Market Makers
Market makers or called dealing desk brokers represent a type of broker that internalize flows and are taking the opposite side of a transaction submitted by their clients. The market making broker is only quoting a feed of prices to its clients. These feeds may or may not be the exact same as the prices quoted on the interbank market.Any order a client enters is processed internally and never goes out to the market, except in rare cases where a market making brokerage identifies a client as a very high risk and chooses to route the flow to another liquidity provider.Such brokers are typically providing very quick execution, however an inherent conflict of interest is possible due to the fact that the brokers is making the bulk of its profits from client losses.Role of Market Makers in FX IndustryIn the FX space, a market maker quotes two-way prices for tradable currency pairs. In doing so these market makers quite literally make the market. In particular, a forex market maker performs three specific tasks.This includes setting bid and offer prices within a given currency pair, committing to accepting deals at these prices within certain constraints, and taking the resulting exposure on to their own book.In terms of accounting for this exposure onto their book, market makers can opt to hedge the exposure with another bank, pending favorable rates. How quickly or slowly, or how much risk they lay off will be at their own discretion.Market makers can make profit through several techniques. If these entities identify enough flow at both sides of their quote, they can simply collect the bid offer spread.Consequently, market makers can net off their exposure. Presently, large banks see huge flows of foreign currency transactions from their operations around the world in a multi trillion-dollar-a-day industry.

Settlement
Settlement in finance refers to the process when a buyer makes payment and receives the agreed-upon services or goods. The term is used on exchanges such as New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) when security changes hands. When the asset is transferred and placed in the new buyer’s name, it is considered settled. This process could take a few hours or several days after a trade is made. It depends on the clearance process. In the United States, the settlement date for marketable stocks is usually 2 business days or T+2 after the trade is executed, and for listed options and government securities it is usually 1 day after the execution. Conversely in Europe, settlement date has also been adopted as 2 business days settlement cycles T+2.Settlement ExplainedA settlement is also the process of the payment of an outstanding account balance, an open invoice or charge. The electronic settlement system is a relatively new construct that has only become a standard in the past thirty years.For example, in real estate finance, you have settlement when the funds are accepted, and the deed to the property is traders to the new owner. Settlement can also mean an adjustment or agreement reached in matters of finance or business. For example, we have settled with the bank or the credit card company. A number of risks arise for the parties during the settlement process. These are effectively managed by the process of clearing, which follows trading and precedes settlement. By extension, clearing involves modifying those contractual obligations so as to facilitate settlement, often by netting and novation.
