Professional ECN accounts of ECN broker

What is ECN and what are the main features of an ECN broker?

The ECN (Electronic Communication Network) system is an electronic trading network, which includes the function of automatic purchase and sales orders matching at a price which is satisfactory for both parties of the trade. The main participants of the ECN systems are banks, major market makers, investment funds, brokers, and dealers.

The main advantage of the ECN accounts is the absence of a conflict-of-interest between a client and a broker that uses the ECN technology: an ECN broker forwards clients’ orders straight to his counterparty who provide liquidity. Using this trading pattern, a broker is interested in increasing of trading volume, as he receives a commission for each order.
