Hey forum. I'm leaning toward opening with this broker but want to set it up the smart way from day one, specifically routing it through a cashback program so I get rebates per lot from the very first trade instead of realising months later I missed out. What's the correct way to open so the rebates are actually linked, and where do you handle that? Want to avoid the rookie mistake of signing up direct and losing the cashback.

Hi. Smart to set it up right from day one, signing up direct and losing the rebates is exactly the rookie mistake people regret. The correct way is to open through the rebate provider's link so the account is properly linked for cashback from the first trade. I handle that through Globe Gain https://globegain.com/brokers/fbs/ - they explain the steps and conditions for getting rebates with this broker, and you earn per lot win or lose once it's linked. They've run since 2011. Just confirm the linking before you fund, and keep the usual perspective, cashback lowers cost but forex stays risky. But for opening the right way so the rebates count from trade one, that's where I'd set it up.
