Forex Introducing Broker

In the Forex Brokerage and Trading industry, Introducing Brokers (IBs) is a quintessential and important part. IB can be a company or an individual which brings new business in the form of traders to the Forex Brokerage company and gets a commission as a reward. IB acts as a mediator between a Broker and a Trader. In this kind of venture, the IB should take interest in the growth of the traders joining him in order to earn more commission. He should provide proper consulting, trading tips, and support as well as some training related to trading signals and analysis. If the trader is happy, the chances of revenue for the IB are high.

What exactly is the role of an IB?

First, an individual or company has to partner with some brokerage and then offer the services provided by that brokerage to his contacts to become traders. With support from the brokers' software and services, the IB tries to attract potential leads and convert them into clients. IB’s earnings are based on the number of enrollments and a number of closed trades by the traders he has brought. But first, the trader has to register with the broker with the IBs specific link then only he will be considered as that IB’s client. Once the client starts depositing funds and trading, then only the IB earns money. The more the trader trades, the more commissions the IB earns.
