Understanding the difference between rebate and commission discount

Every trader wants to reduce costs — especially on spreads and commissions.
Most brokers and partners offer two types of savings: rebates and commission discounts.
They sound similar, but they’re not.
Understanding the difference helps you choose the setup that actually maximizes your profits.

Let’s break down how both work and how Forexcashbackrebate (FCBR) helps you benefit from each.

What Is a commission discount?

A commission discount means your broker charges you less upfront on each trade.
For example:

• Normal ECN commission = $7 per lot
• With a discount = $6 per lot

Pros:

• Lower trading cost at the moment of trade execution
• You see immediate savings in your trading platform

Cons:

• Usually available only to large-volume or VIP traders
• Discount levels are fixed and rarely negotiable
• You don’t get any additional income later

Think of it as a reduced fee — it saves money, but it doesn’t pay you.

What Is a Rebate (Cashback)?

A rebate, also known as Forex cashback, is a refund you receive after each trade.
When you trade, your broker earns revenue from spreads or commissions. FCBR partners with the broker and gives a portion of that revenue back to you.

Example:

• Broker commission = $7 per lot
• FCBR rebate = $2 per lot
• Effective cost = $5 per lot

Pros:

• Works with any account type (Standard, ECN, Swap-Free)
• Paid in real cash — withdraw anytime
• Applies to both winning and losing trades
• Doesn’t depend on your trading volume or status

Cons:

• Credited after trade settlement (daily or weekly, not instant)
• So, rebates are essentially post-trade refunds, not upfront discounts.

Real-World Example

Let’s say you trade 200 lots a month:

That’s double the benefit — and the rebate is paid directly to your wallet.

Why Rebates Are More Powerful Long-Term

• Scales with volume: The more you trade, the more you earn.
• Builds compounding effect: Rebates add to equity, helping growth.
• No restrictions: You earn regardless of account type or balance.
• Transparent & trackable: Every rebate shown per lot in FCBR dashboard.
• Stable income: Works even in breakeven or slow months.

Commission discounts save you cents; rebates can build you income.

Both rebates and commission discounts lower trading costs — but cashback gives you ongoing income rather than a one-time reduction.
