The RoboForex partner code is qbm. It is attached when you open your account, and what it changes is not your spread, your leverage, or your execution. It changes what a lot actually costs you, because up to 90% of the commission your trading generates comes back to you as a daily rebate.
That distinction is the whole point of this article. Most broker comparison content argues about advertised spreads, which are the number brokers optimise for marketing and the number that least resembles what an active trader actually pays over a month. Rebates operate on the other side of the ledger, and for anyone running meaningful volume they move the total cost figure considerably further than a fraction of a pip on a EUR/USD quote ever does.
What a Partner Code Actually Does
A partner code is not a bonus, a promotion, or a discount voucher. It is an attribution link written into your account when the account is created.
RoboForex operates a partner programme in which introducing partners earn commission on the trading volume of clients attributed to them. That commission is generated by your activity and paid by the broker out of its own revenue. It does not come out of your balance, it does not widen your spread, and it does not change the price you are filled at. Whether a partner code is attached or not, your trading costs the same.
The difference is what happens to that partner commission. With no code, it stays where the broker's default routing sends it. With code qbm attached, it is generated against a partner arrangement that returns up to 90% of it to you as a rebate, credited daily.
So the practical effect is a rebate on volume you were going to trade anyway, funded by a payment you were never going to see. That is why rebate arrangements are close to structurally free from the trader's side: the cost was already priced into the broker's model.
The attribution is set at account opening. That timing is the one hard constraint in the whole arrangement, and it is far cleaner than trying to have an existing account reassigned afterwards, which brokers generally do not do.
What "Up to 90%" Is 90% Of
Being precise here matters, because this figure is routinely misread.
The 90% is a share of the partner commission your trading generates. It is not 90% of your spread, not 90% of your commission paid to the broker, and definitely not 90% of your losses. The chain runs like this:
You trade a lot. The broker generates revenue from that lot through the spread or the commission on your account type. A defined portion of that revenue is allocated to the partner your account is attributed to. Up to 90% of that allocated portion is rebated back to you.
Three consequences follow.
The rebate is proportional to volume, not to profit. You receive it on winning trades and losing trades identically, because it is calculated from lots traded, not from outcome. For a strategy going through a drawdown, this is the only line on the account that is still adding.
The rebate figure varies by account type and instrument. Different account types generate different amounts of broker revenue per lot, and different instruments carry different spreads and commission structures. A lot of EUR/USD on a Prime account does not produce the same rebate as a lot of an exotic pair on a Pro account. Anyone quoting you a single fixed dollar figure per lot across all conditions is simplifying.
Up to means up to. The top of the range applies to the highest-generating configurations. Your actual rate depends on how you are set up and what you trade.
None of this makes rebates less worthwhile. It just means the honest way to evaluate them is against your own instrument mix and volume, not against a headline percentage.
RoboForex Account Types and Where the Rebate Lands
Account | Minimum deposit | Spread | Commission | Max leverage | Best suited to
ProCent | $10 | From 1.3 pips | None | Up to 1:2000 | Live testing at cent-sized risk
Pro | $10 | From 1.3 pips | None | Up to 1:2000 | Swing and position trading, no commission to track
ECN | $10 | From 0.0 pips | $20 per $1M traded | Up to 1:500 | Scalping and short-term systems needing raw spread
Prime | $10 | From 0.0 pips | $10 per $1M traded | Up to 1:300 | Highest-volume traders, lowest all-in cost
R StocksTrader | $100 | Varies by instrument | Varies | Up to 1:500 forex, lower on shares | Real shares and ETFs, 12,000+ instruments
The rebate applies to volume traded across account types, so the choice above is still made the way it always would be: on spread structure, commission, and leverage requirements rather than on rebate maximisation.
That said, the interaction is worth understanding. Commission-based accounts like ECN and Prime make your cost per lot explicit and easy to compute, which also makes the rebate easy to measure against it. Spread-based accounts like Pro fold the cost into the price, which is more convenient day to day but harder to audit. If you are the kind of trader who wants to know precisely what a strategy costs to run, the commission-based accounts plus a rebate give you a clean, verifiable number.
Accounts are opened through the same route regardless: register via my.roboforex.com/en/?a=qbm and select the account type during setup.
Why Rebates Move the Number More Than Spreads Do
Here is the argument in plain arithmetic.
Assume a trader running 100 standard lots a month on a commission-based account. Commission at $10 per million on Prime means a standard lot of 100,000 units costs $1 per side, so $2 round turn, so $200 a month in commission. Add the spread cost, which on a raw-spread account is genuinely near zero on major pairs during liquid hours but real on wider instruments and during news.
