DMA Broker (Direct Market Access)
Also called: DMA
A broker that gives clients direct access to the underlying market's order book — typical of CFD providers, less common in spot FX.
Definition
DMA lets traders interact directly with liquidity providers’ order books rather than the broker’s bucket. Spreads can be tighter and execution more transparent, at the cost of higher account minimums and complexity.
