Alpari Rebate Rates
The tables below show the cashback you receive through Rebate Gain on each Alpari account, broken down by instrument. Rates are paid per standard lot of traded volume, or as a percentage where Alpari prices that instrument group through the spread or commission. They are credited whether a trade closes in profit or at a loss.
Two things set your rate: the account you trade on and the instruments you trade. Forex majors on a Standard account return a flat amount per lot, while crypto and exotics are paid as a share of the spread. Find the account that matches how you trade, then read across to the instruments you use most.

Instrument groups follow Alpari’s own symbol specification. Per-lot rates are paid in US dollars on the lot size of the account: a standard lot on the Standard, ECN and Pro ECN accounts, and a micro (cent) lot on the Micro account. The Micro figures are therefore calculated per micro lot, not per standard lot. Percentage rates apply to the spread on the Standard and ECN accounts, and to the commission on the Pro ECN account.
What Is Alpari Cashback?
Alpari cashback is a share of the trading cost you pay on Alpari, returned to you on every lot you trade. It is also called a forex rebate. When you trade through Rebate Gain, part of the spread or commission that would normally stay with the broker is paid back to you instead, whether the trade wins or loses.
It does not cost you anything extra. Alpari pays a commission to its partners based on the volume their clients trade. Rebate Gain receives a portion of that commission and returns part of it to you as cashback. Your spread, your platform, and your trading conditions stay exactly as they were.
Every trade carries this cost regardless of how it ends. Whether a position closes in profit or at a loss, the spread is already paid, and on an ECN account a commission sits on top of it. Cashback hands back a slice of money you were spending either way.
Because it is tied to volume rather than to results, Alpari cashback rewards activity, not luck. A trader running 50 lots a month and one running 500 are both paid on what they actually trade, at the same per-lot rate.
Alpari cashback is
- A rebate on the spread and commission you already pay
- Paid per lot, on winning and losing trades alike
- Funded from the broker's partner commission
- Paid by Rebate Gain, alongside your broker account
Alpari cashback is not
- A deposit bonus or promotional credit from the broker
- A reward limited to profitable trades
- An extra charge added to your spread
- Anything that changes your Alpari platform or conditions
How to Get Alpari Rebates
Setting up Alpari cashback takes a few minutes and does not change how you trade afterward.
1. Register your Alpari account through Rebate Gain so your trading volume is linked to your rebate.
2. Fund the account and trade as you normally would, on whichever Alpari account suits you.
3. Your cashback accrues per lot and is tracked in your Rebate Gain dashboard.
4. Withdraw your accumulated rebate to your preferred crypto wallet.
Rebate Gain currently pays rebates in crypto: USDT and USDC across networks including Tron (TRC-20), BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), Ethereum (ERC-20), Polygon and Solana, plus Bitcoin. Bank transfer and e-wallet payouts are coming soon.
Already have an Alpari account? You do not need a new email or a separate client cabinet. Inside your existing Alpari cabinet you can open a new trading account and enter our partner code (IB ID), or send a short request to Alpari’s partnership team, to link your trading to Rebate Gain. Either route takes a few minutes and you keep your current setup.
Alpari Account Types
Alpari runs four live account types: Micro, Standard, ECN, and Pro ECN. They differ mainly in the minimum deposit, the pricing model, and the maximum leverage. All four trade on MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5, use Market Execution, and can be opened swap-free (Islamic), subject to the conditions noted below. The table below compares them, followed by a closer look at each.
| Feature | Micro | Standard | ECN | Pro ECN |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum deposit | $30 | $100 | $300 | $500 |
| Platforms | MT4 | MT4, MT5 | MT4 | MT4, MT5 |
| Maximum leverage | 1:500 | 1:1000 | up to 1:3000 | up to 1:3000 |
| Base currency | USD / EUR cent | USD, EUR | USD, EUR | USD, EUR |
| Pricing model | Spread only | Spread only | Raw spreads | Raw spreads + commission |
| Execution | Market | Market | Market | Market |
| Max order size | – | – | 100 lots | 100 lots |
| Stop Out | 20% | 20% | 50% | 50% |
| Margin Call | 50% | 50% | 80% | 80% |
| Swap-free (Islamic) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Micro Account
The Micro account is Alpari’s entry point. It opens from $30 on MetaTrader 4 and runs on cent balances, so position sizes and risk stay small while you test a strategy. Leverage is capped at 1:500, lower than the other accounts, which suits learning rather than scaling.
