Hub and Spoke Trading

This is used in multicounterparty portals.

Each participant in the network posts bids and offers, making a real market. Hub and Spoke trading allows the traders to see other bids and offers from. An order entry ticket with follow-up trade confirmation. Other traders on the platform and allows the trader to choose the counterparty. This provides excellent transparency a market depth and tighter, more competitive pricing, because there is no trading desk and no price manipulation.
The disadvantage of this type of platform is that a liquidity crisis can occur if all the participants decide to trade on one side and there is no one to take the other side of the trade. This can happen if some damaging news hits the market, prompting traders to sell a particular currency. If no one is buying, that currency will drop until a buyer steps in.

Hub and Spoke trading is similar to the process used on the NASDAQ level II with multiple market makers posting bids and offers. Its mechanism gives the trader the closest view of a whole market available today. You will find this forex trading mechanism in institutional platforms such as Fxall, Currenex, and State Streets FX Connect.
Three retail platforms offer a version of hub and spoke trading Hotspotfx, CoesFX, and GFTs Inter Trader Exchange, which allows traders to trade directly with each other. This trading mechanism is the future of retail Forex trading.
