What is Straight Through Processing (STP)? And Why is it Important?

Learn about STP trading, its benefits, and how Naqdi’s STP model offers transparency, fast execution, and competitive spreads.

At Naqdi, we are committed to providing our clients with the best trading conditions in the market. A key advantage of trading with us is our Straight Through Processing (STP) model. But what exactly is STP, and why should it matter to you as a trader?

What is Straight Through Processing (STP)?

Straight Through Processing, or STP, is a brokerage model designed to process trades by directly routing them to liquidity providers such as banks and other major financial institutions, without any manual intervention or interference from a dealing desk. Essentially, this model ensures that when you place an order, it is automatically sent to the real market, offering a seamless, transparent trading experience.

By using the STP model, Naqdi removes intermediaries, allowing your orders to flow directly to the broader market. This straightforward process benefits traders with faster execution times, competitive spreads, and a conflict-free trading environment.

How Does STP Benefit Traders?

1. No Conflict of Interest: As an STP broker, Naqdi does not act as the counterparty to your trades. Unlike market maker brokers, who might take the opposite side of a trade, our model ensures that your orders go directly to liquidity providers. This approach aligns our interests with yours: we succeed when you succeed. Without conflicts of interest, you can trade confidently, knowing we prioritize your best interests.
2. Faster Execution: Speed is essential in trading, especially in fast-moving markets where every millisecond counts. STP allows for rapid trade execution because there is no dealing desk to slow things down. With reduced latency, you can enter and exit trades more precisely, capitalizing on even the smallest market movements. At Naqdi, we prioritize swift execution, giving you a competitive edge in volatile market conditions.
3. Competitive Spreads: One of the biggest benefits of STP is the access to tight, competitive spreads. By sending trades directly to liquidity providers, you benefit from the best available prices as providers compete to offer optimal rates. Naqdi leverages this model to ensure that you have access to low spreads, maximizing your profit potential on each trade.
4. Transparent Trading Environment: Transparency is at the heart of the STP model. With no dealing desk intervention, there’s no risk of price manipulation, no requotes, and no execution delays. What you see is what you get—ensuring a clear, straightforward trading experience. Naqdi is committed to providing a fully transparent trading environment, where you can trade with confidence, knowing your orders are handled fairly and without interference.
