Frequently Asked Questions

Explore the most common queries we receive and discover helpful insights.
Do you disclose your prime brokers?

Yes, Advanced Markets is backed by premier global banks UBS and Standard Chartered.

No. A true Prime of Prime is exclusively B2B, providing services to institutional clients including brokers who do not have direct access to a prime broker.

Advanced Markets maintains prime brokerage relationships with UBS AG and Standard Chartered Bank, offering clients access to Tier 1 liquidity. The firm also connects with top global liquidity providers including JP Morgan, XTX Markets, BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank, ensuring deep liquidity and efficient execution.

Yes. A true Prime of Prime (PoP) must maintain a Tier 1 FX prime brokerage relationship to access institutional liquidity and provide credit intermediation. This direct relationship with top-tier banks is what allows the PoP to extend institutional grade pricing, execution and clearing services to clients who wouldn’t otherwise qualify for a prime brokerage account.

What is the Advanced Markets Direct Market Access (DMA) Hub?

The Advanced Markets Direct Market Hub (DMA hub) provides our clients with the flexibility to customise their own technology and liquidity solutions. This system also includes the functionality to manage connectivity (bridge, FIX API and GUI), risk, prime brokerage and in-depth reporting.

FIX API (Financial Information Exchange Application Programming Interface) is an API that leverages the FIX protocol to enable real-time electronic trading. It connects FX liquidity makers with takers, allowing for direct low-latency communication between trading systems. In our case, FX FIX API provides clients with a direct connection to a specific Liquidity Provider or Aggregator, supporting fast reliable trade execution, order management and market data exchange ideal for institutional and algorithmic trading strategies.

Yes. In many cases, while Advanced Markets doesn’t provide a bridge directly, we work with selected third party bridge providers and often absorb the associated fees for clients using our liquidity. This effectively gives clients a free MT4/MT5 bridge solution depending on the setup and provider.

Hedge funds, asset managers and brokers should expect a Prime of Prime (PoP) to deliver institutional grade access to deep liquidity, ultra-low latency execution and credit intermediation via Tier 1 prime brokers. A true PoP offers:

  • Direct market access (DMA) with competitive pricing

  • High-quality trade fills and dynamic order execution

  • Stable reliable price feeds

  • Robust risk management tools and reporting

  • Flexible technology options (e.g. FIX API, MT4/MT5 bridges)

  • Strong operational support and regulatory compliance

  • A worry-free stable trading environment

  • Scalable infrastructure tailored for institutional growth

In essence, a PoP (Prime of Prime) bridges the gap between retail and institutional trading, empowering clients with professional-grade conditions, including competitive pricing and access to leveraged trading (margin), without the extensive capital requirements typically associated with a direct prime brokerage relationship.