Now compare two ways of reducing that cost.
Route one is broker shopping on advertised spread. Moving to a broker advertising a slightly tighter average spread might save a fraction of a pip on some fills. It might also cost you more in slippage, requotes, or execution speed, and the advertised average tells you nothing about the distribution during the hours you actually trade. The saving is real but unpredictable, and it costs you a broker migration to obtain.
Route two is a rebate on volume you are already trading, at the broker you already chose, on the account type you already selected. It arrives daily, it is calculable in advance from your lot count, and it requires no change to your strategy, platform, or execution.
For a trader at 100 lots a month, route two is the larger and more certain effect. At 500 or 1,000 lots a month it is not close. And the difference compounds: a rebate paid daily on a strategy that is turning over consistently is a steady reduction in the effective cost of every position you open for as long as you keep the account.
This is why rebate arrangements matter most to precisely the traders who talk about them least: high-frequency systems, scalping strategies, expert advisors running continuously, and copy trading portfolios where volume accumulates without discretionary decisions. Those are all volume-heavy by construction.
Worked Example: What Daily Actually Means
The daily part of daily rebate is not cosmetic, and it is worth spelling out why.
A monthly rebate is a lump payment arriving after the fact. A daily rebate is credited on the previous day's volume, which means it is available to be withdrawn, or to be traded as additional margin, or simply to sit in the account offsetting the running cost of positions you currently hold.
For a trader running consistent volume, the practical effect is that the cost of the strategy is being partially refunded almost in real time rather than a month in arrears. Over a year of continuous trading, that difference in timing is not enormous in absolute terms, but it changes how the account feels to operate: the cost line and the rebate line move together instead of the rebate arriving as an occasional surprise.
It also makes verification straightforward. You can check yesterday's lot count against yesterday's rebate credit and confirm the arrangement is working as described. A monthly payment obscures this. A daily one does not, which is a reasonable thing to want from any arrangement involving someone else's percentage.
Who This Is Actually For
Rebate arrangements are not equally valuable to everyone, and pretending otherwise wastes people's time.
They matter substantially to high-volume traders. If you turn over hundreds of lots a month, the rebate is a serious line item and the single easiest cost reduction available to you.
They matter substantially to automated strategies. Expert advisors and algorithmic systems generate volume mechanically and continuously. The rebate scales with that volume without requiring any change to the system's logic. For a marginally profitable system, the rebate can be the difference between viable and not.
They matter to scalpers and short-term traders. High trade frequency means cost per trade dominates the P&L. A rebate directly reduces the number that dominates.
They matter to copy trading participants. RoboForex's CopyFX platform generates volume through copied positions, and that volume is attributable in the same way as manual trading.
They matter less to low-frequency position traders. If you open four trades a month and hold them for weeks, your total volume is small and the rebate will be correspondingly small. It is still free, and it is still worth attaching, but it will not change your economics.
The general rule is that rebate value scales with turnover, and turnover is the thing you should measure before deciding how much weight to give it.
Opening an Account With Code qbm
- Open my.roboforex.com/en/?a=qbm so the partner attribution is carried in the URL.
- Register the Members Area with your email and set a password.
- Verify your email address.
- Open a trading account inside the Members Area, choosing account type (ProCent, Pro, ECN, Prime, or R StocksTrader), base currency, and platform.
- Complete identity verification. This is required before withdrawals and worth doing immediately rather than at the point you want to take money out.
- Fund the account and confirm your rebate is accruing after your first day of trading.
Step one is the only one that cannot be repeated. Everything else in that list can be changed, added to, or redone later. The partner attribution is written when the Members Area is created, so a browser that strips URL parameters, or a detour through a different entry point mid-signup, is the failure mode to watch for.
Step six is worth actually doing rather than assuming. Trade something, wait for the daily cycle, and confirm the credit appears. Verifying an arrangement on day one is easier than reconstructing why it never worked three months in.
If You Already Have a RoboForex Account
Partner attribution is set at account creation, and brokers generally do not reassign existing clients between partners on request. This is standard across the industry and is not specific to RoboForex.
Realistically, your options are:
Contact support and ask. The answer is usually no, but it costs nothing to establish that directly rather than assuming.
Open through the link going forward. If you have been considering a second account for a different strategy, a different account type, or a separation between manual and automated trading, that is a natural point at which the attribution can be set correctly. Confirm with RoboForex what its policy is on multiple accounts under one Members Area before relying on this.
Do nothing. An unattributed account trades identically. You simply receive no rebate on the volume, which is the status quo you are already in.
