Market Structure & Explainers

Position size equals account balance times risk percent, divided by stop distance times pip value. The KenMacro desk walks through the formula with a worked example.

Scalping explained: the high-frequency intraday trading style that compounds small edges on tight spreads, the cost structure that defines it, and the broker fit.

B-book vs A-book explained: how brokers internalise (B-book) or route externally (A-book) retail flow, the structural conflict, and what to verify before opening an account.

Slippage explained: why a forex order fills at a different price than displayed, how to measure it on your broker, and when it is a normal cost versus a conduct issue.

Requote explained: why a forex broker rejects your original price and offers a new one, when it is normal, when it is a red flag, and what to do about it.

Market maker explained: how a dealing-desk forex broker internalises retail flow, when the model is fine, when it is a conflict, and how to verify regulatory tier.
