A list of ECN Forex brokers that provide Forex traders with a direct access to the other Forex market participants — retail and institutional. This results in some advantages — no anti-scalping, no «stop-loss hunting», very low spreads; and disadvantages — ECN brokers charge commissions for Forex trading.

Not all traders understand the immediate benefits of trading with an ECN broker, so here is a short list of them:

• There is no conflict of interest between a trader and an ECN broker.
• Better pricing. The chances are that you will be able to get a lower Ask for buying and higher Bid when selling.
• A choice of liquidity providers and commission structure. When you trade a lot, you can negotiate such terms with your broker.
• Access to volume data and traders' sentiment information of your broker's liquidity pool.
