windows

<b>What to ask for instead:</b>
— 60–90 day window written into the IO, not just verbal
— Soft KYC match (email or phone) as a fallback when the cookie dies

<b>Cons of pushing too far:</b>
— Networks counter with lower CPA to offset a wider window
— Longer windows invite more deduplication disputes you have to monitor

<b>Who should skip this:</b> Pure PPC bridge-page buyers — your click-to-deposit gap is hours, so 7 days is plenty and a wide window adds nothing.

Verdict: Negotiate the window, not just CPA.
