Do not invest more money than you can afford to lose.
Russian forex brokerage TeleTrade said on Wednesday it will alter the terms of its cahsback reward program for active clients with VIP accounts. The changes will be applied from 1 July, 2016, and include a new calculation method for the cashback amount.

The amount they are rewarded will be calculated using the spread amount upon a position closing and the execution commission fee. According to the new rules, the maximum amount traders receive cannot exceed $10 per a single lot.
The broker will not restrict trade transactions and partly reimbursement of costs will be performed for all operations.
In addition, the changes envision that rebate bonuses will not be deposited to traders’ accounts in case they have received credit funds from TeleTrade as a deposit bonus during the billing month.
