| Tier 1 Rate | Tier 2 Rate | Tier 3 Rate | Monthly Cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10 per $1M (0–$10M) | $25 per $1M ($10M–$150M) | $50 per $1M ($150M+) | $10,000 |
TradingMoon's Cashback Programme returns a monthly cash rebate to every eligible trader based on the total notional volume they trade across all accounts in a calendar month. The programme runs across all 1,000+ instruments available on the platform including Forex, stocks, indices, commodities, soft commodities, and cryptocurrencies and applies regardless of whether individual trades close at a profit or a loss.
The rebate is structured across three progressive tiers. As monthly notional volume increases, the rebate rate per million rises, rewarding higher-volume traders with disproportionately larger returns. The monthly maximum is $10,000. Rebates reset on the 1st of each month, giving every trader a fresh volume baseline at the start of each period.
Volume is tracked cumulatively across all TradingMoon accounts held by the same client. The rebate rate applied to each portion of volume corresponds to the tier that portion falls within not a single rate applied to the total. This means traders crossing a tier boundary earn the higher rate only on the volume traded above that threshold.
| Tier | Monthly Notional Volume | Rebate per $1M Traded | Cashback per $1M |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $0 – $10M | $10 per million | Up to $100 |
| 2 | $10M – $150M | $25 per million | Up to $3,500 |
| 3 | $150M+ | $50 per million | Uncapped (max $10,000/month) |
| Tip: Tiers are not mutually exclusive. Volume in each tier is calculated and rebated separately. A trader who reaches $200M in monthly notional volume earns $10 per million on the first $10M, $25 per million on the next $140M, and $50 per million on the remaining $50M not a flat rate on the total. |
TradingMoon calculates cashback by multiplying each volume segment by the corresponding tier rate and summing the results. The examples below illustrate how the tiered structure works in practice.
| Monthly Volume | Tier Breakdown | Calculation | Total Cashback |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5M | $5M in Tier 1 | 5 × $10 | $50 |
| $10M | $10M in Tier 1 | 10 × $10 | $100 |
| $200M | $10M Tier 1 + $190M Tier 2 | (10×$10) + (190×$25) | $4,850 |
| $350M | $10M T1 + $140M T2 + $200M T3 | (10×$10)+(140×$25)+(200×$50) | $13,600 → capped at $10,000 |
The cashback programme is automatic from the moment a client's account is verified and the minimum net deposit is met. There is no application form, no opt-in, and no manual claim at month end. Trading activity accumulates throughout the month and the full rebate for that month is paid out in a single lump sum on the 1st of the following month.
Steps to Start Earning:
Cashback is based on notional traded value not the margin deposited or the profit/loss of a trade. The notional value of a CFD position is calculated by multiplying the contract size (units) by the price of the instrument at the time of trading.
On Moon Trader and cTrader, positions are measured in units. On MetaTrader 4, positions use a lot structure where 100,000 units equals one standard lot for Forex pairs. The unit-to-lot ratio varies for non-Forex instruments.
| Instrument | Example Contract Size | Notional Value Calculation |
|---|---|---|
| EURUSD (Forex) | 1 standard lot = 100,000 units | 100,000 × current EURUSD price |
| Gold (XAU/USD) | Lot size varies by platform | Units × current gold price |
| Stock CFD | Units defined per instrument | Units × current share price |
| Crypto CFD | Units defined per instrument | Units × current crypto price |
| Tip: Leverage amplifies your notional exposure without requiring proportionally more capital. A 1-standard-lot EURUSD position at 50:1 leverage provides $100,000 in notional value from approximately $2,000 in margin. This means the volume threshold for higher cashback tiers is more accessible than it might appear |

Clients who hold more than one TradingMoon trading account benefit from consolidated volume tracking. All accounts under the same client profile contribute to a single monthly notional volume total, which determines the tier and rebate rate. The monthly cashback lump sum is then distributed back across each account in proportion to its individual contribution to the total volume.

A CFD's notional value is the full financial value of the position: contract size multiplied by the instrument's price. Because cashback is calculated on notional volume rather than margin used, leveraged positions contribute a larger notional value than the capital at risk. This makes higher cashback tiers more achievable than raw deposit size would suggest.
No. Volume is aggregated across all TradingMoon accounts held by the same client. The cashback lump sum is then distributed proportionally to each account based on its share of that month's total volume.
Yes. Cashback is calculated on closed traded volume regardless of trade outcome. A position that closes at a loss earns the same notional-value-based rebate as a profitable trade of the same size.
The full month's cashback is credited as a lump sum on the 1st of the following month. The volume counter resets to zero at the start of each new month, giving every trader a fresh opportunity to climb the tiers.
Trades must be open for at least 3 minutes to count toward the cashback calculation. Positions closed in under 3 minutes are excluded from notional volume for that month.
Yes. The maximum cashback a client can receive in any calendar month is $10,000, regardless of the notional volume traded above the Tier 3 threshold.
