HOW FOREX ORDERS ARE PROCESSED

*Each FCM/Dealer has its own procedures for processing customer orders.  The information below is provided for informational purposes only.

The forex FCM/Dealer will generally handle customer orders in one of two ways:

Immediate Offset of Customer Orders.  The forex FCM/Dealer may choose to immediately offset customer orders with another counterparty in the interbank market.  Depending on the FCM/Dealer, the FCM/Dealer may be compensated through the bid/ask spread and/or charge the customer a commission per transaction.  By immediately offsetting customer orders, the FCM/Dealer effectively reduces its risk exposure by not holding open positions (the other side of customer trades) in its own book.   

Working Customer Orders via a Trading Desk.  The forex FCM/Dealer may choose to work customer orders in the open market via a trading desk.  In simplest terms, once an FCM/Dealer takes the other side of a customer order, the open position is routed to a trading desk operated by the FCM/Dealer.  The traders on the trading desk then attempt to profit by trading the open position in the interbank market or within its own trading book.
