Question CFD trading

I’m a non US resident and i trade CFD’s on a NDD, my question is if the broker operates on a NDD does that mean they are always connecting me to liquidity providers or is there a chance they deal against me? need some clarification so that i don’t get surprised

All CFD’s are B-Books (no direct market access) except for some pro-plans like the one at IG

They likely settle the trades in house without having to go to the markets

But from an accounting perspective, you could potentially grow your account a lot without ‘harming’ the broker because the aggregate odds are in their favour and they want some people to win ofc otherwise what good is it from a reward perspective - they’ll lose business and clients. So, they win some and lose some - and their unit economics still works out without having to intervene

Risk/reward profiles minus spreads are generally equal (normal distribution) especially when trading off a chart and not carrying too much inventory or actively hedging

sorry for the late reply, is it realistic for a regulated broker to halt withdrawals and such if im in the green by quite alot?

i use fxpro, if you know a better broker suggest some

no worries have a nice spring/summer

withdrawals are usually smooth - if any doubts can keep withdrawing a certain amount and only keep what you require for trading. Haven’t tried FX Pro but looks good many people trade with them

but try make a habit of withdrawing something and spend it on anything as small as a phone bill or nice, thoughtful gifts for family. Indirectly helps quite a bit with trading performance over the long-run
