Active Trader is not available for Managed accounts, or accounts referred by an Introducing Broker.

Rebates will generally be posted to the account within two business days of the following month, but there may be occasions where the process takes longer. You should not use rebates as a basis of any trading decisions in your account, including to satisfy your total margin required. Additionally, rebate credits are not intended to limit your liability in respect of your trades and may not be used to set-off any payment obligation you have to us. Please refer to the margin and liquidations section of the website to understand our policy. 

FOREX.com retains the right to alter, amend or terminate this Rebate Scheme, or any aspect of it, at any time and without prior notice. FOREX.com reserves the right to refuse or withdraw the rebates from any account.

The cash rebates are not transferable between clients.
