Where does it come from!?

There is obviously a lot of philosophy surrounding trading forex: risk, emotions, capital, training, and experience....

I have a simple question.... as you trade the foreign currency markets and, for example, you make a trade that ends up being profitable whether your right or wrong. The actual units of currency you earn during this profitable trade can be owed or guaranteed by whom... the rule of exchange rates? The bank your broker gets quotes routed from? The broker itself? .. Ive traded Forex for only 2 years and have thoroughly traded with sound service and advice, fundamental and technical strategies, that have brought me gain and losses, live and otherwise.......... ***My question IS who pays your wins and who earns your losses in the game of trading foreign currency???**

Paid and received by the broker

It depends on who the counterparty is. The counterparty takes the other side of your trade, so that's where any profit comes from (or loss goes to). Read the trading agreement you signed with your broker and it should detail this. Any broker in the US registered with the NFA has to put this information in the trading agreement in large letters.

There are two ways a broker will typically offsets trades, either through their dealing desk or through NDD (no dealing desk), ECN, STP (straight through processing) execution.

1. If the broker uses a dealing desk, then their dealing desk is taking the other side of your trade. The dealing desk is your counter party.

2. If the broker uses NDD, ECN, STP, etc then the trade is being sent to another market maker such as a bank(s).

Another important question you mentioned is

Forex trading is over the counter so there is no exchange guaranteeing you will get your profit. So a big question to consider is how reliable or financially stable is your broker?
