I've read such posts and opinions many times, but somehow I cannot understand it. There seems to be a common consensus, that brokers, which are market makers do not like news traders and scalpers. And they try to make theirs lives as hard as possible with some "dirty techniques", like requoting, slippage, delays in order execution, making spreads huge around news release times, etc.
Why would brokers do that? They make money on spreads, right? It makes no difference if trader wins or loses, he pays the spread anyway. So what gives? Can somebody explain it to me in simple words?
