ECN's Dragging Their Feet

I want to start a rant where everyone can take turns bashing ECN brokers and their platforms. Maybe I'm a simpleton, or just plain stupid... but their platforms are not very user friendly. When will these guys figure it out. They have a minuscule amount of the retail client market share because they're dragging their feet on the issue...and they know it's an issue!!!. What ever happened to Omega for EFX... anytime now, right?

P.S. I hope you ECN broker folks are reading this... GETTR' DONE!!!

Peace & Love,

It is possible that the ECN platforms are like Unix. It's user friendly, just picky about who it's friends with.

Here's the bottom line...

The biggest demographic in the retail market is using dealing desk brokers. Why? The Platform. I don't think I'm too far off by saying that the most popular and widely used platform is MT (at least for the retail market). Having said that, the next question is - why? Well, because it's "user-friendly". The biggest market share dictates what they require as consumers. If MB, EFX, CURRENEX, or HOTSPOT think the mass consumers will eventually come around... then they're sadly mistaken. In the meantime, sh$t-hole brokers like FXCM and INTERBANK FX (to name a few) are cleaning house.
