Main Topic Notes
Sponsored by Pepperstone
Ever wondered what your broker really does with your trade once you hit “buy”?
Are they hedging it? Taking the other side? Betting against you?
In this episode, I break down the difference between A-booking and B-booking, explains how most modern brokers actually manage risk, and answers the question that matters most: should you even care?
You’ll learn:
- What A-book and B-book models actually are
- How risk is managed in hybrid models
- Why prop firms are pure B-book (and what that means)
Whether you’re new or experienced, this episode gives you a straight-talking look at broker mechanics… no nonsense, no conspiracy theories
