Lifetime Commission

Lifetime Commission is a partner agreement under which an IB or affiliate keeps earning a share of a referred client's generated revenue for as long as that client trades actively — with no fixed expiry date. It replaces a one-time bounty with an open-ended income stream tied to the client's activity.

The revenue you share in is what the broker collects from the client: spread, commission, or a portion of net trading revenue. As long as the client stays tagged to your account and keeps trading, the rebates keep arriving month after month.

This is the feature that sets forex partnerships apart from most e-commerce affiliate programs, where commission usually ends after a 30- to 90-day cookie window. A single active client referred today can pay out for years. For example, a client trading 30 standard lots a month at a $4 rebate produces $120 monthly — about $1,440 a year — and that continues as long as they trade.

The critical caveat is the definition of "lifetime." Some brokers untag a client after an inactivity period (commonly 3–6 months with no trades), and some quietly cap payouts at 12 or 24 months per client. "Lifetime" is only as durable as the specific IB agreement makes it.

When a client signs up through your link, the broker tags them to your partner account. From then on, a defined share of the revenue that client generates — spread, commission, or net trading revenue — is credited to you each time they trade.

Those rebates accrue in your partner dashboard and are paid on the broker's schedule for as long as the tag holds. There is no cookie window resetting after 30 days as in typical affiliate marketing; the relationship persists at the account level.

What ends it is inactivity or contractual caps, not a timer that starts at signup. If the client stops trading for the broker's defined dormancy window, or a 12/24-month cap is reached, the tag or payout can lapse — which is why keeping clients engaged is central to protecting the income.
