truly a great comparison. the only bonus an adw gets is the breakage.
when a stock trader places his trade on E-Trade, his order goes in and either gets filled to a market order or a limit order. the clearing house gets filled filled at the very best possible price often times getting the fill 1/2 cent better than the customer. if a customer has an order for 10,000 shares of an equity, the brokerage firm makes the an added $50 over and above the commission.
