What is Dealing Desk Account in Commodity Trading?

DD Mini Commodity Trading Account

DD Commodities Trading Accounts

DD stands for dealing desk, these DD account commodity brokers have a dealing desk execution model where they can match orders & execute commodity trading order in the online commodity market.

The commodity trader trading with a DD account will get a lot of re-quotes.

Dealing Desks will issue commodity traders with a lot of order re quotes, meaning commodity prices of orders are not real-time and the broker can requote a commodity trader's order if the commodity price of the commodities trading market changes quick enough before the broker's dealing desk places the trading order online or before they match the order in the online commodity market.

Dealing Desk accounts therefore means that order execution of commodity orders is not instant & therefore this execution model may mean that orders executed using a DD Commodities Trading Account aren't executed as quickly as when compared to an ECN trading account or an STP account.
