When there is nothing left, argue over the dictionary definition. I am talking about how the actual business works in retail trader land. Perhaps what i describe is technically STP. In retail trading, pure non-aggregated DMA is almost impossible and trading microlots at institutional level is nonsensical.

Bottom line best thing is what Paul described wrongly as a market maker (did no hear you whine about that) is the strict A book broker who just charges commision, spread markup and swaps, and passes the trade to the (interbank) liqiuidity provider(s).

I think I get it now. If you were previously unaware of something's existence, then it shall never exist going forward.