Advantages
- Lowest entry at $30
- Cent account keeps risk small while testing
- Good for beginners and strategy testing
Disadvantages
- MetaTrader 4 only, no MT5
- Lower 1:500 leverage than other accounts
- Likely to be outgrown as your balance and trade sizes increase
Standard Account
The Standard account is the default choice for most retail traders. It opens from $100 on MT4 or MT5, prices everything through the spread with no separate commission, and offers leverage up to 1:1000. One clean cost, no commission to track.
Advantages
- Low $100 entry
- Spread-only pricing, nothing to calculate
- Available on both MT4 and MT5
Disadvantages
- Spreads are wider than the ECN and Pro ECN accounts
- 1:1000 leverage magnifies losses as fast as gains
ECN Account
The ECN account moves you to tighter raw spreads and is aimed at more active traders who feel the cost on every trade. It opens from $300 on MetaTrader 4, allows leverage up to 1:3000, and caps order size at 100 lots.
Advantages
- Tighter raw spreads than the Standard account
- Suited to more active trading from a $300 entry
- Order size capped at 100 lots for clear limits
Disadvantages
- MetaTrader 4 only
- Leverage up to 1:3000 is very high risk
Pro ECN Account
The Pro ECN account is Alpari’s most cost-focused tier, with the tightest raw spreads priced on a commission model. It opens from $500 on MT4 or MT5, reaches leverage up to 1:3000, caps orders at 100 lots, and adds stock CFDs to the instrument range.
Advantages
- Tightest spreads in Alpari's line-up
- MT4 and MT5, plus stock CFDs
- Suited to high-volume, cost-sensitive traders
Disadvantages
- Highest entry at $500
- Commission applies on top of the spread
- Leverage up to 1:3000 carries serious risk
Regulation & Safety
Alpari has operated since 1998 and is one of the more established names in retail forex. The business is registered and supervised through several authorities across its international entities, shown below.
Is Alpari legitimate? Yes. It is a long-standing, registered broker with a large global client base and a multi-year track record. The level of client protection depends on the entity your account sits under, so it is worth checking which one you register with.
| Regulator | Jurisdiction |
|---|---|
| Mwali International Services Authority (MISA) | Comoros |
| Financial Services Commission (FSC) | Mauritius |
| National Bank of the Republic of Belarus (NBRB) | Belarus |
Which entity you register with sets the rules that apply to your account, so check the contracting entity in your client agreement before you fund it.
Spreads, Commissions & Fees
Alpari charges for trading in one of two ways, depending on the account. The Micro and Standard accounts are spread-only: the cost is built into the spread and there is no separate commission. The ECN and Pro ECN accounts tighten the spread and, on the Pro ECN, add a commission per lot. To compare them honestly, add the spread and the commission together for the pairs you actually trade.
| Account | Pricing model | How you pay |
|---|---|---|
| Micro & Standard | Spread only, no commission | Spread from ~1.5 pips |
| Standard | Spread only, no commission | Spread from ~0.3 pips |
| ECN | Tighter raw spreads | Spread from ~0.1 pips |
| Pro ECN | Raw spreads + commission | Spread from 0.0 pips, plus ~$2.50-$3.20 per lot |
Spreads vary with market conditions, so check Alpari’s live pricing for the exact figures on the instruments you trade, and add the Pro ECN commission to the spread when you compare accounts.
On a standard lot of EUR/USD, one pip is worth about $10, so a 1 pip spread costs roughly $10 to trade, paid once as you cross the spread. That makes the spread-only Standard account simple to read, while the Pro ECN can work out cheaper once you add a rebate, because its raw spread starts near zero and the commission is fixed.
Beyond the spread, the fee that catches people out is inactivity. Alpari charges a monthly inactivity fee of about 10 USD/EUR/GBP once an account has sat unused for an extended period. It is only charged while your balance is above zero, and it stops when the balance reaches zero.
Advantages
- Spread-only Standard account is simple, with no commission to track
- Pro ECN spreads start near zero for cost-sensitive traders
- A rebate lowers the net cost on every account
Disadvantages
- Live spreads are not published in an easy-to-find table
- A monthly inactivity fee applies to dormant accounts
- Commission on the Pro ECN adds to the headline spread
Deposits & Withdrawals
Alpari supports a wide range of funding options: bank cards, cryptocurrency, e-wallets, bank wire, and local payment methods. The minimum deposit depends on the account, from $30 on Micro up to $500 on Pro ECN. Notably for crypto-first traders, Alpari accepts USDT, including the TRC-20 network, where deposits usually clear in around ten minutes.
