How Brokers Make Money

Recommended Posts

Somehow I stumbled across this - Interdealer broker: 'I'm one of those shouting guys on a trading floor' | Joris Luyendijk | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk - absolutely no precise practical value, but interesting nonetheless . . .

Definitely mate. If you are open an account with a broker am sure they will have to charge you but exactly how much, i really do not know. Well, this also depends with which broker you are trading Forex. Normally, they do charge their interest and it may depends on how much you have win in the market. However, the best thing i presume is to trade max on demo account as you will be able to know whether the broker is reliable or not!!

Some unreliable broker can cheat us by adjusting the MT4 Platform, requote and trade againts us.

 

It's very bad but if you choosed wrong broker, you could get lose money not by your skill. :doh:

 

Hi Tradeforever,

 

Not all fx brokers make their money from the spread (or so I have been informed) - some just charge the very small spread of the underlying market and then a fixed commission per trade rather than 'marking up' the spread.

 

As another alternative, you can trade many major currency pairs as futures. These are exchange traded and therefore well regulated, and although you'll have to pay commission the spread will be just like other liquid futures contracts (seldom more than a single tick). Also, you'll be able to see volume, which you can't in the interbank market. If you trade currency futures then the conflict of interest issue with brokers trading against you disappears.

 

Hope that helps.

Ya this is true, we can find many unreliable broker across the net and we need to make sure that we are not one of their victims. We should investigate to the maximum in order to distinguish whether they are reliable and also transparent.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
