FP Markets Refer a Friend: $50 to $200 per referral

FP Markets pays a cash bonus of $50 to $200 when a friend you refer opens an account with your code or link, funds it and trades forex or metals. The bonus depends on your friend's first deposit and the lots they trade, and you can withdraw it at any time. FP Markets limits each referrer to three referrals per calendar year.

The programme is run by FP Markets Ltd, registered in Saint Lucia, and is open only to new clients who have never registered a trading account with FP Markets.

The four reward levels

$5002.5$50
$1,0005$100
$5,0007.5$150
$10,00010$200

With three referrals a year, the most you can earn is $600, which requires three friends each depositing $10,000 and trading 10 lots. Most referrals land in the $50 or $100 bands.

The four reward levels. $500: 2.5: $50; $1,000: 5: $100; $5,000: 7.5: $150; $10,000: 10: $200

The rules your friend must meet

  • Register with your unique code or link, as a new FP Markets client.
  • Fund the account within 30 days of registering.
  • Trade the required lots within 30 days, on forex or metal CFDs only.
  • Hold every trade open for at least five minutes.

Two practical points: you claim the reward by contacting FP Markets' support by live chat or email once your friend qualifies, and introducing brokers and affiliates cannot join without FP Markets' written consent. You can only take part in one FP Markets promotion at a time.

How FP Markets compares

FP Markets pays one of the larger cash rewards for big deposits, $200 for a friend who funds $10,000, but its limit of three referrals a year is the tightest here. XM and AvaTrade allow unlimited referrals.

A worked example

Your friend deposits $1,000 within a week of registering and trades five lots of EUR/USD over the next three weeks, holding each trade for at least five minutes. They reach the $100 level. If they had traded only four lots, they would fall short of the $1,000 band's five-lot requirement; FP Markets' terms tie each reward to both the deposit and the volume, so check which band your friend's activity reaches before claiming.

How to refer a friend

  1. Log in to the FP Markets client portal and copy your referral link or QR code.
  2. Share it with a friend who has decided to trade with FP Markets.
  3. Once they deposit and complete the lots, contact support to claim your bonus.
  4. Withdraw the bonus or keep it for trading.
FP Markets can disqualify referrals for abusive trading, which its terms define broadly, and can change or end the promotion without notice. Read our FP Markets review and compare the best forex referral bonuses.

Key terms explained

  • Referral reward: a payment for introducing a new client, normally only once that client deposits and trades.
  • Standard lot: 100,000 units of the base currency. A round turn means opening and closing one lot.
  • Trading volume: the value of the positions you trade, not the money in your account. A small account can build large volume with leverage.
  • Spread: the gap between the buy and sell price, and the main cost of a trade on commission-free accounts.

Who this offer suits

FP Markets' referral suits clients who know one to three people planning to fund an account of $500 or more. It suits less anyone with a large audience, given the three-per-year limit and the exclusion of IBs and affiliates.

Mistakes to avoid

The most common mistake is forgetting to claim: FP Markets asks you to contact support once your friend qualifies. Another is a friend funding after 30 days or trading products other than forex and metals. Trying a fourth referral in one year is the third, since the limit is three.

Before you claim: a quick checklist

  • Share your link or QR from the client portal.
  • Remind your friend of the 30-day deadlines.
  • Check they trade forex or metals only.
  • Contact support to claim once they qualify.

Our verdict

FP Markets' referral programme is straightforward and pays real cash, but its three-referrals-a-year limit means it is a small extra rather than an income. It works best for clients who already know a friend about to fund an account of $1,000 or more. The manual claim through support is the step most people forget.
