How to configure self rebates
Reward partners for their own trades
By default, a partner doesn't receive rewards for the partner's own trades. A self rebate is an optional reward that the partner receives on each own trade. In reports, it is shown as a reward of level 0.
How a self rebate is calculated
A self rebate is calculated by the payment plan of the partner's own IB type for the traded symbol:
Reward = Payment plan × Personal ratio × Self rebate ratio × Tier ratio
The Self rebate ratio is set in percent and is used instead of a level ratio.
The following rules apply:
- If the partner's IB type has no payment plan for the traded symbol, no self rebate is paid. Rewards of the upline partners are paid as usual.
- A self rebate doesn't change rewards of the upline partners. For the Max amount payment plan, the self rebate is paid in addition to the amount shared between the upline partners.
- Only one self rebate is paid per trade. If a partner participates in several partnership programs with self rebates enabled, the reward is paid in the program the partner joined first.
- A partner's own trading volume isn't counted towards the partner's tier targets, and the partner isn't counted as the partner's own active trader.
- Self rebates are paid to top-level partners as well as to sub-IBs.
Before enabling self rebates, check that rewarding partners for their own trading complies with the regulatory requirements that apply to your business.
