Short answer

Cashback = lots × cost per lot × rate. Trading 20 lots a month at $8 per lot costs $160. A 60% rebate returns $96 a month, or $1,152 a year, money you were already spending.

Key takeaways

  • Cashback reduces your cost per trade. It does not create an edge and it cannot rescue a losing strategy.
  • It matters most for high-frequency and high-volume traders, where costs are a large share of the result.
  • Never trade extra volume to earn cashback. You pay the full cost to earn back a fraction of it. The arithmetic is always against you.
  • Rates, eligibility and payment schedules are set by the broker, not by MarketPro, and differ by account type.

How cashback works

Brokers pay introducing partners a share of the revenue generated by the clients they refer. A cashback programme passes a portion of that share back to the trader instead of keeping it. You pay the same spread and commission you always did; part of it comes back.

The economics are straightforward and there is no catch to look for, but there is a limit worth understanding: cashback is a fraction of your costs, not a fraction of your losses. If you lose $1,000 trading, a 60% rebate on $150 of costs returns $90. It softens the edges. It does not change the outcome.

Where it genuinely matters is at volume. A trader doing 100 lots a month at $8 per lot spends $800 on costs. Recovering 60% of that is $480 a month, $5,760 a year, and for a strategy running at a thin margin that can be the difference between marginally profitable and not.

Cashback in MarketPro

MarketPro runs a cashback programme with Exness and XM. You link a trading account in the app, it is reviewed by a person, and once it is active the broker pays the rebate directly into that trading account on the broker's own schedule.

Two things worth knowing before you assume it applies to you:

  • Rates differ by subscription tier. The programme has a standard rate and a higher premium rate. The applicable figures are shown in the app, on the Earn Rebates screen, because they can change.
  • Existing accounts may not qualify as-is. Exness supports a partner move for some account types; XM has no change-of-partner process, so joining means opening a new sub-account. The app's request form walks through which path applies to you.

Full detail is on the forex cashback page. Cashback is one of three ways to offset the cost of MarketPro premium, alongside referrals and in-app rewards.

FAQ

Forex cashback calculator: questions

Does cashback cost me anything?
No. You pay the broker's normal spread and commission either way. The rebate comes out of the share the broker already pays to introducing partners, so the trader's cost is unchanged and part of it is returned.
Should I trade more to earn more cashback?
No, and this is the one genuine trap in every cashback programme. You pay 100% of the cost to receive a fraction of it back, so extra volume taken purely to farm rebates is a guaranteed net loss before the trade outcome is even considered. Cashback should be a rebate on trading you were going to do anyway.
Which brokers does MarketPro support for cashback?
Exness and XM. Account linking for app access supports a wider set including PU Prime and Vantage, but the cashback programme itself currently runs with Exness and XM. Rates and terms are shown in the app.
How do I know my cost per lot?
Add the commission your broker charges per lot round-trip to the average spread you pay, converted to cash. On a raw-spread account with $3.50 per side and a 0.2-pip average spread on EUR/USD, that is $7 commission plus about $2 of spread, so roughly $9 per lot. Standard accounts fold the cost into a wider spread instead.
