P.S. To people who say - Oh'that' broker has MT4 and he's ECN - FU. If an ECN broker has MT (I will repeat myself) he's a whore.

Just how can we know and assess are these 2 brokers a REAL ECN broker or they are just another MM.
When did saying to people they are doing something stupid ever prevented it?
However in full seriousness, shing to ECN broker was the best thing I ever did in my trading career.
As previously mentioned, the sole reason to trader having a non ECN broker, is whether you understand how to outsmart them. That is a very rare occasion
I am guessing the majority of traders are individuals who have sucked into Forex by some IB. Went through their'eduional' two day material and began trading with some bucket-shop.
Another example, individuals stumble-upon Fx and decide on a first eduion they loe (babypips, trading for dummies or a broker'From zero to hero' manual ), then choose the first broker they loe.
In the conclusion, when they blow all the money they begin bitching in FF, into the broker and everyone else.
Damn, individuals,cliqforexis magnificent resource for studying. If you're here, you're among the luckier traders, who has an chance to read and ask here.
Stop complaining in the MM threads, about the way that something is wrong. Something will always be erroneous. They have this business model, in which they get rich, once you loose all of your money (one way or another).
They also possess this technology, called MetaTrader, which brakes down if you start breathing onto it.
So everything will fail, but just for you.
Thus if you're trading with MM you ought to be completely conscious of the consequences. Just the individuals who are conscious of what they're doing, should trade with them (who have the balls to outsmart them).
The entrance is really low today with ECN brokers.
Well, no. I have not found none. You have to become accustomed to the real market requirements thou. Together with MM's blowing smoke in your face, you may start believing, that this really is Forex. Just like f-ed up MT language, the MM mess with your head and you start thinking that it's the way it ought to be.
And individuals are misguided and underedued about the market participants.
As for the slippage, it's a natural thing. As you press on the button, then the price already changes few times. So there's a slim chance you will be implemented at spot price. Nonetheless, it's not that bad thou. You get stuffed at VWAP.
of course.
Benefits of market maket compared to the low entry fee. That is about it.
Question: besides natural market mechanics like slippage, have you discovered any unexpected downsides to being on ecn?
Hey ,
two proud decades.
As soon as you go ECN, you can not go back. (doesn't matter, but exactly like it occurs
I have only one question, for everybody who's reading this post - Please discuss, in your view, the benefits of trading with a Market Maker?
My final article on this matter since it is off-topic... but, the point is that context must understand what another person is talking about. Regardless of the right or incorrect use of language there are likely to become legions of folks reading here who see things from the context of what they know in mt4. It doesn't matter how wrong the term is. Just like individuals using to rather than too, and your rather than you're etc.. It is an insurmountable failure the masses fortify upon themselves. There's no being appropriate in a society.
On-topic... how long have you been with the ecn, just out of curiosity?
