A percentage of what, exactly
This is the question to ask any programme quoting a revenue share, including this one.
The denominator is what Introbroker receives on the account. Not the spread the trader pays, and not the broker's gross. That is the industry convention: when a partner network quotes a revenue share, it means a share of its own revenue, and quoting it any other way makes two offers impossible to compare.
It is also the honest framing. The rate you are on applies directly to the number we receive, with nothing in between, which means the arithmetic behind your statement has one multiplication in it and you can check it.

How the rate moves
Everyone starts at the entry rate. From there the rate moves on revenue received over a rolling window, and it never moves down. Two properties are worth understanding because they are unusual in this industry.
- How the rate is reviewed
- Reviewed on a rolling 30 days of revenue received
- Direction
- Tiers never move down.
The first is that the ladder is denominated in revenue received rather than in traded volume. A lot is not a consistent unit across instruments, so a volume ladder moves two partners producing very different revenue at the same speed, and it rewards pushing traffic into whichever instrument gives the most notional for the least cost. Revenue received has neither problem.
The second is that a tier never moves down. A quiet quarter does not cost you a rate you have already earned.
Why there is no clawback
A clawback exists because money was paid in advance of the thing it was paid for. A one-off payment per funded trader is the broker paying you against trading it expects to happen, so if the trading does not happen the payment has to be recoverable.
Revenue share is paid on trading that already happened, which leaves nothing to recover. That is why there is no clawback on this model, and why there is 30 days on the front end on the hybrid, where part of the money does arrive in advance.
Seeing the trades behind the money
Every accrual carries the deal ticket it came from, the rule version it was computed under, and the filter that touched it if one did. A qualified-lot filter flags a trade and shows you which rule fired. It never silently removes it, which is the practice this industry is rightly suspicious of.
That is only possible because every closed trade is captured, per broker, rather than a conversion count. How the attribution works.
Questions
The revenue share is a percentage of what?
Of what Introbroker receives on the account. It is not a share of the spread the trader pays and it is not a share of the broker's gross revenue. That is the standard convention for a revenue share in affiliate marketing, and it is the number your rate applies to directly.
Is revenue share ever clawed back?
No. It is paid on trades that have already closed, so there is nothing to recover. The hybrid model's front-end payment does carry a thirty day clawback, because that part is paid in advance of the trading it is paid for.
How do I get to the top of the band?
By revenue received over a rolling thirty day window, reviewed on that basis and never moved down. The rungs between the entry rate and the ceiling are agreed in your own terms rather than published, because our internal ladder is still being confirmed against real partner distribution and we will not present a threshold as settled while it is not.
What happens if my trader switches broker?
Nothing changes for you. The attribution follows the trader, and your rate is identical across every broker, which is deliberate: routing should never be something a partner has to worry about.
