The Polaris Difference
Partner Types
Individual traders and sales-traders, investors and market speculators, individual and corporate introducing brokers, B2B brokers, professional and institutional traders and affiliates. Polaris is a place where everyone is a valued partner and mutual success is at the hearth of it all. Become a part(ner) of our universe.
Commercials Builder
First of its kind, the Commercials Builder lets you create your own deal. Focused on Introducing Brokers at its hearth, this tool allows everyone to be Polaris Partner and everyone to be an IB from day one. Individual Traders, Affiliates, B2B partners and IBs can all introduce business and get paid on all of the flow - even their own.
Portability of Business
Your business is your business. All introductions are onboarded directly to Polaris, but your book of business belongs to you. If you ever decide to leave, we will package up your portfolio and send it to the broker of your choice. This is how confident we are that this will be a lifelong partnership. Come and let’s create together!
Make it your own business
At Polaris Capital Markets, our focus is singular: you.
We don’t see clients; we see partners. When you join our co-operative, you become part of a shared vision and universe.
With us, you have the freedom to craft your own commercial deals, choose your trading strategies, and select your preferred payment methods. Whether you benefit most from a percentage of the spread, lower overall transaction costs, or a flat fee per million notional traded, we offer flexible options tailored to your needs. Plus, partners can qualify for revenue sharing opportunities.
You can select up to five commercial deals and assign them to as many as five different trading accounts. Different strategies suit different trading styles—partner with us to experience the difference!
With Polaris, you have multiple avenues to profit. Even when market conditions aren’t ideal for our trading strategies, you can still benefit from our trading rebates, ensuring a steady income.
Say goodbye to sales pitches and tough negotiations. At Polaris, you’re in control. Design your own commercial deals and tailor strategies to fit your unique trading style and flow.
We’ll monitor your performance and guide you on optimizing your strategies for the best results across various flows. Plus, you can make real-time adjustments to keep your strategies up to date with the current market condition.
And if you want to be a market maker instead? You can join our liquidity pool and trade against others in our universe.
Become a part of the Polaris Universe
Become a market maker
Polaris is essentially a network (or as we like to call it, a Universe) of trading partners where everyone can make their own decisions. Or if you want - you can have others make the decisions and take the other side of the trade. It’s your call.
Superior execution services
For those that want to experience superior execution services and managed trading services, we are able to facilitate that with our 24h trading desk designed specifically to work with extensive network of LPs to get you best execution possible.
Create your own set of commercials
Every account type gets paid
You are in charge of your financials and your own commercial structure. Our commercials builder tool allows you to build your own incentives package and turn the payment for order flow upside down so that it works in your favor.
Target Specific Issues

We understand that some traders prefer short term gains and quick wins, such as one-time deposit bonuses. But our philosophy is centered on fostering long-term relationships with traders, rather than focusing on short-term incentives. We aim to create value that stands the test of time, providing lifelong benefits and support that encourage loyalty and sustained engagement with our platform. By prioritizing ongoing incentives, we strive to ensure that our traders feel valued and supported in their trading journey with us.
-
We do not entice traders or IBs to seek out increased trading activity from their clients or to generate higher client acquisitions and client volumes in their transactions. You are not competing against everyone other than yourself. Instead, we emphasize that your trading practices should be grounded in the analysis of market movements, careful financial analysis, and informed investment choices, depending on which strategies prove to be the most effective for your personal situation. You are here to grow your business and make long term decisions that will last a lifetime. It is crucial to note that trading and client acquisition decisions should not be driven solely by the rebates you may receive, as this could lead to less informed and potentially risky choices. They should be based on sound business practices that will allow us to reform the industry at its hearth.
-
Our trading infrastructure is exceptionally robust, ensuring that we provide our clients with the utmost reliability. Furthermore, our pricing mechanisms are fast and accurate providing you with the top tier execution. These elements are undoubtedly key elements of any financial derivatives trader success and the tools we provide help you operating in today's complex market landscape.
-
We do not have to emphasize fast execution; it is simply a given within our operations! We do not engage in last looks, ensuring complete transparency in our processes. We do not partake in any questionable practices related to pricing skews or manipulation of fair values. Our organization maintains a low requote and rejection rate and strives for efficiency. Our pricing and execution accurately reflect the true market conditions and are never adjusted in consideration of our own trading book and overall exposure - that is our promise.
-
We offer a wide array of thousands of trading instruments, and we firmly believe that everyone should have access to diverse options in the trading market. However, we do not provide extremely high leveraged trading instruments that are specifically designed to exponentially enhance your risks. Our primary goal is to support your success with us over the long term, and to achieve that, we must exercise responsibility in our trading practices as well as in our risk management strategies. We also believe that it is our fiduciary responsibility to educate you on how to trade prudently and manage risks effectively, ensuring that you can navigate the complexities of trading with confidence.
What do we not offer or promote?
Our promise is simple:
Basic and Transparent
We do not overcomplicate. We keep it basic and simple because the perfection is in simplicity.
At all points in time, you have access to the raw data and reporting that is transparent and straight to the point. There are no hidden charges or surprises that would risk our commitment to a long lasting relationship.
Unique “book of business ownership”
When you introduce business to Polaris, be it your own account, friends and family or if you run your own IB business, this “book of business” is yours and yours only. Unmatched in the industry, if you choose that Polaris is not a broker for you, we will transfer the whole book to another broker of your choice.
Long Term Relationship
This cannot be stressed enough. We are not here for a day, a week, or a month. Quick wins are not how we approach business and long standing relationship is the only principle that guides us and that ensures long term success for all of us. We are a co-operative and without your own success, our success does not exist.
Liquidity provision and risk management
Create a plan that works for you
“Retail” does not exist with us. Everyone is treated like an institution and everyone is a B2B partner with us. From trading conditions, trading incentives, account types and instrument universe, to the way we treat you - retail and institutional are one and the same with us and we have leveled the playing field with the elimination of the various types of accounts.
Trading conditions are the same for all.

A co-operative, often referred to as a co-op, is an organization or business model that is owned and operated by its members, who also share in its benefits and responsibilities. Among other things, the fundamental principles of a co-operative include:
Member Ownership: Each member has a stake in the co-op and typically has an equal say in its governance, regardless of the size of their investment or participation.
Shared Benefits: Profits or benefits are distributed among members according to their use of the co-op’s services or their investment, rather than based on the amount of capital they’ve invested.
Mutual Support: Members work together to achieve common goals and support each other’s needs, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.
Polaris adopts many of these characteristics and extends the form of a co-op to create a first of its kind trading universe in our industry.
