Work out how many lots it takes to get, for example, 30,000 yen back a month. A tool for checking whether a target is realistic compared with your current trading volume.

Required monthly lots

40 lots

Per day: 2 lots
Per day guide (0.01-lot steps, rounded up): 2 lots
Cashback per lot (JPY): ¥750
Target (in USD): $200.00

Do not use cashback as a reason to increase your lot size. Increasing volume raises your risk of loss before it raises your rebate.

Formula

Item	Expression
Cashback per lot (JPY)	Cashback (USD) × USD/JPY
Required monthly lots	Monthly cashback target (JPY) ÷ cashback per lot (JPY)
Lots per day	Required monthly lots ÷ trading days per month

The guide in 0.01-lot steps is shown rounded up.

How to work backward from a target

The amount of cashback is proportional to trading volume. If you know your monthly target and the cashback per lot, the required volume is a simple division.

For example, with a target of 30,000 yen a month and a cashback of 5 USD (750 yen), you need 40 lots a month. Divided over 20 days, that is 2 lots a day.

How to take the result

If the number of lots that comes out is too large for your current volume or capital, lower the target instead. Cashback is something that comes back as a result of trading, not something to aim for.

If the required lots are more than double your current volume, treat the target as too high
Increasing lots raises your risk of loss first, and it easily exceeds the amount the rebate covers
Switching to an account with a higher cashback brings you closer to the target more safely than increasing lots

Points to note

FAQ

Q.Can I increase my lot size to reach the target?

We do not recommend it. Increasing volume raises your risk of loss before it raises your rebate. Keep to using it to learn what you can receive at your current volume.

Q.What if the cashback differs by broker?

Calculate for each broker. Confirmed values will be published on each broker page at launch. Until then, use a placeholder value to get a guide.

Q.The lots per day come out below 0.01.

That happens when the target is small or the cashback per lot is large. The guide rounded up to 0.01-lot steps is shown, so treat that value as the minimum unit.
