Forex Cashback per Lot: Calculation, Examples and Limits
Updated 25-07-2026 · 5 min read · by the TradeStats team
“Cashback per lot” is a rate applied to standard-lot volume. The basic formula is straightforward: eligible lots × USD rate per lot = rebate credit. The important details are which trades qualify, when the rate applies, and whether the source history is complete.
A transparent example
Suppose an approved account has a hypothetical rate of $4 per standard lot. A closed 0.50-lot trade produces $2, and a closed 1.25-lot trade produces $5. These figures are examples, not published TradeStats rates. Actual rates are set per follower account during manual approval.
Close time decides the rate
TradeStats selects the rate period using the trade's actual close time, not the time the trade first appeared in the database. That means delayed history still receives the historically applicable rate. A later rate change never rewrites credits earned under an earlier period.
Corrections remain auditable
Broker history can arrive late or be corrected. Reconciliation compares the expected amount with the last credited state. If volume changes or a trade disappears, an immutable positive or negative correction is added to the ledger instead of silently overwriting the wallet.
Estimate, then verify
The calculator is useful for scenarios, but it cannot confirm eligibility or a rate. Final credits require an approved, synchronized account. Withdrawals begin at a combined available balance of $100 and are paid manually in supported cryptocurrencies after network fees.

FAQ
How is cashback per lot calculated?
Eligible standard-lot volume is multiplied by the account's active USD-per-lot rate. A 0.50-lot eligible trade at a $4 rate would produce a $2 credit.
Do rate changes alter older credits?
No. Rate changes are prospective. Each trade uses the rate period active at its actual close time.
Why can the final credit differ from a calculator estimate?
The final credit uses synchronized closed-trade volume, the approved account rate, effective dates, pause periods, and any later broker history corrections.
