Three parts: create your LotsBack account, open the trading account through the partner link, then connect it with the read-only login. The order matters. The broker credits LotsBack only for accounts opened through that link.
Cashback is an estimate until your broker confirms the week and it is paid. Cashback terms.
Sign-in is a magic link. There is no password to choose.
Most of it is the broker's identity check. LotsBack itself takes two minutes at each end.
The broker asks for both. LotsBack never does. Identity is the broker's job.
Go to Create your account, enter your email and press Send magic link. Open the email and click the link. It is valid for 15 minutes; if it has expired, enter your email again for a fresh one.

The broker you pressed on the home page is already chosen here, with its published cashback rate and partner link under one button: press Open. Arrived without choosing one? Pick it from the tiles and press the same button. The broker opens in a new tab — keep the LotsBack tab open, you come back to it.

Each broker has its own walkthrough: the form the partner link opens, the account type to pick, where the login details are, and where to deposit. Open the one for your broker.
Back in the LotsBack tab, Connect your account is already waiting on the broker you opened. Nothing is recorded yet: the account exists the moment it really connects. If the broker has not sent your details, close the tab and come back later — the same screen is here next time.
public/guide/lotsback/connect-waiting.webp or .pngThe Connect screen is already on your broker. Enter the three details from the broker's email — Server, Login and Investor password — and press Connect and start. Later on you reach the same form from Accounts, Connect an account.

Terms and conditions is the last screen, and everything is on it. Tick every box and press Okay, I'm good; the dashboard opens. Nothing asks for a payout address on the way in — you add one when you make your first withdrawal.
public/guide/lotsback/terms-and-conditions.webp or .pngThe card under Accounts tells you where the account stands. Every figure is an estimate until the broker confirms.

The card shows the last sync time and the number of trades read. The first import runs within the hour. From then on the dashboard shows each closed trade and its estimate.

Each closed position writes an estimate the same moment, at your broker's published rate. Nothing changes about how you trade.
Each week the broker sends its report and matched lots become Verified. When the week is released the amount is Available. Only Available is money. Payouts run once a week to the payout address you added; a new address waits in a cooling period first, so add it before you need it.

Only Available is money. Everything before it is an estimate.
All ten statesOften you can keep it. In setup, choose I already have an account. After setup, press Move my existing account on your dashboard. Then pick your broker. LotsBack shows the steps to ask for the move in the broker's portal, then sends your details to the broker so they can approve it. If the broker does not move it, open a new account through the partner link and connect that one. Both can stay connected; only the one the broker has moved to LotsBack earns.
