What do you mainly trade?

Estimates show your actual share of cashback (approx. 10% of the broker IB rate). Actual earnings depend on broker, account type, and instrument. Cashback does not reduce trading risk or guarantee profit. Trading involves substantial risk of loss — you may lose more than you invest. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
