Hi

I"m curious about this subject also,
Once more revision on this posters question

Why would the broker hedge against a long trade that I may take, doesn't the spread cover that for the broker, and isn't my funds the only fund really at risk ?

Why woudl the broker even need to hedge or take an oposite position.

I mean to say if the broker gets lets say 3 pips on the Eur/Usd and I take a long or short position ? Won't the broker get his spread regardless of any other trades ?

And the only funds being at risk as I understood it was my own.
However, I do see the logic in taking an opposite position as the subject of 90% losers comes in. It would be logical to take an opposite trade from that standpoint, however I"m not sure they have to to make money ? I guess my real question is won't they make money anyhow due to the spread ?

Please advise
Thanks
