Forex rebates & trading tools for MT4, MT5 and cTrader
Compare Standard and Raw Spread accounts at Exness, Markets4you, IC Markets, XM and Vantage Markets: spread + commission − rebate = your net cost per lot. Estimate monthly and yearly forex cashback, then size every trade with the lot size calculator. Rebates are paid on traded volume, whether a trade wins or loses; they reduce costs, they don't remove trading risk.

* Raw/ECN account, worked example: Spreads in the examples are the same illustrative inputs for every broker (not quoted spreads), so the examples compare commissions and rebates only. Rebates are the broker's maximum published partner rate; the share a rebate provider passes to the trader is lower and confirmed at sign-up. Brokers without a published rate show $0 rebate. Payout frequency is when the broker pays its partners. Fees and licences checked on 2026-10-18 against each broker's official pages; confirm them for your country before you trade.
Rebates are tied to the partner (IB) an account is registered under, so the steps depend on whether you already trade with the broker.
TOOL 2: POSITION SIZE & RISK CALCULATOR
Enter your balance, the percentage you are willing to risk and your stop-loss distance. The calculator returns the position size (rounded down to 0.01 lot) that keeps a stopped-out trade within your risk limit.
ℹ️ 1 lot = 100 oz; 1 pip = $0.10 price move = $10.00 per lot (some brokers count $0.01 as a pip — check yours)
FOREX BROKER PROFILES
Partner rates as published by each broker (the maximum its partner program pays — the share passed back to you is confirmed at sign-up), plus leverage and the main licences held by each broker group. Which entity you are onboarded to — and the protections that apply — depends on your country, so check the broker’s website for your region.
