hi there, i´m a 21 year old student from germany, currently looking for a new ecn/stp broker. i´ve traded with a german dealing desk company for about 6 month, but the main problem was that their stop loss orders had to be at least 25 pips from the bid offer. i only trade eurusd with 0.5 lot size a few hours a day. so i just talked to a guy from fxopen about their stp commisions and he said that they are compansated by the spread. now im wondering if a true ecn broker is allowed to be compansated by the spread because by adding a spread to the actual bid/ask the ecn broker would requote the price. further he wouldnt tell me by how much the spread is widened. if anybody has made some experience with fxopen ecn or has deeper understandings about hoe ecn brokers function, feel free to post back.
greetings
