The amount per lot depends on CB-Dogs' current XM partner level and may change when that level changes.

The pips equivalent assumes a USD-quoted FX pair on a standard lot (100,000 units); for other instruments the pip value differs.

Effective spread example

Hypothetical example — spreads vary; check the broker's live spread.

  • Standard: Typical spread 1.60 pips − cashback 0.18 pips = effective spread 1.42 pips
  • Micro: Typical spread 1.60 pips − cashback 0.18 pips = effective spread 1.42 pips

Metals & gold

Gold (XAUUSD) and other metals are rebated at the same per-lot rate as forex pairs on each account type. XM counts a gold lot as 100 oz and a silver lot as 5,000 oz.

Minimum holding time

A position must stay open for more than 5 minutes to count toward cashback (trades closed within 5 minutes are excluded). This is a standard rule used to prevent latency abuse and does not affect normal discretionary or swing trading.

When can I withdraw?

XM: usually about 3–4 weeks from your trade until the cashback can be withdrawn.

Cashback we credit after confirming the broker's payment to us becomes withdrawable 7 days after it is credited. The overall timing depends on each broker's payout cycle to us.

Bonus & loyalty compatibility

XM's own deposit bonus and loyalty program terms can be affected by which partner (IB) an account is linked to. Some bonus or loyalty offers may not be available, or may be handled differently, on accounts linked to a rebate partner. Check XM's current bonus terms before deciding, and ask us if you're unsure — we'll always tell you plainly rather than talk you out of asking.

Opening a new account

If you don't have an account with XM yet, this is the only way to make sure your trading is tracked for cashback.

  1. 1Complete the CB-Dogs signup form and select XM.
  2. 2Click through to XM using the affiliate link we provide and complete their account opening and verification (KYC).
  3. 3Fund your account and start trading — cashback begins accruing automatically once the account is confirmed as linked to our IB code.

Linking an existing account

Already trading with XM? In some cases an existing account can be linked, subject to the broker's partner-change policy.

  1. 1Contact XM support and ask whether your account is eligible for an IB/partner change.
  2. 2If eligible, follow the broker's process to request the change to our IB code, which we'll provide after you submit the signup form.
  3. 3Once the broker confirms the change, let us know via the signup form notes so we can start tracking your volume.

Conditions & excluded trades

  • Positions closed within 5 minutes of opening are not eligible for cashback.
  • Cashback is calculated on closed-lot trading volume only; open positions do not accrue cashback until closed.
  • Trading in a way that violates XM's terms of service (e.g. abusive arbitrage strategies) is excluded and may result in the account being excluded from future cashback.
  • Linking to our IB code may affect eligibility for XM's own deposit bonus or loyalty program — see "Bonus & loyalty compatibility" above.
  • Rebate rates on this page are provisional until our IB agreement with XM is finalized.

Rates marked "provisional" are planning figures pending signature of our formal IB agreement with the broker. They may change before being confirmed, but will never be reduced retroactively for volume already traded.
