Forex Business Model
Forex trading is different from investing in shares or futures, because a broker can choose to trade against his clients. This system used by “Dealing Desk” Market Maker brokers is known as “B booking”. “No Dealing Desk” ECN/STP brokers send all of their clients’ trades to the real market or to liquidity providers. They therefore use the “A booking” system. However, many forex brokers use a hybrid model which uses a B Book for clients who lose money and an A Book for the profitable clients.
