Forex IB commission: per lot rates and a worked example
Worked example
Say 5 people join you at Level 1 with $250 each, 15 join at Level 2 and 40 at Level 3. Using the broker's rule of thumb (a $250 client trades about half a lot a month):
| Level | People | Lots a month | Rate | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | 2.5 | $40 | $100 |
| 2 | 15 | 7.5 | $20 | $150 |
| 3 | 40 | 20 | $10 | $200 |
That is about $450 a month from three levels, before Levels 4 to 10. For illustration only, not a promise of income. Lots depend on how much the AI trades.

How much is IB commission per lot in forex?
Commonly $5 to $15 per standard lot on regular accounts. Our managed fund program pays $40 per lot at Level 1.
How is IB commission paid?
Usually to a wallet or account balance. Ours pays to your wallet once you reach $50 on Crucial Markets.
Do IBs earn on losing trades?
Per lot commission is paid on volume traded, not on profit. Profit share programs pay only on profit, so per lot pay keeps coming in slower months.
