Liquidity bridge and LP management
The bridge decides where each order goes and at what price. Get the routing, mapping or LP choice wrong and you pay for it in slippage, rejections and hedging costs on every trade. We set up and review the execution chain so it matches your risk plan.
What we cover
- Bridge configuration and routing rules, matched to your A-book and B-book plan.
- LP selection and onboarding, including what to ask an LP before you sign and how to compare quotes fairly.
- Symbol mapping between platform and LP, including contract sizes and naming, which is a common source of silent errors.
- Execution quality review: slippage, rejections, latency and fill rates by symbol, session and LP.
Why it matters for prop firms
Prop firms that hedge funded traders, or that are moving toward a broker model, need real execution, not simulated fills. A challenge pass with frictionless fills is not proof of edge once real liquidity is involved.
Depth of market, slippage and session liquidity are inputs to your payout model. Pricing them wrong makes funded accounts look safer than they are.
Results
Execution and routing redesign is one of the main levers behind the 30 to 50% lower execution and payout costs our team has delivered for firms in past roles and engagements. Results vary firm by firm and are not a guarantee.
What you get
- A documented bridge and routing configuration
- Symbol and contract-size mapping, checked line by line
- An execution quality report you can repeat monthly
- An LP comparison and onboarding checklist
- Routing rules tied to your risk triggers
Figures reflect past roles and engagements. Past results do not guarantee future results; outcomes vary firm by firm.
Questions
What does a liquidity bridge do?
It connects your trading platform to liquidity providers and decides how each order is routed, priced and filled, including which flow is kept internally and which is passed to the market.
What is A-book and B-book?
A-book means passing a trader's flow to the market or an LP. B-book means the firm takes the other side internally. Most firms use a mix, with rules deciding which accounts go where.
Can you help us choose an LP?
Yes. We help define requirements, compare offers and check symbol coverage, depth and terms before you sign.
Do you work with brokers as well as prop firms?
Yes. Bridge, routing and execution quality work is the same core discipline for FX and CFD brokers.
