What is a liquidity pool?

A liquidity pool is a group of traders who come together to form a single trading book. In a traditional trading book, a broker acts as the counterparty to every customer. By contrast, a liquidity pool has multiple traders holding positions against each other. Each trader in the liquidity pool is responsible for their position. No single trader has a position large enough to alter the market. To trade in a liquidity pool, you're joining a network of traders. You're all working together to find and take advantage of trading opportunities. You're also all sharing in the risk of those trading positions. You'll be working with other traders to efficiently manage your risk. You'll also be sharing in the profits that result from a successful trading strategy.

How do liquidity pools work?

In a liquidity pool, a group of traders shares the same trading account. They also use the same trading strategy. Traders in a liquidity pool can take both long and short positions. They often specialize in a specific sector of the market. For example, a liquidity pool that specializes in currencies might focus on trading the Indian Rupee, Japanese yen, Australian dollar, and other currencies. Traders who specialize in a single sector tend to be more successful than those who trade a variety of markets. When it's time to trade, the members of a liquidity pool enter their intended positions in a shared trading account. They also enter their desired exit positions. The trading software calculates the profits and losses associated with each position in the account. The software then calculates the net profit or loss for each trader. The software uses this information to assign profits and losses to each trader. The trading software then transfers funds between the trading accounts.
