I’m trying to optimize my scalping strategy and confused about which RoboForex account to stick with. Their ECN, Pro, and Prime accounts all have different spreads and commission structures. From what I’ve read, rebates through GlobeGain can offset some costs, but I’m not sure how much that actually impacts profitability with frequent trades. Does anyone have real numbers on which account gives the tightest spreads during peak hours? Also, how does the cashback scale with higher trading volumes? Would love to hear from others who scalp regularly!
Prime for scalping. Rebates offset 40% fees.
ECN accounts are optimal for scalping due to raw spreads and instant execution.
While the $3.5 commission per lot seems high, GlobeGain rebates return $1.2 per lot traded. This reduces your net commission to $2.3.
Combine this with Prime’s 0.1 pip spreads during London sessions, and net costs beat other account types. Track your monthly volume—rebates increase by 15% if you trade over 500 lots.
I switched to the Prime account last month.
The spreads are tighter around news events compared to Pro.
My GlobeGain rebates cover about 30% of my total fees now. Not huge but adds up with 50+ trades daily.
Tested ECN and Prime accounts side by side for two weeks.
ECN had lower slippage during high volatility, which matters more than spreads for scalping.
GlobeGain rebates gave back $220 that month. Use their volume calculator to estimate earnings beforehand.
