    Zero-spread brokers attract traders by offering no difference between bid and ask prices, but they must still generate revenue. Understanding their profit mechanisms is essential for traders evaluating such brokers. So, how do zero-spread brokers make money?

    Zero-spread brokers make money by charging commissions, marking up the price, or through wider spreads during volatile times. They might also make profits from liquidity providers, who offer them pricing in exchange for trade volume.

    Probably
    Commission =( real world bid + real world offer )/2
    Maybe plus a constant too
