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
