What Direct Trading Does
Educational resource on direct market access — how orders are placed and matched without a traditional intermediary. Not financial advice.
What it means to route an order to an exchange yourself instead of through a dealer's desk.
The order book, bids and asks, and the matching engine that pairs every buyer with a seller.
Market, limit, and stop orders — what each instructs the exchange to do, with examples.
Who oversees exchanges and brokers, and the protections and limits that apply to traders.
Commissions, spreads, and slippage — the real cost of a trade beyond the ticker price.
Volatility, leverage, and liquidity — the ways trading loses money, explained before you start.
How Direct Trading Works
An order specifies what to buy or sell, how much, and at what price limit — then routes to the exchange.
The matching engine pairs the order against the book — price first, then time priority.
After execution, clearing and settlement transfer the asset and the money — the unglamorous step that makes it real.
