Expanding our liquidity network

Since launch we have steadily added liquidity providers to deepen the book behind every quote you see. Liquidity is not a static feature of a platform. It is a network that needs constant maintenance, measurement, and expansion. Each new relationship improves the odds that our clients get a fair fill in every market condition.

This update covers what changed, which instruments benefit most, and how we measure the improvement. We added two additional tier-one banks to our pricing stream and expanded our non-bank market maker panel. The result is more competitive pricing on major pairs and deeper books on crosses that previously had limited liquidity.

EUR/USD and GBP/USD were already deep, but the extra competition has tightened top-of-book pricing further. The more noticeable improvement is in pairs like AUD/NZD, EUR/SEK, and USD/NOK, where additional liquidity has reduced average spreads during the European morning. These are exactly the sessions where Scandinavian and Central European clients are most active.

We measure liquidity in three ways: quoted spread at rest, average slippage on market orders, and fill ratio during volatile periods. All three metrics improved after the expansion. The most important from a trader's perspective is slippage, because it captures what actually happens when an order is executed, not just what the screen showed before.

This work continues behind the scenes. We review liquidity performance monthly and rebalance provider weights when one source underperforms. Our goal is not to have the most providers; it is to have the right providers at the right times. Quality of liquidity beats quantity.

For clients, the practical effect is simpler: better fills, more stable spreads, and less slippage around macro events. These improvements are not dramatic on any single trade, but they compound over thousands of trades. That is the value of a well-maintained liquidity network.
