Understand how Close By offsets opposite positions and why Partner rebates depend on actual eligible trade records.
What happens to opposite positions?
Where Close By is available on a hedging account, it pairs opposite positions in the same instrument. For example, Close By on a 1.0-lot Buy and a 0.8-lot Sell closes the matched 0.8 lots on each side and leaves a 0.2-lot Buy position open. This example describes the position result only; it is not a calculation of spread cost, recorded deal volume or rebates.
How are costs and Partner rebates assessed?
Close By and separate closing can produce different execution and account-history records. Do not infer a fixed cost saving, recorded-lot total or rebate amount from the 1.0/0.8 example. Review the actual MT4/MT5 history and the applicable Partner Portal records.
Only eligible closed trading activity can generate Partner rebates. The result depends on a holding period longer than 60 seconds, instrument rebate settings, account and Partner attribution, current programme terms, adjustments, reversals and review. An estimate or a chosen closing method does not guarantee a rebate.
If the records do not explain a rebate, ask for a review through Service Hub and provide the relevant trade references. Do not choose or repeat trades solely to obtain rebates.
