      The View from the Engine Room

      Part II · March 2026

      How are brokers really managing risk in one of the most volatile markets in recent memory? Gold at record highs, oil behaving like a meme stock, Trump moving markets with a single post, and crypto exchanges quietly building the audience numbers that traditional brokers can only dream of.

      LiquidityFinder founder Sam Low brings together four of the most operationally experienced voices in broker technology for an unfiltered discussion on what is actually happening inside the engine room.

      Most FX and CFD brokers believe their reporting is accurate. Few can explain precisely how their volume figures are calculated, how spread revenue is derived, or how multi-currency denominations affect their net profit numbers. Inaccurate brokerage reporting is one of the industry's least discussed problems - management teams are making decisions, filing regulatory returns and reporting to stakeholders based on figures that contain systematic errors. This article explains why accurate brokerage reporting is genuinely complex, what the most common sources of error are, and what brokers can do to get their numbers right.
