How do Forex brokers make money?

Thursday, 3rd September 2009

Do Forex brokers just make money off the spread or is there more ways in which these companies earn revenue on trader activity?
 





Lea
Forex brokers make money in various ways. Part of it is a spread. The other major source for their income stream is of course in-house traders, who will put positions against incoming trades and will do everything they can to " shake out " small players, for they have an ability to " see" where the real money flow is. Some of the brokers resell their " proprietary " charting software, proprietary strategies and educational seminars as well
