What is a STP Forex Broker?
Vantage utilises the Straight Through Processing (STP) technology model, which eliminates the need for a dealing desk. All orders are seamlessly channelled to the broker's liquidity providers, ensuring price execution at the bid/ask rates that these providers stipulate. In this context, liquidity providers constitute hedge funds, large banks, and investors, who essentially serve as counterparties for every trade.
Typically, an STP broker maintains an internal pool of liquidity, represented by various competing liquidity providers. These providers strive to offer the best bid/ask spreads for the broker's orders, bolstering the effectiveness and efficiency of the STP model. -
