Our Profit = Broker's Loss?

Our Profit = Broker's Loss.

My question: How?

I though when we trade, broker makes profit.

Care to explain a little?

it all depends on the broker. you are right that a broker always makes a profit on a trade through a spread, but some brokers who have a dealing desk will take the opposite sides of trades. not all dealing desk brokers do, but there are a few. in this case, if you lose they win. this isnt the case with most brokers though.

Do you know anything about Alpari? I'm going to signup with them... so, do they have a dealing desk and take the opposite side of trades?

Brokers that don't take the other side of your trade, but serve as pure intermediaries, are called ECNs. Some retail brokers will say they have no dealing desk, but I guess it's just up to you to trust them.

it depends on which branch. go alpari UK. regular alpari is based out of russia and they seem a little off, but the UK branch seems really good. weird, i know.

Thanks buddy. I prefer Alpari UK and I signed up with them.
