Introduction:
Many brokers underestimate the importance of a professional Dealing Desk. However, without one, they face risks that can significantly impact profitability and operational stability. In this blog, we’ll explore the true costs of not having a Dealing Desk and why it’s a crucial investment for every brokerage.
1. Unmanaged Profitable Traders
Excessive profits from certain traders can erode your B-Book revenue. Without proper management, brokers may fail to identify and control these traders in time, resulting in substantial losses.
2. Unmonitored Toxic Activity
In today’s market, exploitative software like HFT and arbitrage tools are easily accessible. Without a Dealing Desk, these harmful activities can go undetected, leading to significant financial risks.
3. Reactive Instead of Proactive Decisions
Without expert oversight, brokers are often forced into reactive decisions. Moving traders to the A-Book only after they’ve generated large profits means brokers miss the opportunity to prevent losses proactively.
4. Lack of Strategic Guidance
A Dealing Desk provides structured consultation to maximize profits and improve risk management. Without it, brokers lose access to actionable insights, limiting their ability to make evidence-based decisions.
Conclusion:
The cost of not having a Dealing Desk goes beyond financial losses—it impacts your brokerage’s ability to remain competitive. At Amun Consulting, our Dealing Desk services
