What is ECN in Forex Trading
ECN stands for Electronic Communication Network. ECN Broker is one that uses electronic communications networks (ECNs) to offer clients direct access to other market participants in the currency market. Because ECN broker consolidates price quotations from numerous participants in the market, it has opportunity to offer its clients tighter bid/ask spreads than other brokers. ECN can be described as a link connecting smaller market participants with tier-1 liquidity providers through a Forex ECN Broker. This connection is achieved through sophisticated technology called FIX Protocol (Financial Information Exchange Protocol). On the first place, ECN broker receives liquidity from tier-1 liquidity providers (Major Banks) and offers it to its clients. Then, ECN Broker sends clients’ orders back to Liquidity Providers for execution. An ECN broker benefits from commission fees per transaction. The higher the trading volume of clients, the higher the broker’s profit. An ECN is an alternative securities trading system that collects, displays, and executes orders electronically without a middleman, such as a specialist or market maker. Trading on an ECN allows institutional and individual investors to buy and sell anonymously.
