Pure A-Book
Execution Model
At VantoTrade, every trade is routed directly to liquidity providers. We never take the opposite side of your trades - your success drives our success.
What Is A-Book Execution?
The A-Book model is a brokerage approach where client orders are passed directly to liquidity providers - major banks and financial institutions - without any dealing desk intervention.
You Place a Trade
You open a position on your MetaTrader platform. Your order is instantly sent to VantoTrade's trading infrastructure.
Order Routing (STP)
Our STP system immediately forwards your order to our pool of tier-1 liquidity providers - major banks and financial institutions.
Best Price Aggregation
Our technology aggregates quotes from multiple liquidity providers and selects the best available price for your execution.
Market Execution
Your trade is executed on the interbank market at the best available price. The entire process takes milliseconds.
How the A-Book Model Works in Practice
The term "A-Book" comes from the way brokers categorize their order flow. When a broker operates an A-Book model, it means that 100% of client orders are forwarded to external liquidity providers for execution on the open market. The broker itself never becomes a counterparty to your trade.
The Role of Liquidity Providers
Liquidity providers are the backbone of the A-Book model. These are typically tier-1 banks, major financial institutions, and prime brokers that participate in the global interbank foreign exchange market. They provide the prices you see on your trading platform and execute your orders against real market depth.
When you open a position with an A-Book broker like VantoTrade, your order is sent to a pool of these liquidity providers. Our aggregation technology compares quotes from multiple sources and routes your order to the provider offering the best price at that moment. This competitive environment benefits you directly - the more liquidity providers compete for your order, the tighter the spreads you receive.
Straight-Through Processing (STP)
STP is the technology that makes A-Book execution possible. It refers to the fully automated process of routing orders from your trading platform directly to liquidity providers without any manual intervention or dealing desk. The entire journey - from the moment you click "buy" or "sell" to the order being filled on the interbank market - happens in milliseconds.
This automation eliminates human delays and the potential for dealer intervention. There is no one sitting at a desk deciding whether to accept, reject, or re-quote your order. The system processes every order according to the same transparent rules, regardless of the trade size, direction, or the trader's history.
A Transparent Revenue Model
One of the most important aspects of the A-Book model is how the broker earns revenue. An A-Book broker's income comes from two sources: a small markup on the spread (the difference between bid and ask prices) and/or a fixed commission per lot traded.
This means that our revenue is directly tied to how much you trade, not to whether you win or lose. A trader who makes consistent profits and continues trading actively is the ideal client for an A-Book broker - because more trading volume means more commission revenue. This fundamental alignment of interests is what sets the A-Book model apart.
Advantages of A-Book Trading
The A-Book model provides fundamental advantages that directly benefit you as a trader.
No Conflict of Interest
Because we route your orders to liquidity providers, we have no financial incentive related to whether your trades win or lose. This means no doubts about profit withdrawals - your gains come from the market, not from our pocket. We genuinely want you to succeed and trade more.
Full Price Transparency
You see real market prices sourced directly from the interbank market. No artificial quotes, no price manipulation, no requotes - just genuine supply and demand reflected in every price tick.
Superior Execution Quality
With Straight-Through Processing (STP), your orders reach liquidity providers in milliseconds. This means faster fills, minimal slippage, and consistent execution quality during all market conditions.
A Healthy Partnership Ecosystem
The A-Book model creates a win-win for everyone: traders, Introducing Brokers, and VantoTrade. Since our revenue comes from trading volume, we benefit when traders succeed - which means IBs can confidently bring clients knowing there will never be conflicts over profitable traders.
What This Means for You as a Trader
Your Profits Are Always Yours
One of the most common concerns among forex traders is whether their broker will actually pay out their profits. With B-Book brokers, this concern has some basis in reality - since the broker is on the other side of your trade, your profit is their loss. This structural tension can sometimes lead to delays, additional verification requirements, or unfavorable withdrawal conditions.
With an A-Book broker, this concern simply does not exist. Your profits come from the market - from other market participants who took the opposite side of your trade through the liquidity provider network. VantoTrade has no financial exposure to your winning trades, which means there is never a business reason to complicate or delay your withdrawals. When you request a withdrawal, we process it - because your profit has no impact on our bottom line.
A Fair Environment for Introducing Brokers
The A-Book model creates a uniquely positive dynamic for partnership programs. In a B-Book environment, an Introducing Broker faces a paradox: they want to bring good, profitable traders to the broker, but the broker may actually prefer clients who lose money. This creates invisible tensions that can affect commission structures, rebate payments, and the overall partnership experience.
In our A-Book model, this paradox disappears entirely. VantoTrade earns from trading volume, so a profitable trader who keeps trading actively is the best possible client - for us and for the IB who referred them. IBs can promote VantoTrade with confidence, knowing that their most successful referrals will also be our most valued clients. There are no conflicting incentives, no hidden agendas - just a straightforward partnership built on shared success.
Price Integrity You Can Verify
Because our prices come directly from the interbank market through multiple liquidity providers, they are verifiable and transparent. You can compare the prices you see on your VantoTrade terminal with any independent market data source - they will match, because they come from the same source: the real forex market.
There is no proprietary pricing engine generating quotes designed to favor the broker. No artificial widening of spreads before your stop-loss is hit. No requotes when the market moves in your favor. What you see is what the market is offering - and that is exactly the price at which your order will be executed.
