Reduce news scalping costs with a rebate layer on your existing account. Execution stays the same, but part of spread and commission returns as cashback — so NetCost drops.
Sounds familiar?
“I scalp with a 1 to 3 pip take profit. On NFP or rate decisions the spread explodes, a 5 to 7 pip stop gets hit purely by the spread and then price quietly moves my way. The direction is right but the statement still shows another loss just because of conditions.”
The reason:
On high impact news the order book is much thinner than usual, the best bid and ask move apart fast and the spread easily grows several times. The broker prices this risk in and widens the spread or markup, while you enter with a tight stop and small target and pay full price for every spike.
What happens if you change nothing:
You start cutting valid setups and reducing the number of trades. Your effective entry cost inflates, a 1 to 3 pip take profit stops making sense and a system with a high win rate drifts toward breakeven.
Stops are triggered by the spread and not by price. The stop is hit by a spread expansion, then the market quietly goes in your direction and your statement shows a loss instead of a realized idea.
A single release can eat an entire day or week. A news spike easily takes away the daily profit, hits the daily drawdown limit in a prop challenge and triggers tilt, after which the risk of compounding losses grows.
There is a solution and it is not signals. You can take back part of the spread and commission through a rebate (cashback). It is not magic or a promo: the broker pays an IB commission and the service shares it with you. Execution does not change, only your final trade cost does.
A quick illustration
Cost formula:
NetCost = spread in money + trading commission – rebate.
Example for illustration: 120 lots per month, commission 3 USD per lot, rebate 2 USD per lot gives 240 USD per month returned.
In scalping this is often the difference between trading on a razor edge and running a system that stays alive. The effect of the rebate grows with volume and trade frequency: the more you trade the more visible the savings on costs become.

Why you should not postpone connecting rebates
Every day without a rebate is an extra tax on every trade that accumulates over hundreds of entries and slowly pulls your equity curve down. A connected rebate lowers your breakeven point and makes it more stable so your system can survive different market regimes from quiet sessions to news days. The earlier you start getting costs back the easier it is to scale volume later without feeling that news eat all your statistics.
Trading Forex and CFDs involves a high level of risk and may lead to partial or total loss of your invested capital. Using leverage amplifies both profits and losses. Before you start trading consider your objectives, experience and risk tolerance and if necessary seek independent advice. FxCash is not a broker, does not hold client funds and does not provide investment recommendations. All information is for informational purposes only and is not an offer, solicitation or recommendation to trade. Rebates are a partial reduction of trading costs and not a guarantee of profit. The availability, size and payment schedule of rebates depend on your broker rules and FxCash policies and may differ across jurisdictions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
