counterparty
Explanation:
The orders are placed with a foreign market maker who is the direct counterparty.
You might even be able to omit the translation and say that "the orders are placed directly with a foreign market maker".

The important thing is that the client who is buying is purchasing directly from the foreign market maker and not from XXX. In other cases "potrebb'essere in diretta contrapartita con xxx". XXx purchases and in order to sell. In this case xxx would become the "market maker" or in ordinary terms the retailer of the securities.

The meaning of "in contrapartita" here is to indicate the counterparty not the accounting entry.

Risposta:
Il termine contropartita diretta significa che la banca ha venduto direttamente il titolo. Cio' implica ovviamente che la Banca ne era proprietaria prima della vendita, ma non necessariamente che il titolo faceva parte del proprio portafoglio. Nell'attivita' di negoziazione in conto proprio, infatti,

Ciò vale a maggior ragione quando le banche svolgono il servizio di negoziazione in conto proprio, ponendosi in contropartita diretta con la clientela, in quanto la disponibilità, da parte degli intermediari, ad effettuare negoziazioni su determinati titoli presuppone, in capo agli stessi, una preventiva valutazione delle caratteristiche e della rischiosità dell’investimento.