For anyone who has not yet opened an account, the takeaway is straightforward: the link is the only step in the process that has to happen first.
What the Partner Code Does Not Do
It does not change your spread, your execution, or your fill quality. Those are functions of your account type and market conditions.
It does not change your leverage cap, which is set by account type.
It does not reduce the commission you pay to the broker. It returns a share of separate partner commission generated by your volume.
It does not create a bonus or a deposit credit. There is nothing to claim and nothing with a wagering condition attached.
It does not guarantee profitability. A rebate reduces cost. It does not make a losing strategy profitable, and any framing that suggests otherwise should be treated with suspicion.
It does not override regional restrictions or verification requirements.
Regulation, Regions, and What to Check First
RoboForex Ltd is licensed in Belize and its group entities do not target clients in the EU, EEA, or UK. If you are in one of those jurisdictions, this is the first thing to establish rather than the last, because it determines whether an account is available to you at all.
Beyond that, a few practical checks before funding anything:
Confirm the instruments you actually trade are available on the account type you are choosing, and check their specific spread and commission treatment rather than assuming the headline figures apply universally.
Confirm the leverage available on your chosen account type suits your risk model. The 1:2000 figure applies to ProCent and Pro; ECN caps at 1:500 and Prime at 1:300.
Note that RoboForex provides negative balance protection and offers swap-free trading across account types under stated conditions, both of which are worth reading in the broker's own terms rather than in summary.
Understand that leveraged forex and CFD trading carries substantial risk of loss. A rebate improves your cost structure. It does not change the risk profile of the positions you take.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RoboForex partner code? The partner code is qbm. Opening your account through my.roboforex.com/en/?a=qbm attributes it to that partner and enables a rebate of up to 90% of generated commission, credited daily.
Does using a partner code cost me anything? No. The partner commission is paid by the broker out of its own revenue and is generated whether or not a code is attached. Your spread, commission and execution are unchanged.
What exactly is the 90% calculated from? The partner commission your trading volume generates, not your spread, your broker commission, or your profit or loss.
Is the rebate paid on losing trades? Yes. It is calculated from lots traded rather than from outcome, so it accrues identically on winning and losing positions.
How often is it paid? Daily, on the previous day's volume.
Does it apply to all account types? Rebates accrue on traded volume across account types, though the amount generated per lot differs by account type and instrument. Commission-based accounts such as ECN and Prime make the calculation easiest to verify.
Can I add the partner code to an existing account? Generally no. Attribution is set when the account is created and brokers do not usually reassign existing clients. You can ask support directly, but expect a no.
What is the minimum deposit? $10 on ProCent, Pro, ECN and Prime. $100 on R StocksTrader.
What leverage is available? Up to 1:2000 on ProCent and Pro, up to 1:500 on ECN, and up to 1:300 on Prime.
Which platforms can I use? MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, R WebTrader, R MobileTrader, and the proprietary R StocksTrader platform for shares and ETFs.
Do copied trades on CopyFX generate rebates? Copied positions generate volume in the same way manual trades do, and volume is what the rebate is calculated from.
Does the rebate work with expert advisors? Yes. Automated systems generate volume mechanically, which is precisely the pattern rebates reward most.
Is RoboForex available in my country? RoboForex Ltd is licensed in Belize and does not target EU, EEA, or UK clients. Confirm availability for your jurisdiction before opening an account.
Will a rebate make my strategy profitable? No. It reduces the cost of running a strategy. Whether the strategy has an edge is a separate question and one the rebate does not answer.
Conclusion
RoboForex partner code qbm does one thing, and it does it to a part of the account most traders never optimise. Attribution set at signup returns up to 90% of the partner commission your volume generates, credited daily, on every lot regardless of whether the position won.
It is worth being clear about the size of the claim. This is not a strategy, an edge, or a shortcut. It is a reduction in the cost of trading you were going to do anyway, funded from a revenue stream that exists whether you capture a share of it or not. For a low-frequency trader that is a marginal improvement. For anyone running serious volume, automated systems, or short-term strategies where cost per trade dominates, it is one of the few adjustments available that improves the numbers without touching the strategy.
The mechanism has one requirement: the attribution has to be in place when the account is created. If you are opening a RoboForex account, open it through my.roboforex.com/en/?a=qbm, select your account type during setup, and check that the rebate credits after your first trading day.
Risk warning: Trading leveraged forex and CFD products carries a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses, and you can lose more than your initial reasoning about a position anticipated. Rebate rates, account specifications, commission structures and regional availability are set by RoboForex and may change. This article is informational and does not constitute financial advice.
