Liquidity providers
Coverage client's orders on the Forex Liquidity Providers
Description of process of client's transmission and broker's benefits
In recent years the market situation has changed as well as the client. There are no abrupt changes in exchange rates. All brokers offer high leverage which increases risks for the broker. Also on the broker risks affect the ever-growing competitive offers that generate different client earnings with client's no-risk schemes such as: "bonus hunting", "swap hunting", "arbitration" and others. The percentage of clients who earns in the Forex market has grown. Naturally, the broker who do care about their reputation and has no adequate financial reserves has to pass the high-risk customers to larger players (liquidity providers). Liquidity providers have an access to the liquidity of the banks and do can not afford to pay a large income of his client.
The first advantage of transmission of client's requests to liquidity provider is descension of broker's risks. If the client gets profit the broker does not worry about where to get money to pay client's profit as a broker has a profit on the account at the account of liquidity provider.
The second advantage is the income from client's trading. Broker's income that transmits his clients is formed by markup. Thus, the broker receives income from customer trading in any case, even if the client get profit.
The third advantage is that the client does not feel negative interference of broker in his trading and thus has no problems with the execution of orders. This increases customer loyalty to the broker.
The fourth advantage is that the liquidity provider provides with quotes feed and broker can extend the range of trading instruments offered to its clients through quotation source of provider and to refuse in part or entirely on third-party providers to save the money on it.
If risk descension and retention of a major customer is all logical and understandable, then look at how the broker earns in transmitting of his customers to liquidity provider.
Example of Broker's profit
1. Broker registers a coverage account at liquidity provider (LP) which will receive transmitted client's orders. Broker tops up the coverage account to start service work.
2. We offer a liquidity provider with the average five-digit spread of 6 points (0.6 in case of four-digits). The prices at the time of the transaction on the account liquidity provider are
ASK 1.31590
BID 1.31584
Broker's average spread is 20 five-digit points (2 in case of four-digit). The prices which the client sees the Broker's terminal are
ASK 1.31597
BID 1.31577
As you can see the broker provides the client with a spread wider than it is in the coverage account at LP. Execution on the server of LP happens at the best price.
3. The client opens a BUY position with 1 lot for the ASK price 1.31597. On the liquidity provider's side the order is opened at a price of 1.31590, ie the price is better than client's price on 7 points.
4. When client closes the order there will be the same. Client closes at a BID price 1.31663 and on the liquidity provider's side order closes at a price of 1.31670 which is 7 points better than the client's price again.
As a result if the client gets profit at broker, the broker receives profit on the liquidity provider's account but more than 14 points due to expanded markup.
If the figures, if the customer has earned $660 then Broker earned $800. In case of payout to the customers the Broker gives to client his earnings of $660 and gets a rest of profit of $140 with which he pays $2 (=$138) commission to LP.
