Master IB
Un Master IB (Master Introducing Broker, ou Courtier Introducteur Principal) est un courtier introducteur qui recrute et gère un réseau de Sub-IBs. Il perçoit des commissions d'override sur le volume de trading généré par ses partenaires en aval, en plus des commissions issues de ses propres apports directs.
What it means in practice
Un Master IB (Master Introducing Broker) occupe le sommet d'un réseau multi-niveaux de courtiers introducteurs. Plutôt que de se limiter à apporter des traders directement à un broker, le Master IB recrute d'autres IBs -- appelés Sub-IBs -- qui réfèrent à leur tour des traders. Cette structure crée une hiérarchie de partenaires où les commissions remontent à chaque niveau.
Le Master IB génère ses revenus de deux façons: des commissions sur les transactions des clients qu'il apporte directement, et des commissions d'override sur l'activité produite par son réseau de Sub-IBs. Les structures d'override varient d'un broker à l'autre: certains appliquent un montant fixe par lot traité par les clients des Sub-IBs, d'autres versent un pourcentage de la commission perçue par le Sub-IB. Les conditions exactes dépendent de la négociation entre le broker et le Master IB.
La gestion d'un réseau de Sub-IBs introduit une complexité opérationnelle significative. Le Master IB doit disposer d'une visibilité en temps réel sur les performances de chaque Sub-IB: volume de trading, commissions accumulées et activité des clients référencés. Sans reporting centralisé, la réconciliation devient un processus manuel et source d'erreurs, susceptible de nuire aux relations avec les partenaires.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about master ib, how it works in affiliate programs, and where it shows up across Track360's supported verticals.
Un Introducing Broker classique apporte des traders directement à un broker. Un Master IB fait de même, mais recrute également un réseau de Sub-IBs et perçoit des commissions d'override sur le volume généré par ces partenaires en aval. Le rôle de Master IB combine ainsi l'apport direct et la gestion d'un réseau de partenaires.

Introducing Broker (IB)
An Introducing Broker is a partner who refers new traders to a Forex or CFD brokerage in exchange for ongoing commissions, typically calculated on the trading volume or revenue generated by those referred clients.
Sub-IB
A Sub-IB is an introducing broker recruited by another IB (the master IB) rather than directly by the broker. Sub-IBs operate under a multi-tier structure where commissions cascade from the broker through the master IB layer.
Lot-Based Commission
Lot-based commission is a broker affiliate or IB payout model where partners earn a fixed amount for each traded lot generated by their referred clients.
IB Rebate
An IB rebate is a payment that an introducing broker passes back to referred clients, typically funded from the IB's own commission share. Rebates are used to attract and retain active traders by reducing their effective trading costs.
Forex IB vs Affiliate
A Forex IB manages ongoing client relationships and earns from trading activity. A Forex affiliate drives referrals and earns per conversion. The key difference is depth of involvement.
