Dealing Desk
A Dealing Desk is operated by brokers who act as Market Makers and typically make money from the spreads and/or commissions charged. Dealing Desks may or may not intervene in the execution of orders, depending on the Broker execution policy.
We understand that different clients have different needs. Therefore, we offer a wide selection of trusted, award-winning platforms and account types to choose from.
