During the interview, I was asked to describe how trading operates at a Direct Market Access (DMA) broker. The question focused on the understanding of the end-to-end trade flow — from client order entry and pre-trade validation to direct routing via FIX protocol and post-trade processing. It tested my grasp of trading infrastructure, operational controls, and the role of DMA in providing clients with low-latency, execution-efficient access to markets.
