ECN Forex Brokers
(No Dealing Desk + STP + ECN)
*To be able to compare commission rates, we list them all as "Commission per round turn (100K)",
But there are different ways of listing commission rates:
Example: $6.00 per round turn lot (100k) = $3.00 per side (100k) or $3.00 per 100K USD traded = $30.00 per million USD traded or $60.00 per million USD traded round turn = 0.006% of the trade

June 19, 2009Hi All,
I've search information from NFA's site, but nothing found about Real-Forex. They are unregulated broker (offshore brokerage), I will never put my money in this broker (although they claim as an ECN Broker)...Lol

June 21, 2009They are a French company and don't require NFA regulation.
Here is the official reply from Real-Forex:
"For the moment, Real-Forex is still not regulated, we have started the process with several regulations as we would like to operate in more and more countries as a regulated forex company. In the meantime, we are working under the supervision of our auditor for the monitoring of clients' funds."

June 22, 2009If you mean whether they are regulated, this information can be found on broker website usually at "About us" page or requested via customer support. In few weeks I'll be adding a powerful search tool, where traders will be able to find lots of info about Forex brokers.

June 28, 2009If TradersvoiceFX is a true ECN can a trailing stop be manipulated by human or electronic means?
Thank you,

June 28, 2009No, it can't, by any means.
Besides, there is no point in it. ECN brokers are compensated through commission only, they don't care whether you lose or win. These brokers would rather see you win, because they want you to continue trading, or they won't earn any commission.

June 30, 2009Hi BrokerGuru,
Thks for a very informative site and for finding out about real-forex.com. The ODL Prime looks very interesting but I can't find anything on their site that says they are ECN ( I suppose that is only when you are using their Hotspox, Lava and Currenex platforms ) but what if you use their MT4 platform ? Surely that cannot be true ECN ?
Also, what is the difference between the normal GFT and GFT prime ? We all know that GFT is a market maker.
Thanks again.
BrokerGuru
June 30, 2009Prime accounts as a rule require much larger deposits, over $10 000 or higher, and high volume trading. With ODL you'll get ECN trading on the platforms you've mentioned (Hotspox, Currenex etc) and the best execution and spreads the broker can offer.
On normal ODL and with MT4 you'll be trading with an ODL-market maker.
With GFT you'll be trading on their native DealBook 360 platform, just with the difference that for high volume traders they have prime conditions, where orders are passed directly to the Interbank, instead of being serviced at the dealing desk.
Account size and trading volume requirements often change, so I'd suggest contacting brokers to learn about their current minimum requirements.
