I was looking at MBT's demo and I'm a bit confused as it has no charts on the platform, but I understand you have to use charts from a third party and pay for them separately. Is there an ECN that provides its own free charts on the platform?

I'm a little confused. MBTrading describes themselves on their website as an introducing broker for MB Trading Technologies. Why are they described in this thread as an ECN, then? Their terminology they use regarding STP is the same as that used by InterbankFX and others who do not employ a dealing desk.

Quote
MB Trading, member NASD/SIPC, is an affiliated introducing firm for MBT Technologies (MBTT). MBTT is a registered FCM with the CFTC and is a member of the NFA. MBTT provides retail off-exchange foreign currency execution services through MB Trading.

As one of the fastest growing currency trading firms, MBTT provides individuals, hedge funds and corporate clients with access to real-time streaming quotes, advanced trading software, fast trade executions, tight spreads, low commissions, and superior customer service.

No Deal Desk
Unlike most FOREX trading firms, we do not have a deal desk in between you and your orders. We utilize Straight Through Processing (STP), sending your orders directly to various banks and eliminating the potential for a markup. STP also prevents instances where you may be re-quoted, which generally occur when it is in the deal desk's best interest to delay the execution of your order, acting against your best interests.

Mate,

You will find Currenex & Hotspotfxi are both java based. I use both and have no problems w/ them.

Hi

Does anyone know any good ECN brokers, who are backed by large firms or institutions.

I recently checked out fxcm's ECN - Propfx - however their platform is a java enabled platform and is quite unreliable. The good thing about these guys is they dont charge commission, they rely on the rebate from their institutions.

Can anyone refer me to a good ECN broker, that is reliable and has a decent platform.

cheers

Rusty

Oanda works like an ECN in the sense that all net market exposure is traded on the market. Their value proposition is that despite this, they give you variable amount trading, no lots or mini lots but can trade any amount position. One single dollar or 10 million, it's all just a single trade, no dealing desk or manual execution to hinder your trading. And they have pioneered this approach. Full marks for execution speed, reliability and honesty.
I trade with Oanda - for the most part am happy with them however they have a couple glitches in their system when the market is moving quickly - quotes and charts become out of sequence, which is to say the least frustrating - as for their charts, indicators, and time frames - I like MB, who seem to offer weekly and monthly charts, 10 minute and 4 hour charts, trading systems, more indicators and studies - Oanda is a solid starting company - MB appears to be the next step ahead.

Hanz, are you serious or is this company broco serious? You pay a half pip commission for pricing. No thanks, i got MBT in the US if i want to pay a rediculous amount for good pricing. I can get a lot better at other places.

Might I add my 2c here Advanced Markets is a STP model as well fxtrader42, I currently have an account with them and the execution and speed is excellent. The charts are ok but if you are a chartist you might find them a bit lacking. I have found that it is easy enough to get good charts elsewhere.

If speed to market is what you are looking for them Advanced is the way to go.
