Its just wrong. For starters, you're advertising a service that you're not providing. Secondly, you're basically running a twist on a Ponzi scheme. Eventually it will get out of hand.... if your customers have an incredible streak of good luck but no real trades to back them - how do you pay them?



The Ponzi scheme part applies in reverse to customers trading with leverage.

EDIT: Oh, that part also applies to banks with fractional reserve (i.e. all banks) but no discussion about the merits of that here please :)
