A liquidity provider (LP) is a financial institution — typically a large bank, hedge fund, or prime broker — that supplies buy and sell prices for tradable instruments. In an STP model, the broker routes client orders to one or more LPs, who compete to offer the best available price. More LPs generally means tighter spreads and deeper market depth.
When you buy 1 lot of EUR/USD through GCC Brokers, the order is routed via STP to multiple liquidity providers. The LP offering the best ask price fills your order. This happens electronically in milliseconds with no dealing desk involvement.
