HFM — Highest Gold Rebate: $29.70/Lot
HFM (formerly HotForex) offers the highest per-lot rebate on gold of any broker in our network at $29.70 per standard lot on Premium Trader accounts. This is a volume-based account with a minimum balance requirement, but for active gold traders this is the most valuable rebate available anywhere.
HFM's gold spreads average around 1.5–2.0 pips. At a $29.70 rebate per lot, the spread cost is partially offset on every trade. For a trader doing 100 gold lots per month, that's $2,970 in monthly cashback — money back regardless of whether trades are profitable.
Regulation: HFM is regulated by FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus), FSCA (South Africa), DFSA (Dubai) and CMA (Kenya).
IC Markets — Best Spread + Rebate Combination for Gold
IC Markets offers the best combination of tight spread and meaningful rebate. XAUUSD on Raw Spread accounts has average spreads of just 0.0 pips (commission-based), and the $7/lot rebate partially offsets that commission. For high-frequency gold traders, this results in the lowest net transaction cost of any broker in our network.
For traders who use automated strategies (EAs) or scalp gold on short timeframes, IC Markets' execution quality and near-zero net cost after rebate make it the professional choice.
