How do I get the rebate?
What is a HFM rebate?
HFM rebate and HFM cashback are two names for one thing: part of the trading fee you already paid is returned to you. Through Backcom VN the maximum at HFM is $18 per lot.
It is not profit and does not depend on whether you win or lose — it is calculated on traded volume. Nor does it widen your spread or slow your fills: it comes out of the partner commission the broker already pays, not out of your costs.
The general mechanism is explained in what a forex rebate is.

Open a HFM account and start earning
This broker has 2 signup links with different spreads and rebates. A higher rebate comes with a wider spread — pick the one that fits how you trade.
| Link type | Spread | Code | Rebate | Sign up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No Markup | Normal | $12/lot | Sign up | |
| Markup 1 Highest rebate | SP43 | $18/lot | Sign up |
The extra rebate and the extra spread largely cancel out, so the bigger number is not automatically cheaper. Trade often and hold briefly and the low-spread link usually wins; hold longer and it is the other way round.
-
Register for an HFM account through the Backcom VN referral link. HFM has 2 types of links with different spreads: No Markup (normal spreads — rebate $12/lot) and Markup 1 (SP43 spreads — rebate $18/lot) — choose the option that suits your trading strategy.
-
Complete KYC (account verification) using 1 of 3 document types: citizen ID card, driving licence or passport.
-
Deposit funds into your account and trade as usual.
Note: If registering through a browser, open an Incognito tab to ensure the referral link is tracked. The partner code is always “30513100”; the Markup 1 tier can only be selected through the link and cannot be entered manually — go directly to the Markup 1 link in the table above.

Before you start
Do and do-not checklist7 items
Do
- Register using the correct Backcom VN referral link to ensure your rebates are tracked.
- Complete KYC using your citizen ID card / driving licence / passport.
- Choose an account type (Cent/Zero/Pro/Premium) that suits your strategy.
- Check the actual spreads and commissions for each symbol before trading.
Do not
- Register directly with HFM without using the Backcom link — you will NOT receive rebates.
- Mistake the advertised spread 'from 0 pip' for the average spread (Zero still charges commission).
- Assume leverage of 1:2000 applies to every account or region.
How the rebate is calculated
Total rebate = lots traded × rebate per lot
At up to $18 per lot, trading 10 lots in a month returns $180. At 50 lots that is $900 a month, or $10,800 across a year — whether those trades won or lost.
