7️⃣ What’s Working BEST for Brokers (2026)

🔥 Top Broker Playbooks

• Live + Hot combo for fast cashflow

• Recovery desks running 24/7

• GEO specialization (not global blasting)

• Agent-assisted FTDs instead of self-serve deposits

• Smaller, cleaner funnels (1 CTA, 1 promise)

❌ What’s Losing Money

• Cold-only traffic

• One-GEO dependence

• No Recovery strategy

• Overpaying Tier-1 Live leads without Hot follow-up

8️⃣ Broker Allocation Model (Next $100k)

Recommended Spend

• $35k → Live Leads (ES / IT / CA)

• $25k → Hot Leads (same GEOs)

• $20k → Recovery (6–12m bucket)

• $15k → Paid Search

• $5k → Ready FTDs (proof of concept)

📈 Expected Output

• 70–110 FTDs

• Faster cash recovery

• Cleaner sales attribution

9️⃣ Final Broker Takeaway

Brokers winning in early 2026:

• Buy intent, not volume

• Run multi-layer lead stacks

• Treat Recovery as profit, not leftovers

• Optimize for LTV, not CPL

We Think Like Brokers, Not Affiliates

We don’t ask “how many leads do you want?” We ask:

• What GEO?

• What desk size?

• What deposit goal?

• What retention model?

Then we build the right traffic mix.

Bottom Line

Brokers choose ForexCryptoLeads because we help them:

• Deposit faster

• Waste less media spend

• Scale what works

• Cut what doesn’t