Alpari does not charge its own deposit fee in most cases, though card deposits carry a 2.5% fee and the payment provider may add its own. Withdrawals follow a closed-loop policy: you withdraw back to the method you deposited with, up to the amount you funded, before other options open up.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Methods | Cards, crypto (incl. USDT TRC-20), e-wallets, bank wire, local options |
| Minimum deposit | $30 (Micro) to $500 (Pro ECN) |
| Minimum withdrawal | From around $10, higher for cards and bank wire |
| Deposit fees | None from Alpari in most cases; 2.5% on cards |
| Processing | Withdrawals reviewed within ~1 business day; crypto and e-wallets usually clear same or next day, bank wire 2-5 days |
Two cost notes worth knowing: crypto withdrawals carry the blockchain network fee for the network you use (for example, the transfer fee on USDT), and some local payment methods add an intermediary fee. Alpari itself does not charge a withdrawal fee in most cases, but the amount you receive can differ slightly from the amount you request because of these third-party costs.
A practical habit with any broker: make a small test withdrawal early, back to the same method you funded with, so you learn the real timeline before larger sums are involved.
Advantages
- Crypto funding supported, including USDT TRC-20
- Low entry from $30, and most deposits are free from Alpari
- Wide choice of methods across regions
Disadvantages
- Card deposits carry a 2.5% fee
- Closed-loop policy limits your first withdrawal route
- Crypto and local methods carry third-party network or intermediary fees
Leverage & Instruments
Alpari offers some of the highest leverage in retail forex, but it is not the same on every account. The cap rises as you move up the account range, and at the top it reaches a level few brokers match.
| Account | Maximum leverage |
|---|---|
| Micro | 1:500 |
| Standard | 1:1000 |
| ECN | up to 1:3000 |
| Pro ECN | up to 1:3000 |
Leverage of 1:3000 means a $100 margin can control a $300,000 position. That cuts both ways: it lets small accounts take large positions, and it can amplify losses just as quickly. One thing to keep in mind is that the very top leverage applies mainly to major forex pairs. More volatile markets such as cryptocurrencies, gold and indices carry lower caps, so do not assume 1:3000 across the board. Treat the high end as a tool for precise position sizing, not a reason to trade bigger than you should.
On the instrument side, Alpari is a multi-asset broker. The range covers the main markets most traders use:
| Asset class | What you can trade |
|---|---|
| Forex | Major, minor and exotic currency pairs |
| Metals | Spot gold and silver |
| Commodities | Crude oil, Brent and natural gas |
| Indices | Major global stock indices |
| Cryptocurrencies | Popular crypto CFDs |
| Stocks & ETFs | Share CFDs and ETFs (Pro ECN, on MT5) |
Advantages
- Broad multi-asset range across forex, metals, indices, crypto and shares
- Very high leverage available for traders who specifically want it
- Leverage can be adjusted to manage risk
Disadvantages
- Leverage up to 1:3000 is very high and amplifies losses as much as gains
- Stocks and ETFs are limited to the Pro ECN account on MT5
- Leverage caps are lower on crypto, metals and indices than on major forex
Trading Platforms
Alpari runs its trading on MetaTrader and adds its own mobile app on top. There is no proprietary desktop terminal, but MT4 and MT5 are the industry standard, so your existing tools carry over.
MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5
MT4 is the long-standing choice for forex and runs on every account. MT5 adds more timeframes, an in-terminal economic calendar and broader asset coverage, and is available on the Standard and Pro ECN accounts. The Micro and ECN accounts are MT4 only.
Desktop, web and mobile
Both platforms work on Windows desktop, in the browser, and through the MetaTrader mobile apps for iOS and Android. There is no separate Mac terminal, so Mac users typically trade through the web platform.
The Alpari mobile app
Alongside MetaTrader, Alpari has its own mobile app for iOS and Android. It handles account management, deposits and withdrawals, market updates and push notifications, which makes it handy for keeping an eye on your account and your rebate away from the desk.
Free demo accounts
Alpari offers unlimited demo accounts on MT4 and MT5. They stay open as long as you keep using them and close only after about 30 days of inactivity, which makes them useful for testing a strategy or the rebate setup before funding.
Copy trading and PAMM
For a hands-off approach, Alpari runs PAMM accounts, where you allocate funds to an experienced manager who trades on your behalf and shares in the results. It is Alpari’s version of copy trading.
