We credit your account with a bonus equal in value to that of your deposit up to $5,000. There will be two columns in your platform -- your "Balance" (which is the funds you have deposited) and "Credit" which is your bonus.

 

Suppose you trade 3 lots of your first day of trading; for each lot you trade we move $0.40 from the "Credit" column into your "Balance" column. This happens at the end of the trading day and will appear on your account statement as "Bonus to balance." So since you have traded  lots on the first day, your "Credit" will decrease by $1.20 and your "Balance" will be increased by $1.20. Thus, you can think of it as you getting some cash back (or a rebate) on a portion of your commissions.
