5 Tips For Selecting a Liquidity Provider
Reputation, product availability, and trading conditions are some of the factors to consider when choosing an LP.
#1 Reputation, Regulation, and Transparency are Key
We intentionally made this our top consideration because nothing matters more than the level of trust you have in the partner you work with. Just because a firm is a liquidity provider, doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t vulnerable to bankruptcy. For this reason, it’s crucial to do your homework on the LP you decide to work with. Check out their regulatory status, complaints, and anything else questionable before signing paperwork.#2 Product Availability
It’s important to decide which trading products you’d like to offer before choosing an LP. Recently crypto currencies have been very popular, but not all LPs have begun offering this service. Would that be a deal breaker? What type of non-forex products, like diamonds, stocks, or energy are you looking to offer? Is there a certain region you wish to target?#3 Know Your Clients
To ensure a positive trading experience for your clients, it’s important to be up front with your LP about the type of traders you’ll be targeting and bringing. The reason this matters is that the pricing and other conditions are based on the type of business you are running. If an LP is expecting X and your broker delivers Y, it can result in execution and other problems for your clients.#4 Level of Service and Quality
Although this appears obvious, it’s important to ensure the type of service offered by the LP meets your needs. Do you have access to an account manager on your time zone? If you need 24 hour support, do you receive that with your current offer?#5 Conditions
Finally, the specific conditions offered by the LP are important to review before signing up. It’s suggested to have a few offers in mind so you can better compare and contrast.
