Forex market trade lifecycle [infographic]

[zebrafx]

You’ve probably wondered how a Forex market trade looks like from the inside, what data is being transmitted and where, who controls the elements of the information transfer chain, who owns and maintains technological solutions?

In fact, many Forex brokers do not disclose this scheme, and what’s more, many brokers actually represent a dealing desk model holding clients positions on B Book – i.e. trading against clients – and of course they do not require such a Trade Lifecycle scheme, except for using it as a wallpaper.

For a true STP/NDD-broker, however, such a Trade Lifecycle scheme is a daily reality, not devoid of beauty. Full cycle of the Forex trade includes communication between the terminal, bridge, price aggregator and liquidity providers, which is as technologically perfect as you can imagine. As a result, this is why we decided to show it to you in its completeness. That being said, it is clear that all the elements and processes of the scheme are being continuously improved.
