Comparing rebates: align the account conditions and costs first
Before comparing rebates, check that the account type, instrument and eligible-volume calculation match. A larger rebate does not necessarily mean a lower overall trading cost. Eligibility for an existing account also depends on account-assignment rules and the applicable conditions.
Confirm these six items
| Item | The answer you need |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | Whether the region, account type and applicant qualify |
| Account assignment | Whether the existing account can be linked or reassigned, including restrictions from an existing relationship |
| Instruments | Which instruments and transactions count, and any exclusions |
| Measurement | Standard lots, transaction count or another unit; treatment of opening and closing trades |
| Costs and rebates | Any change in account charges; IB rebates and account-manager commissions listed separately, with each payer identified |
| Settlement | Calculation period, payment date, currency, thresholds and dispute process |
Do not include an unconfirmed rate or eligibility condition as an available rebate. Cent accounts and differing contract specifications also require conversion before displayed lot sizes can be compared.
Compare the cost components
Express spread costs, full round-trip commissions, net overnight charges and other applicable fees in the same currency for the same volume. Treat an overnight credit as a negative cost.
In MT5, Market Watch → Specification displays symbol settings for spreads, swaps and commissions. Commission may apply on entry, exit or both. Also check the applicable account fee documents. MetaTrader 5 documentation
For quote comparisons: estimated net fees = comparable estimated fees − estimated rebates confirmed as applicable.
For reconciliation: record incurred fees, approved rebates due, payments received and unsettled amounts separately. An amount due is not a payment received.
This is a fee-comparison method, not a trading-profit formula. Spreads are generally reflected in execution prices; do not deduct the same spread again when reconciling trading results. Execution differences and costs that cannot be established in advance require separate review.
An illustrative calculation
A and B below are hypothetical. Assume the same instrument, standard volume and holding period, one accounting currency, and rebate eligibility confirmed for that volume. These are not actual platform quotes or payment commitments.
| Item | Hypothetical A | Hypothetical B |
|---|---|---|
| Spread cost | 10 | 16 |
| Full round-trip commission | 6 | 4 |
| Net overnight charge | 2 | 2 |
| Total listed fees | 18 | 22 |
| Estimated applicable rebate | 4 | 7 |
| Estimated net fees | 14 | 15 |
Under these assumptions: A = 10 + 6 + 2 − 4 = 14; B = 16 + 4 + 2 − 7 = 15.
B offers a larger rebate, but A has lower estimated net fees under these assumptions. Changes in actual spreads, charges or eligibility change the result. An omitted fee must not be assumed to be zero.
Checking and settling through Fanyong
- Explain your existing setup. Tell official support the platform, account type and region. Confirm whether the account can be served before proceeding.
- Confirm each component. Current rules distinguish IB rebates from account-manager trading commissions. Rates and settlement dates depend on confirmed terms.
- Use eligible records. Rebates are based on platform-approved closed-trade records and standard lots. Align contract specifications where conversion is required.
- Check receipt after payment. The account manager pays their agreed rebate component directly. Match payment evidence, the statement and the amount actually received; raise discrepancies for review.
Fanyong does not receive trading principal. Account opening and funds movements take place on the platform's official website. Do not increase unsuitable trading solely to earn rebates.
Common questions
Can every existing account be transferred?
No. Confirm the platform's reassignment policy and the account's existing conditions first.
Does “full rebate” identify the total amount I will receive?
No. Confirm eligible transactions, units, rates, payers and payment dates. Account-manager commissions are listed separately.
Does an amount marked due mean it has been paid?
No. Reconcile amounts due, payment evidence and actual receipt as distinct stages.
How are disputes handled?
Submit the statement discrepancy and supporting records under the rebate and fulfilment rules. Any applicable compensation is limited by the agreement, approved amount and available security deposit. Rebate fulfilment arrangements do not cover trading principal or platform business risk.
