How they (dealers) handle 0.1 lot positions ?

Actually my question was about real mini account less than $500 funds. I need to know that do they open ticket at interbank when we open 0.1 lot (10,000) at their trading platform ? I was told one of the FXCM chat person that they apply collecting small lots procedure which means they collect small positions until they have larger lots and then they open a real position on interbank. In this matter, can we call this situtation as an offshore forex business like GCI applies ? Also in this scenario they will be happy when we lost all of our funds (because the all mini-account funds will be stay at their original place --- brokers bank --- and actually there will be no open tickets on interbank). Now two crital questions arise after this little analysis:

a- How are more profitable for their business for mini-forex accounts : Chronic losers or disciplined winners ?

b-If they like chronic losers, they will also hate scalp traders. Won't they ? In this scenario what is the best suggestion for forex mini-account holders ?
