STP Execution

Why STP Matters

Straight-Through Processing means fully automated execution, with no manual intervention in order execution, no requotes and no filtering by profitability.

The basics

What Is STP Execution?

STP stands for Straight-Through Processing. In an STP model, trade orders are processed electronically without manual intervention from a dealing desk, and client positions are hedged with liquidity providers such as banks, prime brokers and non-bank market makers.

1

Your order is submitted

You place a buy or sell order on MetaTrader 5. The order reaches our execution engine.

2

Hedged with liquidity providers

Our system aggregates quotes from multiple tier-1 liquidity providers. STP is our primary execution model: we hedge client positions with our liquidity providers.

3

Executed at market price

Your order is filled automatically at the available market price, with no manual intervention. Any markup is included in the spread you see, and there are no hidden fees.

Know the difference

A-Book vs B-Book — Why It Matters

The execution model your broker uses determines whether they profit from your success or your failure. This isn't a technical detail — it's a fundamental conflict of interest question.

How an A-Book broker works

A-Book

  • Orders routed to external liquidity providers
  • Broker earns from spreads and commissions
  • Broker profits when you trade more, not when you lose
  • Fully automated execution
  • Profitable traders are welcome
How a market maker works

B-Book (Market Maker)

  • Orders kept internally — broker takes the other side
  • Broker profits when clients lose money
  • Incentive to widen spreads, reject orders, or re-quote
  • Dealing desk may intervene on large trades
  • Profitable traders may face restrictions

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

STP stands for Straight-Through Processing. It means trade orders are processed electronically, without passing through a dealing desk and without manual intervention. At GCC Brokers, STP is our primary execution model: we hedge client positions with our liquidity providers.

In an A-Book model, the broker passes orders to external liquidity providers and earns from spreads and commissions. In a B-Book (market maker) model, the broker takes the other side of client trades internally, so the broker profits when clients lose.

STP execution gives you real market spreads from liquidity providers. During high liquidity periods (London/New York sessions), spreads are typically very tight. During low liquidity (e.g. rollover), spreads may widen — but this reflects actual market conditions, not broker manipulation.

Yes. STP execution suits algorithmic trading because there is no manual step that can reject or delay orders. Expert Advisors and algorithmic strategies are welcome, including scalping, grid and news trading. Fair-use terms in our Client Agreement apply.

We earn from the spread (the difference between bid and ask prices) and from commissions on our Zero account type. The more our clients trade, the more we earn — so our incentive is to provide the best possible experience to keep clients trading.

Generally yes. STP removes the dealing desk step, so orders are processed and filled faster. At GCC Brokers, execution typically takes 25–50 ms.
