ECN Trading on the Yadix MT4 Platform


ECN (Electronics Communication Network) is the Forex model available to trade on the Yadix MT4 forex platform. ECN uses a pool of liquidity to provide the most competitive pricing and execution model for all Yadix Traders.

When comparing ECN to a market making broker there are some obvious advantages when trading using ECN/STP forex models. The ECN model allows all trades to be executed to a pool of liquidity providers, at Yadix there are more than 15 liquidity providers competing for clients’ trades. This allows Yadix to display the lowest prices (without commissions or fees) for traders to benefit from. Furthermore, the execution of orders is stable and reliable during the most volatile market conditions as well as when liquidity in the market place is thin.

The inclusion of multiple liquidity providers is critical when comparing to some STP brokers who are supported by only a few liquidity providers. Just like any business, the more providers you have for your business, the greater the efficiency and better the prices become.

Anonymity is a major part of the ECN forex model that ensures that all clients’ orders are submitted to the major banks and other liquidity providers without any history of trades or identification of the trading strategy being used. This is beneficial for clients using profitable EAs, aggressive scalping strategies as anonymous trading fully protects your trading strategy from ever being excluded or experiencing manipulation as you might expect when trading with a dealing desk operation.

ECN provides the deepest liquidity pools for retail traders that are usually reserved for institutional and professional level clients through the Yadix MT4 forex platform. Yadix uses technology that aggregates all bid and ask prices in the trading system and displays the best prices offered by tier one liquidity providers to clients trading platforms. This means that our clients always benefit from the best possible price and are always able to execute trades without delays or re-quotes.

When trading with a dealing desk, and in any other walk-of-life, whenever there is a winner, there is a loser, and visa-versa. This means that if you are a successful trader, generating profits, then the broker is losing money. Usually, this leads to exclusion from the brokerage, at the same time, if you haven’t perfected your trading strategy and you’re are not yet making forex profits, then you are the ideal client for a dealing desk/market maker.
