I’ve been trading for a while now and I’m looking at whether Exness makes sense as part of my broker setup, especially when factoring in rebates through GlobeGain.
I’m trading with decent volume - I run a scalping strategy on EUR/USD and a few other majors, so I’m looking at 50-150 lots per week depending on market conditions. For me, every tenth of a pip in cost matters because I’m working on tight margins.
I know Exness has different account types with different cost structures. Pro account spreads are supposed to be tighter but I haven’t verified if that makes sense compared to their Standard account once rebates are factored in.
My real question is: when you actually run the numbers as an experienced trader doing real volume, does Exness with GlobeGain rebates become competitive against other ECN or STP brokers for cost efficiency?
How are experienced traders actually using Exness and rebates together to optimize their total trading cost? What’s the strategy?
Pro account plus rebates beats standard. Cost is around 0.3 pips.
Rebates don’t move the needle much at volume. Focus on execution quality.
For high volume traders, you need to compare apples to apples. On Exness Pro account with GlobeGain rebates, your net cost on EUR/USD is roughly: 0.5 pip spread plus 2.50 commission per lot minus your rebate rate.
If GlobeGain is offering 0.5 pip rebate plus a small commission rebate, your total cost sits around 0.3-0.4 pips net per lot on major pairs. That’s competitive.
Compare that to a true ECN broker like FxPro ECN which has 0 spreads but 2-2.5 dollar commission. Without rebates, FxPro ECN costs similar to Exness Pro. With GlobeGain rebates, Exness edges slightly cheaper.
The reason I still use both: execution quality on FxPro ECN is marginally better for scalping, but Exness is nearly as good and the cost structure with rebates makes it worthwhile for some strategies.
For your 50-150 lots per week, the rebate value you’re capturing is real money. Calculate it: 100 lots at 0.5 pip rebate equals 50 pips or roughly 5 dollars per week. That’s 260 dollars per year for doing nothing different.
That said, rebates are secondary. Execution speed and slippage matter more than the rebate percentage.
Here’s the strategy I use: Exness Pro account for my high-frequency scalping where I’m doing 100+ lots per week. The rebates from GlobeGain plus the tight spreads on Pro keep my cost per lot under 0.4 pips net, which is good.
But I also keep a couple positions on a true ECN broker for specific strategies where execution is more important than cost. Different tool for different jobs.
Don’t make rebates your main decision factor. Make execution quality the priority. Then layer rebates on top if the broker meets your execution standards.
I’ve been using Exness Pro with GlobeGain rebates for about a year now and the math works out. On my EUR/USD scalping, the net cost after rebates is around 0.3-0.4 pips per lot, which is reasonable for the execution quality I get.
I compared it against a couple other brokers and Exness held up pretty well once I factored in rebates. The main difference is execution speed, which favors Exness during normal market hours.
If you’re doing 50-150 lots per week, the rebates definitely add up to noticeable money at the end of the month.
I run a similar volume to you - scalping EUR/USD regularly with 60-120 lots per week depending on the setup. Here’s what I found:
Exness Pro account with GlobeGain rebates gets my net cost to around 0.35 pips per lot average. That includes spread, commission, minus rebate. On 100 lots per week, that’s roughly 35 pips cost or about 3.50 dollars per week in total fees.
For comparison, I tested FxPro ECN which is pure commission ECN. Cost was marginally similar but slippage was tighter. The difference in my actual P&L between the two brokers was negligible - maybe 50-100 dollars per month either way.
My strategy now: use Exness Pro as my main account because it’s efficient and the rebates are easy to capture. I don’t get distracted broker-hopping. One good setup beats three mediocre setups.
The rebates matter at your volume level. Don’t dismiss them. But they’re not the primary factor. Execution consistency is what actually moves the profit needle for scalpers.
One optimization I discovered: different GlobeGain rebate tiers might apply based on your account type and volume. If you’re hitting a certain monthly lot threshold, you might qualify for a higher rebate tier. Check with GlobeGain directly about their volume-based rebate structure.
I found that once I hit a certain volume level with Exness Pro, my rebate rate bumped up slightly. That small increase on high volume added meaningful dollars back over time. Worth investigating for your situation.
