Best Broker for EA Trading

Why is Yadix considered to be the best broker for Expert Advisors Forex traders using ?  The answer is in the Brokers model.

Yadix operates a Direct Market Access brokerage (also known as STP or ECN), this allows Yadix to provide a leading service, trading conditions and Forex environment that guarantees NO trading restrictions for EA users, Forex Scalpers and profitable forex traders.

Forex traders may ask themselves, what’s the difference between Yadix Forex Broker and other brokers available on the market? There are several key elements that deliver Yadix clients a distinct trading advantage. However, there are all implemented with one goal – to provide the best Forex platform for these traders:

DMA/STP/ECN Order Execution

Direct Market Access order execution means that every order is executed directly to the REAL FOREX MARKET, and unlike a market making or dealing desk broker, you are not trading on a virtual market and there are definitely No Conflicts of Interests.

The DMA is highly beneficial as there are no opportunities for the broker to manipulate your order, price feeds or speeds of execution. All orders are executed to leading FX banks that act as liquidity providers in the real forex market place.

Leading Technology – Faster Forex Order Execution

Yadix utilises the Equinix Financial Exchange to ensure the fastest possible order execution and the lowest latency.  This leading technology is very beneficial, especially for Expert Advisors and Scalping traders.

The Equinix NY4 server facility is located at the heart of New York’s financial centre and through this technology, all clients trades will now be executed through the large network of trading hubs and bank servers, located in the Equinix data centres. This eliminates the time it takes to execute your Forex trades once they have been received by us.

Typically, the average execution speed for clients on the Equinix Financial Exchange is around One Millisecond. For clients using the Yadix VPS, the execution speeds are reduced to less than One Millisecond.

Anonymous Trading

As Yadix delivers a true no conflict of interest trading environment to its clients, it is in our interest that our clients make profits and trade greater forex volumes. To assist in this aspect, Yadix executes all Forex Orders directly to the Liquidity Providers totally anonymously to ensure that your SL, TP and pending order information is not visible by the Liquidity Providers to ensure the most accurate order filling, and just as important, to ensure that the final liquidity providers cannot hunt stop losses.

Best Forex Trading Conditions

Yadix offers a range of forex accounts that have been made available with our traders in mind. Whilst each account rewards traders’ styles differently, one thing is consistent. That is that each account boasts some amazing trading conditions included in the list below:

• All accounts supported by deepest Multibank liquidity
• No Forex Strategy Restrictions

In this article, we have covered off the most “frequently asked questions”. If there is anything specific that you’d like to ask, please feel free to contact our professional and highly qualified support team.

Yadix Forex Broker – Direct Market Access Forex Order Execution

Yadix Forex Broker operates a true no conflict of interest and the most transparent Forex business model that is available in the market today.

We understand that most Forex traders are accustomed to the market maker or dealing desk Forex brokers, however, we believe that the transparent model of STP/DMA/ECN is the future of the retail and institutional Forex trading.

From experience, we understand that many retail Forex traders do not fully understand the differences between the two Forex order flows, however, all of our professional support staff and account managers are fully trained to help in education and to assist whenever needed.

DMA/STP/ECN Forex model and order execution flow is a process that cuts out the element of a middle-man and in essence, it means that the client is trading directly with the selection of liquidity providers (leading FX banks) that compete for your orders. The leading FX Banks that provide the liquidity act as the market makers in this model. All of orders are executed to the real market place, unlike a market maker, where clients trade on a virtual market.

In the DMA/STP/ECN model, the broker does not employ a dealing desk, does not profit from clients losses and does not use plug-ins to manipulate the markets and clients orders. Smaller profits are made by the broker in the difference between the bid and the ask price...the spread, or through a small commission charged on ECN accounts.  

DMA/STP/ECN is more beneficial because traders can rest assured that there is no conflict of interest or manipulation from the broker such as re-quotes or delays in executing opening or closing orders.

ECN and STP/DMA are nearly identical in the way orders are executed, however, many STP brokers offer interbank execution to one or dual liquidity providers that may cause issues in the execution qualities and higher pricing in times of volatility.  ECN brokers tend to have a pool of liquidity that gives more quality order fills that single liquidity STP brokers. When choosing and STP/DMA broker, make sure that the broker has a deep pool of liquidity, with 5 or more FX banks providing the liquidity to execute your orders.

Yadix Forex Broker currently relies on 12 leading banks and hedge funds for the deepest liquidity DMA broker. The depth of liquidity allows Yadix to deliver institutional real market order execution to retail and institutional clients.

By relying on the real Forex Market and with a wide selection of specialist liquidity providers allows us to provide our clients with very important trading advantages such as:

1. No Trading Strategy Restrictions – We welcome Scalpers, profitable traders and all other strategies
2. No Stop Level or Limits – All pending orders can be set at zero levels away from your order opening price – this means you are in full control of your profits
3. Scalper Account – Our account for Forex Scalpers is supported with RAW Spread trading and specialist Liquidity Providers 
4. No Strategy Discrimination – Your Profitable Forex Trading Strategy will never be restricted, manipulated against or banned
5. Anonymous order Execution – Your orders are executed as Yadix, never as an individual to help disguise your profitable trading strategy
6. Forex Profit Withdrawals – Your profits can be withdraw at anytime without restrictions – All withdrawals are completed on the SAME DAY

To help support our business model with the fastest, lowest latency Forex order execution, Yadix partners with the Equinix Financial Exchange and shares its technology with the leading Wall Street FX Banks that provide liquidity.

Equinix reduces latency by using global trading servers, this delivers the fastest order execution to Yadix clients no matter their location. Typical order execution is under 2 milliseconds (tested globally). Clients can reduce their order execution quality and speed to a fraction of one millisecond (order execution under 1 MS) by using the FREE Yadix VPS facility.

