How HFM cashback works with PipGap
You sign up to HFM through PipGap's referral link. HFM pays an IB commission on every lot you trade, and 70% of that commission is credited directly into your HFM account by the broker — PipGap never touches your money. PipGap is not an active IB partner with HFM yet. Cashback math is an estimate based on typical HFM partner rates. Your spread and commission with HFM stay the same — cashback is purely additional.
