Outsourced Dealing Room Support for FX & CFD Brokers
Deltar runs the dealing room function for FX and CFD brokers, 24 hours a day, five days a week. Our operators connect to your trading platform and liquidity environment through read-only API access, so you get professional exposure monitoring, A-book and B-book routing decisions, bridge oversight and platform administration without building a full in-house dealing desk.
Dealing Room and Dealing Desk: The Same Function
Brokers often use dealing room and dealing desk interchangeably. Both refer to the team that watches flow, manages exposure and keeps the trading environment aligned with the firm's risk policy. A dealing room may sound like a physical space, while a dealing desk may sound like a single workstation, but in practice they cover the same responsibilities. Deltar's outsourced dealing room support delivers that function remotely: experienced operators, documented procedures and the same visibility an in-house team would have.
Platform and Environment Integration
The engagement begins by connecting Verix to your trading platform reports and liquidity bridge. We read live position data, account and group settings, symbol configurations, leverage profiles and session schedules. Because the integration is read-only, your trading environment stays under your control. There is no requirement for write permissions, trading passwords or access to client funds. This setup gives our dealing room team the same operational picture an in-house desk would see, including net exposure by symbol, group-level margin utilisation, pending order books and open trade snapshots, updated in near real time.
Real-Time Exposure Monitoring
FX and CFD brokers carry exposure across multiple books, symbols and account groups at once. We monitor net and gross exposure continuously, with thresholds tailored to your risk policy. When a limit is breached, the operator on shift acknowledges the alert and acts under the agreed playbook, whether that means reducing B-book residual, hedging through the bridge, or escalating to your risk team. We also watch for concentration risk, where too much flow piles into one symbol or session, and for correlation risk across related instruments such as XAUUSD and EURUSD.
- Net and gross exposure by symbol, group and book
- Margin utilisation and stop-out proximity
- Concentration and correlation alerts
- Real-time breach escalation to your team
A-Book, B-Book and Hybrid Routing
Routing decisions are where dealing room discipline directly affects P&L. Deltar manages A-book, B-book and hybrid routing under procedures documented with your team before coverage starts. For A-book flow, we confirm hedge orders are routed through the bridge and filled by the intended liquidity provider. For B-book flow, we monitor residual exposure against agreed limits and act when concentration or volatility calls for a hedge. Hybrid models are handled symbol by symbol and group by group, with every decision logged in the daily report. Discretionary calls outside the playbook are escalated, never assumed.
Liquidity Bridge and LP Management
The bridge layer between your platform and liquidity providers is reviewed as part of daily dealing room services. We work with oneZero, PrimeXM, FXCubic, Tools for Brokers Trade Processor and Brokeree Liquidity Bridge. Our operators check that routing rules, symbol mapping, markup profiles and failover paths match the documented target state. When execution quality drifts, fill ratios drop, or rejection rates spike, we flag the issue and recommend the next step.

- LP fill ratio and rejection monitoring

24/5 Coverage and Daily Reporting
Dealing risk does not stop at the end of the business day. Deltar covers the Asian, European and US sessions in rotating shifts, including macro news windows and rollover. Each shift follows a written playbook that defines exposure limits, escalation paths and routing procedures. At the end of every trading day, you receive a written dealing report covering exposure, routing decisions, incidents, platform events and any open items that need attention. A weekly operations review keeps the procedure book current.
Pricing and Engagement Model
Engagements usually begin with a fixed-scope Health Check at $1,000, which documents your current dealing procedures, exposure limits, bridge setup and coverage gaps. If ongoing dealing room support is the right fit, we move to a monthly retainer sized to the scope: the number of symbols and account groups covered, the complexity of your bridge and LP stack, and the level of overnight or weekend support required. There are no hidden volume-based charges; the fee is agreed upfront and reviewed quarterly.
