I was finally able to sort my questions out with the Search. Thank you, great work!

When you see "ECN/STP" only, there are no alternatives - you'll be trading with ECN.

When you see "ECN/STP & Market maker" - this, in majority of cases, means that a broker is primarily a Market maker, but it has Prime brokerage ECN trading offered to larger clients (often with deposits from $10 000 and up). As an example, we have GFT - a market maker for all mini and standard accounts, but with an option to access prime services.

In all cases you have to ask your broker about the dealing model for your account. There is no room for guessing and(or) being shy about asking this key question.

Hm... that's true.
Thanks a lot, we've fixed that!

Hi Tajer,

If an ECN broker goes bankrupt you won't have any additional protection or guarantee for receiving your money back, same as with any other broker.
Your best chance to get your money back is with a broker who offers segregated accounts: where client funds are kept separate from broker funds.

There are also brokers ho provide an insurance for their client deposits through insurance companies or other warrantors.
Finally, trading with banks offers an unbeaten level of funds security.

Before opening an account, go over Trading Terms & Conditions in Client Agreement form. It always says about level of protection of client funds and financial liabilities of a broker in case of bankruptcy.

Thank you,

I'll be adding all of them. There are several hundreds of Forex brokers nowadays, many of them don't have enough info on their websites, which makes it more time consuming to create a listing.

For now, those who are more co-operative and who responded by filing in the questionnaire form, get listed first. Others will be listed later, but eventually every broker will be on the list within several months.

For brokers to get a questionnaire for an immediate listing, please use our contact form.

Thanks a lot!
I'm glad you liked it.
