Outsourced Dealing Room Support for FX & CFD Brokers

    Deltar runs the dealing room function for FX and CFD brokers with [24/7 or 24/5] coverage. Verix connects to your trading platform and liquidity environment through read-only access for monitoring. Where the agreed mandate includes active dealing responsibilities, Deltar uses only the operational permissions defined during onboarding. This gives you 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. Whether you call it a forex dealing room or a dealing desk, the discipline is the same.

    Platform and Environment Integration

    The engagement begins by connecting Verix to your MetaTrader 5 environment and liquidity bridge. We read live position data, account and group settings, symbol configurations, leverage profiles and session schedules. Verix monitoring connects through read-only access. Where the agreed mandate is monitoring, recommendation and escalation only, no operational permissions are required. Where the engagement includes active dealing, hedging or platform administration, the required permissions are defined in advance, restricted to the agreed responsibilities and documented during onboarding. Deltar never takes custody of 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. 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 Centroid. 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.

    • Routing rule and symbol mapping checks
    • LP fill ratio and rejection monitoring
    • Failover configuration review

    [24/7 or 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.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes. In the FX and CFD industry, dealing room and dealing desk describe the same function: the team and systems that monitor exposure, manage routing, oversee liquidity bridges and protect the broker or prop firm from market and operational risk. Dealing room is the broader operational term, while dealing desk often refers to the same activity in a more focused execution context. Deltar provides outsourced dealing room support that covers every responsibility an in-house dealing desk would carry.

    Deltar's dealing room services cover real-time exposure monitoring, A-book and B-book routing decisions, liquidity bridge and LP oversight, platform administration, incident escalation and daily reporting. Verix monitoring connects through read-only access. Any operational permissions required for active dealing, routing or platform administration are agreed in advance and limited to the documented mandate. Coverage runs [24/7 or 24/5].

    We support MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, Match-Trader and TradeLocker, alongside liquidity bridges from oneZero, PrimeXM, FXCubic, Tools for Brokers Trade Processor and Centroid. This lets us deliver consistent dealing room support across most FX and CFD broker technology stacks without changing your core infrastructure.

    Our operators monitor net and gross exposure by symbol, account group, book and server in real time. Verix aggregates position data from the trading platform and liquidity bridge so we can spot concentration risk, one-sided flow, margin utilisation and stop-out proximity as they develop. Alerts are sent the moment a defined limit is breached, and the on-shift operator acts under the agreed playbook.

    Where hedging and routing form part of the agreed mandate, Deltar follows exposure limits, triggers and procedures defined with the client in writing. Activities outside the agreed mandate are escalated to the client's authorised team. We track A-book hedging through the bridge, B-book residual exposure and hybrid models that split flow by symbol, account group or session, and every routing decision is logged in the daily dealing report.

    Verix monitoring connects through read-only access. Where Deltar's agreed mandate is monitoring and escalation only, no operational permissions are required. Where the engagement includes active dealing, hedging, routing or platform administration, the required permissions are agreed in advance, restricted to the documented responsibilities and defined during onboarding.

    Coverage runs around the clock. Shifts follow documented playbooks for exposure management, news and event windows, rollover and platform administration. Breaches and exceptions are escalated in real time, and a written dealing report is delivered every day.

    Most engagements begin with a fixed-scope Health Check at $1,000. Ongoing outsourced dealing room support is then priced as a monthly retainer based on the number of symbols and account groups covered, the complexity of your bridge and LP setup, and the level of overnight or weekend support required.

    The onboarding schedule depends on the agreed coverage, documented procedures and required access. It includes documenting your risk policy, exposure limits, escalation matrix and routing procedures. Verix monitoring uses read-only access, while any permissions needed for active responsibilities are defined and restricted during onboarding.
