Direct Price Stream

A Direct Price Stream is a live, real-time feed of bid and ask prices provided directly by a liquidity provider, bank, or exchange to a trader or broker. It offers transparent pricing without intermediary markup and is typically available to institutional traders and ECN/STP brokers.

Example

The institutional trader subscribed to a direct price stream from a top-tier liquidity provider, ensuring the tightest possible spreads on major currency pairs.
