A dealing desk is an internal department at a broker that manually handles and may intervene in client order execution. Dealing desk brokers can re-quote prices, widen spreads at their discretion, or reject orders. This is the opposite of STP execution, where orders flow straight to liquidity providers without manual intervention.
You try to sell GBP/USD during a news release. A dealing desk broker may reject or re-quote your order because the price moved during the delay. A broker with fully automated execution, such as GCC Brokers, processes it without manual intervention and without requotes.
