Liquidity Bridge & Aggregation Solution
The Liquidity Bridge & Aggregation engine is the technical heart of any A-Book or Hybrid brokerage. It acts as a high-speed gateway that routes client orders from your trading terminal (MT4/MT5) directly to external Liquidity Providers (LPs). This solution is designed for fintech founders and institutional brokers who require transparency, speed, and the ability to aggregate price feeds from various sources into a single, optimized stream.
By utilizing our aggregation technology, you can ensure your clients always receive the tightest spreads available. The system automatically selects the best Bid and Ask prices across your pool of LPs, allowing you to remain competitive in the market while maintaining full control over your execution policies and risk exposure.
- Advanced Price Aggregation: Combines multiple liquidity sources into one "Best Bid/Best Offer" (BBO) stream for your clients.
- High-Speed Execution: Built on enterprise-grade FIX protocol to ensure orders are filled at the best possible price with minimal slippage.
- Customizable Routing Rules: Define exactly how and where orders are sent based on symbol, client group, or order volume.
- A-Book Transparency: Gain full visibility into your STP (Straight-Through Processing) workflows and execution quality.
Platform Overview
Our bridge technology is engineered for the high-frequency requirements of modern financial markets, ensuring stability even during periods of extreme volatility.
Why Liquidity Bridge?

- Dynamic Mark-ups: Easily manage your revenue by applying custom spreads or commissions per symbol or per client group.
- Scalability: Whether you process 100 or 100,000 trades a day, the bridge scales effortlessly with your volume.
- Multi-Asset Support: Execute Forex, Metals, Indices, and Crypto through a single unified bridge interface.
- Comprehensive Analytics: Track LP performance, rejection rates, and execution speed with built-in reporting tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to connect a new Liquidity Provider?
Once the LP provides the FIX credentials, we can typically have a new connection mapped and tested within 1 to 3 business days.
Does the bridge support both MT4 and MT5?
Yes. Our bridge is compatible with both MT4 and MT5, and it can even aggregate liquidity across multiple servers or different trading platforms simultaneously.
Can I set different mark-ups for different clients?
Absolutely. The bridge allows for granular mark-up profiles. You can apply specific spreads or commissions based on the client group on your trading server.
What happens if an LP goes offline during a trade?
Our bridge includes automated failover rules. If a connection is lost, the system can automatically reroute the order to the next best available LP in your aggregation pool.
What are the minimum volume requirements?
We do not enforce strict minimum volumes; however, our solution is best suited for brokers processing at least $10-50 million in monthly turnover to maximize the benefits of aggregation.
Is my trade data secure?
Yes. All bridge communication is performed over encrypted FIX sessions or VPNs. We do not store your trade data beyond the logs required for your own reporting and troubleshooting.
