ECN account brokers like FXOpen operate on a no dealing desk model. That means the brokermatches a trader’s order either with a buyer or seller, depending on the nature of the order.ECN account brokers make their money by charging a commission on all executed deals, and as suchhave no conflict of interest with their clients. Through ECN technology brokers, traders cantypically execute deals on more than one instrument – such as forex, indices and commodities.This means clients do not have to open multiple ECN trading accounts to access these markets.

Straight Through Processing (STP) accounts differ from ECN accounts in that there is no separatecommission to pay when a trade is executed. Instead, that commission is already included in thespread. STP trading accounts are perhaps more suited to novice traders who are looking to keeptheir pricing information simple. Find out more about STP and ECNtrading accounts.
