WILMINGTON, DE — WOUFX LLC this week released a detailed breakdown of how it generates revenue, outlining a commission-only execution structure the company says has eliminated conflicts of interest since its launch in an industry long criticized for opaque broker incentives.
In foreign exchange trading, brokers frequently market platforms, bonuses, and high leverage while offering little explanation of how they actually make money. WOUFX said that lack of transparency can create incentives where rapid client losses are economically convenient for brokers operating as counterparties to customer trades.
WOUFX said it has operated exclusively under an A-Book execution model from inception, routing all client orders to external liquidity providers and earning revenue solely from commissions. The company said it does not apply spread or swap markups, does not profit from client trading losses, and does not take the opposite side of customer positions. As a result, it assumes no market risk and excludes B-Book or hybrid execution models at both procedural and documentation levels.
“How a broker earns money directly shapes how it treats client risk,” the company said in its analysis. “When revenue comes solely from commission, long-term client trading becomes the foundation of business sustainability.”
That revenue structure also explains what WOUFX does not offer. The company said deposit bonuses and extreme leverage provide no economic benefit in a commission-only model. Instead, WOUFX capped leverage at 1:200, a level it said reduces forced liquidations during routine market volatility, gives traders greater flexibility to manage positions, and shifts activity away from short-term speculation toward risk control.
The company argued that once revenue is decoupled from client losses, acting as a counterparty becomes economically illogical. In that context, A-Book execution is not a marketing claim, WOUFX said, but the direct outcome of its underlying business economics.
WOUFX acknowledged that alternative broker structures can generate higher short-term margins, but said they also increase conflicts of interest and shorten the average lifespan of client accounts. The firm said its model prioritizes durability and repeat trading over immediate profitability.
The company framed its analysis as an invitation for traders to ask a question it says is rarely addressed directly in the FX industry: whether it is profitable for a broker when clients trade cautiously and over the long term. Under a commission-only model, WOUFX said, that answer is built into the system.
