Which CFD brokers offer rebates for high-volume traders?
Verdict
- Pepperstone is our pick for high-volume CFD traders in Hong Kong, but we found no published rebate scheme from Pepperstone or any other broker we track, so we cannot name one that pays volume rebates.
- What Pepperstone does publish is low per-trade cost: a 0.1-pip EUR/USD average on Razor with commission of $3.00 per side on cTrader, about $7 a lot.
- Pepperstone Pro adds higher leverage and a free VPS for eligible clients; ask its team directly whether volume pricing applies at your size.
- XS Elite matches the $3-per-side commission but needs $500; Capital.com publishes no commission-based account in our data.
Volume rebates, where a broker hands back part of the spread or commission once you trade enough lots, are usually agreed privately rather than published. None of the brokers in our data lists one, so any 'best rebate broker' claim we made would be guesswork. What we can compare is the published cost a high-volume trader starts from, and there Pepperstone is our first choice.
Pepperstone's starting price for active traders
Pepperstone's Razor account is built for volume: raw spreads with a published 0.1-pip EUR/USD average, and commission per standard lot of $3.00 per side on cTrader or $3.50 on MT5 and TradingView. On cTrader that is about $7 per round-turn lot, so 100 lots a month cost roughly $700 in trading costs at average spreads. Pepperstone Pro, for traders who self-certify two of three criteria, adds leverage up to 1:500 on FX and a free VPS for eligible clients. If a rebate or tiered pricing is available at your volume, Pepperstone has not published it, so ask before you commit. Hong Kong accounts are held by Pepperstone Markets Limited in the Bahamas (SCB, SIA-F217); it has no SFC licence.

Monthly cost at volume, before any rebate
A rebate worth having would need to beat the gap between these lines. Moving from MT5 to cTrader at Pepperstone alone saves about $100 per 100 lots.
| Broker / account | Per lot | 100 lots |
|---|---|---|
| Pepperstone Razor, cTrader | About $7 | About $700 |
| XS Elite | About $7 | About $700 |
| FP Markets Raw | About $7.10 | About $710 |
| Pepperstone Razor, MT5 | About $8 | About $800 |
| Pepperstone Standard | About $11 | About $1,100 |
How to ask for a rebate
- Export three to six months of statements showing your lots per month.
- Ask the broker in writing whether it offers tiered commission, rebates or Pro pricing at that volume.
- Get the terms in the client agreement or a signed schedule, not only in an email.
- Check whether the rebate is paid as cash, credit or reduced commission, and when.
- Compare the post-rebate cost with the cheapest published account elsewhere.
Watch the strings attached
- Third-party 'cashback' sites pay you from the broker's affiliate commission; they may require you to open through their link and can change terms.
- Rebates that reward lots traded can nudge you to over-trade.
- Pro status, often bundled with better terms, reduces negative balance protection at Pepperstone to a discretionary, one-time cover of up to USD 100,000.
