MCXNow, Crypsy, BTCT, BTC-E?
I'm conducting a survey to determine the actual profitability of the popular exchanges.
Does anyone have any idea of what the volume is for these exchanges? What these exchanges make weekly or monthly and how we could find out?

You seem to be a bit confused. MCXNow is pure scam. Cryptsy and BTC-e are arguably functional altcoin marketplaces, and the latter attempts to offer a fiat exchange. BTCT was a wannabe stock exchange that has long since shut down. What are you trying to find out, exactly?

They are making lots of money, but on the other hand they are the main target of government and hacker. Good luck keeping your money safe..

Sounds like butter coin will follow bex.io steps .. you going to be like a broker guess not exactly exchange ... an exchange holds far more valuable information ...

By the end of next month at the latest we will have permanently left behind 3 digits. You can quote me on this.

Pretty amazing if your name is Ukyo / Jon Montroll, and you treat all of your customers' deposits as going into your own personal wallet. Not to mention the other exchanges that vanished suddenly.
To be serious though, I'd imagine the profits are massive. If you get big, you'd have to spend a lot on hardware, and you should be spending tons on security analysis and other good developers, but even after those costs are taken away, it has to be wildly profitable.

Assuming the volume numbers given by Cryptsy's own API are accurate, in the last 24 hours they have made about 6BTC on fees (0.2% of 3043). BTC-e reports 10,000 BTC trade volume for last 24h in BTC/USD market alone (~20BTC in fees).

I'm conducting a survey to determine the actual profitability of the popular exchanges. Nobody releases audited numbers, so you don't know. In theory, running a large Bitcoin exchange should be reliably profitable. In practice, over half of all Bitcoin exchanges have gone bust. There's an enormous temptation in financial services companies to speculate with the customer's money. This was a major cause of the 2008 financial collapse. In the Bitcoin world, with no audits, it's probably common.

Extremely profitable that's why it is so insane that mt gox has not gone through any effort to fix their issue or even offer competent customer relations.

Gox probably borrowed a lot of their customers coins early on without permission and the price jumped and they could not catch up buying back. Just my opinion.

If it's a Registered MSB in the USA, then it costs a mint just to get started. Would be to high of a risk investment for me personally. But no risk no reward.

Well now it would be a high risk investment unless your exchange service brings something new or a new level of security.

They make huge amounts of money, but you should also see the opposite side. Hosting fee, support fees, downtimes and all. Its a high risk, there are hacks all the time. You also have to contribute the security needed, and developers... But yea they do make a lot of money.

If you were to multiply their average daily trading volume by ~.5% then you will calculate their revenue.
To calculate their costs is more complicated. They need to pay for support (likely their biggest expense), network access, cloud computing, AML/KYC staff.
