Personalized Liquidity: LP for Retail Traders
In 2025, a new trend is emerging in the Forex market: personalized liquidity. LPs like UBS, XTX, and TSG offer retail traders access to customized streams via APIs.

Privacy risks
The main risk is data collection. LPs see your patterns: favorite currency pairs, time zones, reactions to news.In a Big Data world, this turns the trader into an object of analysis, and liquidity into a tool of influence.
Analytics and forecast
According to TradingEconomics (September 2025), the volume of trades with customized liquidity accounts for approximately 12% of global Forex turnover, but this figure could grow to 30% by 2027.Experts note that personalization will lead to even greater trader dependence on LP algorithms.
Conclusion
Personalized liquidity is a new stage in the evolution of the Forex market. It offers an advantage in execution, but requires careful attention to privacy and regulation.
Traders should choose brokers with multi-LP support to reduce the risk of manipulation.
