What prop firms need
What a proprietary trading firm needs from an LP.
Prop firms run active, often systematic flow across many traders, so the liquidity relationship has to deliver on depth, speed, access and control at once — not just headline spreads.
Deep, low-latency liquidity
Aggregated tier 1 bank and non-bank sources give the depth and speed active and systematic strategies rely on, so size fills without walking the book.
Direct market access
DMA lets traders place orders directly against the underlying book rather than an internal price — transparency, control and lower latency.
Tight aggregated spreads
Best-price composition across competing feeds compresses spreads and reduces flicker versus a single thin source.
Scale on one relationship
Run a full funded-trader programme behind a single connection, with markups, limits and risk applied centrally as the base grows.
Risk controls
Configurable exposure, margin and position limits, plus real-time monitoring, to manage many traders without manual intervention.
Full STP, no conflict
Flow routes straight through with no dealing desk taking the other side — no conflict with the firm's own traders, and pricing you can audit.
The PBL prop-firm offering
One relationship behind your whole trader base.
A prop firm connects once to PrimeBrokerLiquidity's aggregated feed and runs its funded-trader programme behind that single relationship. We handle the liquidity aggregation, credit intermediation and routing; you configure markups, exposure limits and risk parameters centrally and apply them across every trader. As the programme scales, there are no new bilateral liquidity relationships to integrate and reconcile — the same feed, controls and reporting extend to more traders on the connection you already run.

Common questions
Prop firm liquidity, answered.
What does a prop firm need from a liquidity provider?
A proprietary trading firm needs deep, low-latency liquidity, direct market access, tight aggregated spreads and reliable execution under load, plus the ability to scale many funded traders on a single relationship with granular risk controls. Consistent pricing, clean reporting and full straight-through processing — so there is no dealing-desk conflict with the firm's own traders — round out the requirements.
Can a prop firm scale many funded traders on one relationship?
Yes. A prop firm connects once to PrimeBrokerLiquidity's aggregated feed and runs its funded-trader programme behind that single relationship, with configurable markups, exposure limits and risk parameters applied centrally. This avoids integrating and reconciling separate liquidity relationships as the trader base grows.
Which markets can prop-firm traders access?
PrimeBrokerLiquidity provides multi-asset liquidity across more than six asset classes — FX spot and forwards, metals, indices, commodities, equities and CFDs — from one aggregated feed and one integration, so a prop firm can offer a broad instrument set to its traders through a single connection.
