How TraderTool’s PriceOn Can Scale Up and Improve Your Business

Dealers have access to a broad feature set meant for several specific use cases.

Retail FX Brokers can optimize their market-making revenue in a far better way than just A book/B book. Five to ten times the P/L of an A book can be captured without taking the risk of a B Book. Holding inventory risk for minutes as opposed to hours or days significantly lowers P/L variability.

PriceOn™ empowers dealers to maintain control by providing evolved capability to scale up their business and increase competitiveness. Dealers have access to a broad feature set meant for several specific use cases:

▪️ Separate by client, currency pair, size of trade, and time of day.

▪️ Implement hybrid strategies beyond A and B book that maximize P&L often missed by A book hedges while not taking the risk of B booking.

▪️ Customize tailored feeds to increase your client base and win business lost to larger, more competitive players.

▪️ Reduce reliance on outside counterparties. These often one-way relationships can sometimes be fragile and sensitive.

▪️ Minimize hedging costs by placing passive bids and offers, driven from inventory to the market, capturing spread and becoming a valued firm skewed price market maker.

▪️ Increase trade yield by optimizing time to hedge each type of flow and implement strategies to maximize and capture spreads earned from this activity.

▪️ Use toxic flow to your advantage – passive bids and offers, driven from your inventory, can price flow once deemed unprofitable.

▪️ Opportunistic one-sided market making (or heavy skew) for prop trading P&L or execution of large customer orders.

A book/B book segmentation is not the optimal setup for a large segment of Retail FX Brokers. When analyzing flow profitability, many firms mix income from overnight financing with the spreads that user cross with that of P/L generated by market movement. Capturing the spread allows the dealer to further segment P/L on trades and differentiate the “VIG” capture from the risk of a position.

Where are the biggest opportunities?

▪️ Commonwealth currencies cross because of their relatively higher spreads. Spread capture plus rolls should amount to nearly 100% of the P/L that a typical B Book would capture with far higher consistency.

▪️ Emerging Market currencies where there is often > USD300 per USD1million of value embedded in the spread alone. These currencies are typically attracting far more conservative leverage. Spread capture plus rolls results in a far higher revenue capture per trade than traditional B Book.

▪️ One way commodity CFD instruments Metals (outside of gold), and Agricultural, do not lend themselves to B booking and trade on high spreads, therefore, A book gives away too much of the potential economics.

▪️ Crypto CFDs, and especially unleveraged crypto spot, particularly outside of BTC and ETH, is ideal for traditional market-making spread capture and not B Booking.
