Crownforex is not en ecn broker. Lost loads on their requotes.

Alright, here is how ActivTrades probably replied to your question of whether they have a dealing desk or not.
They say, quote:
"We don't have any dealing desk. We operate in an OTC environment."

Now, an OTC (Over the Counter) simply means that a trader is trading the market with a dealer, who facilitates buy and sell orders by either electronic network or by phone instead of an physical trading floor.
So, I asked them again, and here is the final reply, which clarifies the point, quote:

"We don't have any dealing desk. An OTC market is a market without clearing house so we act as market maker on the products we offer. However we also offer futures products on the exchange market and in that case you can trade through us electronically on the exchange with a clearing house overseeing trades."

What about ForexTrader.com, are they STP/ ECN or DD

CoesFX broker no longer exists.

Hotspot FX has recently stopped providing services to retail clients and focused solely on institutional clients.

OANDA is a dealing desk broker, operates since 1996, registered with NFA.
OANDA net capital as of March 31, 2009 was $161,723,117.

P.S. Currently investors are watching for MB Trading to meet new NFA requirement of possessing $20 000 000 net capital by May 19th, 2009. OANDA broker has sufficient capital to meet the standards.

I found my conversation with PFGBEST:

BG: Will MT4 trading be based on a dealing desk?

PFGBEST: MT4 trading is an ECN style model. We have a dealing desk, but we are not a market maker or a dealer. The dealing desk is only in case of emergencies or for those who prefer to trade at a desk rather than utilizing online trading. We do not take pips from people's trades or take the other side of the trade. The feed is directly to the interbank market where it is offset by prime banks like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan.

BG: Do you have any other options, where a trader can trade Forex without a dealing desk?

PFGBEST: We offer several non-dealing desk, ECN model platforms:

Best Direct 8
FX Platinum Spot and Options
Currenex
MT4
Ninja Trader
Navigator
ProTrader

You can select each one to sign up for a demo.

ok I called PFGBEST, they do NOT do customer to customer matching.
