Lot-Based Commission

An Introducing Broker is a partner who refers new traders to a Forex or CFD brokerage in exchange for ongoing commissions, typically calculated on the trading volume or revenue generated by those referred clients.

An IB rebate is a payment that an introducing broker passes back to referred clients, typically funded from the IB's own commission share. Rebates are used to attract and retain active traders by reducing their effective trading costs.

A Sub-IB is an introducing broker recruited by another IB (the master IB) rather than directly by the broker. Sub-IBs operate under a multi-tier structure where commissions cascade from the broker through the master IB layer.

CPA is a commission model where an affiliate earns a fixed payment for each qualifying action, such as a deposit, registration, or purchase, that a referred user completes.

FTD is the first successful deposit made by a newly referred user. In iGaming and some broker programs, it is one of the most common qualification events used for CPA payouts and partner reporting.

A minimum volume requirement is a trading volume threshold that a referred client must reach before an IB or affiliate qualifies for commission payment.

Lot size is the standardized unit of measurement for a trade in forex, defining the number of currency units bought or sold in a single transaction.

A Forex IB manages ongoing client relationships and earns from trading activity. A Forex affiliate drives referrals and earns per conversion. The key difference is depth of involvement.
