Beim Forex- und CFD-Handel sind Liquidit\u00e4tsanbieter in der Regel Tier-1-Banken, gro\u00dfe Nicht-Banken-Market-Maker und spezialisierte Handelsunternehmen, die rund um die Uhr Kurse stellen. Prop-Trading-Firmen leiten die Auftr\u00e4ge der Trader \u00fcber einen oder mehrere Liquidit\u00e4tsanbieter weiter, die wiederum f\u00fcr die tats\u00e4chliche Ausf\u00fchrung und Preisgestaltung sorgen, die auf der Plattform des Traders angezeigt wird.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wenn ein Trader eine Order auf einem Prop-Firm-Konto platziert, bleibt der Trade nicht tatenlos im System der Firma liegen. Die Order wird an den Liquidit\u00e4tsanbieter der Firma weitergeleitet, der sie mit verf\u00fcgbaren Kauf- oder Verkaufsauftr\u00e4gen zum aktuellen Marktpreis abgleicht. Firmen mit Zugang zu mehreren Liquidit\u00e4tsanbietern k\u00f6nnen Quotierungen aggregieren, um dem Trader den besten verf\u00fcgbaren Geld- und Briefkurs (Bid und Ask) anzuzeigen, was zu engeren Spreads und einer konsistenteren Ausf\u00fchrung f\u00fchrt. Hinter den Kulissen \u00fcbernimmt der Technologie-Stack der Firma dieses Routing automatisch, sodass Trader einen einzigen Preis-Feed sehen, selbst wenn mehrere LPs dazu beitragen.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"glossary-category":[131],"class_list":["post-6513","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary-category-trader-glossary"],"acf":{"target_keyword":"liquidity provider ","glossary_post_image":"","key_takeaway":"Key Takeaway","key_takeaway_description":"A liquidity provider is a financial institution or market maker that supplies the buy and sell orders behind a trading venue. Prop firms route trader orders through one or more LPs, and the quality of those connections directly affects spreads, execution, and slippage.","faq":"<b>Who are the main liquidity providers in forex?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The top tier includes major global banks that quote the most liquid currency pairs. Beyond the banks, large non-bank market makers and specialized firms also act as LPs, particularly in retail markets.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>How does liquidity affect spreads and slippage?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deep liquidity means more buyers and sellers at or near the current price. Tighter spreads result from this, and slippage during normal conditions tends to be minimal. When liquidity thins out, such as around news events or in low-volume sessions, spreads widen and slippage increases regardless of which LPs the firm uses.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>What does tier 1 mean in liquidity providers?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tier 1 refers to the top category of liquidity providers, usually major global banks with the largest balance sheets and the widest access to interbank markets. These institutions quote the most liquid currency pairs around the clock and are the ultimate source of liquidity for most forex trading. Tier 2 and tier 3 providers typically source their liquidity from tier 1 banks and pass it through to brokers and prop firms with additional handling.<\/span>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/6513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary-category?post=6513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
