फॉरेक्स कैशबैक is a portion of the trading कमीशन a broker pays to its introducing partner — returned back to the trader, usually per lot traded. It is not a bonus, not a signal product, and not a guaranteed-profit promise. It is a cost-reduction layer.
How the money flows
कब आप खोलें a real account through a tracked introducing-broker (IB) link, the broker pays the partner a कमीशन. That कमीशन is funded out of the broker's own revenue stream — typically a fraction of the spread, the per-lot कमीशन, or a revenue share. The introducing partner then shares the majority of that कमीशन with आप.
So the chain is: broker → IB partner → आप. Your trading account is not debited to fund कैशबैक. There is no extra cost added to your trades because of कैशबैक. The IB कमीशन already exists; this is simply where it lands.
Why this exists
ब्रोकर compete heavily for traders. Acquiring a new account costs money. ब्रोकर pay IB partners because they would rather pay a partner than burn the same money on advertising. Whether the partner shares back to आप depends on the partner's business model. Most do, in some form. ShaFX shares the majority.
How effective is कैशबैक as a cost saving?
Take a simple example. Suppose आप trade 50 standard लॉट per month and your effective cost (spread + कमीशन) averages $7 per lot. That is $350 per month in trading cost. If your कैशबैक is $5 per lot, आप receive $250 back. Your net cost falls to $100. Same trades. Same outcome. Lower friction.
That difference compounds. A break-even trader becomes profitable. A small-edge trader's edge becomes meaningful. None of this changes the underlying market risk.
Common mistakes
- Treating कैशबैक as profit. It is a refund of cost. It does not turn losing trades into wins.
- Overtrading to "earn more कैशबैक". If आप trade more to capture more rebate, आप are paying more spread, more कमीशन, and absorbing more market risk than your edge supports. The math goes negative.
- Picking a broker only on कैशबैक. कैशबैक is one factor. Regulation, execution, withdrawal reliability, and country availability matter more.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
Is कैशबैक guaranteed? Eligibility is — every eligible trade through a tracked account counts. The exact dollar amount depends on broker reporting, इंस्ट्रूमेंट, and account type. See the कैशबैक methodology.
Does कैशबैक count as income? Tax treatment varies by country. Confirm with a local tax professional.
What if I lose money on a trade? आप still earn कैशबैक on the lot traded. It does not recoup your trading loss. It only reduces cost.
