What is a XM rebate?

XM rebate and XM 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 XM 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.

  • Check the actual spread/commission for each symbol before trading.

Do not

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.
