Solomon's Paradox in Forex

Why Brokers and IBs See the Same Partnership Differently

Huseyin Gursoz | Founder, VerifiedIB | 9 November 2026

In the Forex industry, brokers and Introducing Brokers (IBs) need each other. Brokers want to attract new clients and grow their business, while IBs look for reliable brokers, fair commissions and long-term opportunities.Both sides want a successful partnership, but they often see the same situation differently. A broker may feel that an IB is asking for too much support, while the IB may believe the broker is not offering enough.Neither side is necessarily wrong. The challenge is that our own interests can influence how we see a problem. This is where an interesting psychological idea, known as Solomon's Paradox, becomes relevant.

What Is Solomon's Paradox?

Solomon's Paradox describes a simple situation: we often give better advice to other people than to ourselves. When we are not personally involved, it can be easier to see the bigger picture.But when the problem is our own, emotions, expectations and personal interests can affect our judgment.The same thing can happen in business. Brokers and IBs naturally see partnerships from their own positions, which sometimes makes it harder to understand the other side.

How Brokers See the Partnership

Imagine a broker working with an IB.The broker expects the IB to introduce new clients, generate first-time deposits and help the business grow.If the results are below expectations, the broker may think:"We are paying commissions and providing support, but this IB is not bringing enough business."That may be true.But there could be another explanation.Perhaps the IB is bringing interested clients, but the broker's registration process is too complicated.Perhaps clients have problems making deposits.Or perhaps the broker's services are not suitable for the IB's local market.Without looking at the full picture, the broker may blame the IB for a problem that has several causes.

How IBs See the Partnership

Now imagine the same situation from the IB's side.The IB has spent time building a network, gaining followers or developing relationships with potential clients.The IB expects good commissions, reliable payments and support from the broker.If the partnership is not working well, the IB may think:"I bring clients to this broker, but they don't give me enough support or competitive rebates."That may also be true.But the IB might be overlooking other important factors.For example, a broker offering higher rebates may have slower withdrawals, weaker customer support or unsuitable trading conditions.A higher commission does not always mean a better partnership.And having a large audience does not necessarily mean the IB can bring genuine depositing clients.

When Both Sides Think the Other Is Wrong

Consider a simple example.An IB tells a broker:"I need more marketing support to bring more clients."The broker replies:"We need to see more deposits before increasing your marketing budget."The discussion stops there.The IB believes the broker is unwilling to invest.The broker believes the IB is not delivering results.But what if both are missing something?Maybe the IB generates many registrations, but very few people complete their first deposit.Maybe the broker's onboarding process is causing some clients to leave.Or maybe both sides have unrealistic expectations.

The real question is not who is right or wrong. It is what is actually happening.

To answer that question, both sides need to look beyond their own interests.

Where VerifiedIB Comes In

This is the problem VerifiedIB aims to address.VerifiedIB helps bring a more structured, evidence-based approach to broker–IB partnerships.Instead of relying only on promises, follower numbers or attractive commission offers, the process focuses on practical questions:- Does the IB have real experience working with brokers?
- Can the IB provide evidence of previous first-time deposits?
- Which countries and client groups does the IB work with?
- What kind of support does the IB actually need?
- Can the broker provide suitable services and commercial conditions?
- Do both sides clearly understand what they expect from each other?These questions help create a clearer picture before a partnership moves forward.For example, VerifiedIB may review an IB's performance information from the previous three completed months, including first-time deposit counts and amounts.Where possible, that information should be checked against reliable records rather than accepted simply because someone makes a claim.This does not mean VerifiedIB can guarantee that a partnership will succeed.It means both sides can make decisions based on better information.VerifiedIB must also be transparent about any commercial relationships that could influence its recommendations.

A Better Way to Build Partnerships

Solomon's Paradox teaches us a simple lesson.It is often easier to see a problem clearly when we are not looking at it only from our own side.A broker may focus on deposits and business growth.An IB may focus on commissions, support and long-term income.Both perspectives matter.But a successful partnership requires more than two parties defending their own interests.It requires clear expectations, honest communication and reliable information.This is the approach VerifiedIB aims to bring to the Forex industry.Not to automatically decide who is right or wrong, but to help brokers and IBs understand each other, evaluate opportunities more carefully and build stronger business relationships.Because a good partnership is not just about what each side wants. It is about what both sides can realistically achieve together.
