The broker makes money on the spread so it doesn't really matter whether we win or lose. They just want us to keep trading as much as possible. But to answer your question, For every buyer there is a seller and vice versa. When we win, somebody else is losing. So it is my best guess that your losses go to another trader or could be the broker as well to cover winning trades. All I know is when I lose it's gone. Lol. Maybe these more experienced guys may have more insight than I do. Hope that helps.
