HI all,

How is IBFX earn from us?

via a spread?

How to know if the symbol() spread is a fixed spread or a variable spread?

I use GBPUSD with a 4 pip spread.

 

P

We cant discuss individual brokers here :)

> how do (brokers) earn from us, via a spread?

All brokers may earn from spread &/or commision plus difference between rollover (aka swap) rates

Also, any market-making broker will profit if he has hedged any losing trade we make

Some brokers used to do that with me - they dont any more ;)

If a broker is a genuine no-dealing-desk, there is no profit this way for them

Unfortunately there is no regulatory definition of NDD (or the similar ECN), so there is wriggle-room for brokers there...

> How to know if the symbol() spread is a fixed spread or a variable spread?

Have to ask your broker - MT just knows the current spread, not whether it might change

Good Luck
