You may come across the word "C-Book" in addition to forex brokers who "A-Book" or "B-Book." The term "C-Book" is used to represent "risk management procedures" used by forex brokers and CFD providers that are allegedly different from A-Book and B-Book.
The A-Book implementation model comes with its own unique challenges. An A-Book forex broker can only earn profits from markups IF the rates at which it trades with the LP are better than the prices at which the broker trades with its customers.
While your forex broker will always be your counterparty and take the other side of your trade, it does not imply it has to bear the risk of being on the losing end of the trade and losing money. If the broker does not want to "B-Book" or bear the market risk, a third party can be found and the risk can be transferred to them.
