Quote Aggregation

Fair pricing from multiple sources

We combine quotes from leading banking and non-banking liquidity providers, forming the best price (BBO) and unified market depth. This is the foundation of fair NDD execution: no dealing desk, no conflict of interest.

Why Quote Aggregation Matters

Different benefits for different market participants

Operational Excellence

Aggregation reduces spreads and stabilizes price flow, decreasing operational risks and execution costs. You get predictable quality and TCA reports without direct contracts with each LP.

Sources and NDD Model

We operate on the NDD/A-book model: client orders are routed to external LP/ECN/exchanges. Quote sources include flows from leading market makers.

How It Works: Aggregation Pipeline

From multiple feeds to best price and depth

LP Connections
Step 1

Parallel secured channels (TLS) with stability and latency monitoring for each source

Multiple simultaneous connections to tier-1 liquidity providers with redundancy and failover capabilities

Normalization
Step 2

Symbol mapping (EURUSD vs 6E), precision unification, volume unit conversion

Standardize different LP formats into unified data structure for consistent processing

Time Sync
Step 3

All timestamps in UTC, drift tolerance limited; using PTP/NTP protocols

Microsecond-level time synchronization ensures proper sequencing and latency measurement

Spike Filtering
Step 4

Filter anomalous ticks using local/rolling thresholds, cross-check with reference sources

Statistical algorithms detect and remove price outliers that could distort BBO formation

BBO Formation
Step 5

Best bid = max Bid, best ask = min Ask across all sources considering firm/last look status

Real-time calculation of best available prices with quality scoring and latency weighting

Depth Aggregation
Step 6

Merge order book levels into unified Depth of Book; consolidate volumes by price levels

Combine multiple order books into single deep liquidity pool with proper volume aggregation

BBO and Depth Formation

How aggregation affects execution quality

Best Bid/Offer (BBO)

Best Bid/Offer is formed among all valid sources. This typically tightens spreads through quote competition.

Example: In calm EUR/USD market, Composite spread may range 0.1-0.3 pips vs 0.3-0.8 pips from single LP.

*Not guaranteed; depends on market conditions

Unified Depth

Combined depth increases available volume at top levels — higher chance of full execution and lower slippage.

Level 1 Volume+150% typical
Level 2-5 Volume+200% typical
