STARPRIME Completes Beta Testing of Market‑Maker Model

On August 19, 2026, from Port Louis, Mauritius, STARPRIME (www.starprime.com) issued a press release announcing the completion of beta testing for its newly developed Market‑Maker Model with a group of selected broker clients. The model is intended to help brokers manage liquidity costs, execution quality, and market exposure across various client‑flow types.

The beta phase involved a detailed review of execution quality, pricing, and risk‑management outcomes under differing market conditions. It addresses a core challenge for retail brokers: determining when to retain client flow internally versus externalising it to banks, ECNs, or other liquidity providers. While externalising can lower a broker’s direct market exposure, the spreads, margin requirements, and other terms offered by institutional providers may differ from those available to retail clients, sometimes making externalisation less economical.

STARPRIME’s Market‑Maker Model offers an alternative execution option that provides pricing closer to retail‑trading conditions while STARPRIME manages the external liquidity relationships. The model reflects evolving retail trading behaviour, driven by greater access to market information and AI‑based tools, prompting brokers to reassess flow‑retention decisions.

During beta testing, participating clients identified specific segments where externalising flow reduced market exposure and supported more efficient risk and flow management. Results varied according to client flow characteristics, prevailing market conditions, and execution requirements.

When compared with straight‑through‑processing (STP) execution under comparable conditions, STARPRIME observed:

  • Faster price updates,
  • Tighter spreads during periods of volatility,
  • More efficient execution of larger orders,
  • Lower overall market impact.

These observations are specific to the beta‑testing scenarios and may differ under other market environments, order‑flow profiles, or execution needs.

"The industry's move toward lower execution costs is accelerating. Our focus is on giving brokers another way to manage client order flow while maintaining transparency around pricing, liquidity and execution," said Jay Mawji, CEO of STARPRIME.

Looking ahead, STARPRIME plans to broaden the execution data and user cases available through its Pricing Section (https://www.starprime.com/spread/) to provide prospective clients with more information for assessing the model.