Yadix PAMM Community – Leading the Way

The Yadix fast growing PAMM community for investors and managers is the Forex markets leading investment programme.

The success of the Forex Managed Account programme is based on a true no conflict of interest policy that fully protects both the investor and provides the managers leading technology Forex tools and the very best order execution.

Forex Managed Accounts for Investors

As an investor, or experienced Forex trader, the Yadix PAMM community is an ideal environment for diversifying your financial investments, maximising your ROIs and to adapt and expand your Forex trading strategy.

The programme introduces to investors a range of qualified, vetted and proven Forex managed account professionals. Each of which, employs a different trading style, strategy, risk and rewards. Since launching, the Yadix PAMM community has proven to be extremely popular with investors and traders that utilise professional services of account managers to grow their Forex investment.

Furthermore, all investors and Forex account managers have the added security and benefits of all their activities being under the regulated supervision of the Yadix environment, as well as being able to operate and manage each account using market leading technology and controls through the Yadix Personal Area.

All of our Forex managers are true professionals with proven statistics that have passed the Yadix interview process to ensure our investors funds are being cared for in the most responsible way. Prior to being offered publically, each manager delivers his own invested funds and has a minimum of 30-90 days trading history with Yadix before we will consider offering their managed account services to clients and investors of Yadix.

Each manager utilises a different strategy, risk to reward ratios and approach to account management. One thing that remains consistent is the fact that the managers available deliver within our risk requirements (low to medium risk) and consistent and achievable returns (5% - 25%) monthly account growth.

At Yadix we realise that managed Forex accounts that promise 75%+ growth each month are highly risky and highly unlikely to achieve and we will avoid offering such managers as a principal to avoid investor disappointment.

Yadix PAMM Community for Forex Account Managers

For Forex account managers, Yadix offers low cost trading conditions, unbeatable Forex order execution that is complemented by leading technology to ensure issue free trading.

Yadix prides itself on accepting profitable, aggressive and scalping EAs and Forex Robots. This has proven to be a true and unique strength for Yadix and has attracted many Forex account managers that have previously faced issues with market making brokers and brokers that cannot deliver quality order execution.

Because the order execution quality we offer is unrivalled and the low cost trading ensures the most profitable trading for our forex PAMM managers, this allows our managers to deliver optimised results and the best returns for self-introduced investors as well as the Yadix clients and investors that choose to invest.

Order execution quality is delivered through the EquinixFinancial Exchange and leading FX banks that provide market depth and liquidity to the Yadix MetaTrader 4 platform. To complete the technical side, Yadix offers a hi-tech ultimate PAMM solution to each Forex account manager to ensure efficient account management and allows managers the stability to generate profits for forex investors.

Yadix does not offer trade copier solutions due to the instability and latency issues that can occur between the master account and followers accounts. Furthermore, recent restrictions set by MetaQuotes that block trade copier solutions is an issue that there does not seem to be easy solution to overcome.

Market Makers Tools to Make Traders Suffer

As a trader, it’s important to realise what type of broker you are trading with. Many clients find this trivial and don’t realise what affect different broker types have on their trading.

By identifying your brokers’ model, you can also understand fully the risk, limitations and underhanded tactics that some of these broker types employ to generate as much profit from your trading activity.

Market Makers

A market making broker has only one target, that is to generate a virtual trading environment that often mirrors the real foreign exchange market, however, the virtual and real market are not connected whatsoever.

What does that mean for a forex trader? Basically, it means that you sign the client agreement to approve that you are trading on that broker’s virtual market and that the market maker has the right to execute your order however it wishes.

Furthermore, specific restrictions will be on place to limit the ability for clients to make profit from trading the forex markets. Such limits can be based on some of the most critical risk controls and profit securing tools that are a must for a successful trader. Stop Loss and Take Profits often carry restrictions such as minimum distance (in pips) where a SL or TP can be set away from the open price. Also, the time the order must remain open for is also a popular strategy used by market makers. These are definitely strategies to ensure that your order stays open for a specific period of time in an attempt for the markets to move against you and for your trades to generate losses for you and profits for the market making broker.

There are many underhanded strategies and tools that remain private and behind the scenes to ensure that traders never find out what’s really happening. The market makers use tools and technologies to delay, manipulate and cheat traders out of their money. Below is an example of one tool targeted at hurting scalpers that trade on a market making broker.

This plugin was developed in order to confront scalpers trading within the MT4 platform. The logic is designed to make Scalpers less profitable by creating delays in opening and closing orders for a certain amount of time, this is usually in milliseconds. This allows the broker to reduce the clients profit by slightly delaying the order open or close. During this time, this tool searches for the worst market price and delivers this to the client.

This technology focuses on all order types including buy and sell limits, stop loss and take profits. At the end of the manipulation the plug-in confirms the order using the worst price for the trader.

STP Brokers

A true STP broker on the other hand has no reason to place such restrictions or use such tools to manipulate clients trades as they gain no profit whether a client generate profitable or losing trades, instead they gain a commission per lot traded. Because of this, it makes sense for the broker to hope and target profitable traders. The logic is based on the more profit a trader makes, the higher the likelihood that the trader will trade higher volumes and generate more commissions for the broker.

Yadix is a broker that not only specialises in providing beneficial conditions for forex scalpers, expert advisor traders and for all forex robots, it also focuses on providing tools and services to help clients develop their trading strategies and potential profitability.  

We are proud to provide a true conflict free forex trading environment and the ability for our clients to trade any strategy or EA without any restrictions whatsoever.
