9-12months ago, you guys have about 1,400ish Traders, now that we have over 5,000 Traders i want to see Lower Spread for Forex, and Higher Limits with Margin, Please.

we are approaching Fast Towards over 6,000 Traders soon.

lets see some Cap increase.

Is the website mostly earning from trades that went wrong or is there another big income stream?

I only wonder if the spread is enough to earn and traders trading well and bad are averaging out so good then it sounds a bit like gambling. Of course it's the same with fees on other exchanges.

But i only was wondering if that is the main income stream for the site.

Profitable FX trading can be a challenge for some, so yes they do make money off trader's losing trades. But that's the same for any FX broker.

And yes they start with the basic fee via spread, the same as with other FX brokers as well.

A common business model for spread [betting] companies, is to take the opposite position to the trader/customer. If we accept that traditionally 80-90% of trading accounts are #rekt, this makes perfect profitable sense, over time.
I dont know what 1brokers business model is. Just saying.

I know what you mean, some brokers have market makers. Not sure about 1broker. I use mostly Tradingview (FXCM data feed) and it seems to be in line with that. I've yet to get rekt on a position that was counter to what was represented with that feed.
