Ecn Or Mm Help Please

About a year ago I opened an 800.00 account with Oanda and within a period of months It fell through. However, I am interested in getting back into the game and have learned alot from my past account. I am wondering whether is would be better to just re-deposit in my Oanda account or go with an ECN.

I will only be funding with 1000.00 and I dont need more that 50:1 leverage (who in their right mind would). Oanda has been great, they have a wonderful platform and I have always had my trades go through. I like stop loss and take profit functions as well. I dont trade news specifically but as I become more educated I might try trading news. I know the difference between each type of broker, I just want to get an experienced traders point of view. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I use CNX & HotspotFXi and I have been testing Oanda for few months and am happy to say 90% of the time I have been able to match my results on CNX.

See http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=36467 for a (small) list of ECNs.

Also, the below is a good thread on your original question about ECNs or MM:

Ciao,

You trade with Hotspot??

so either you had the 1 mill to open up or they let you stay on after they dropped the retail section???

But as the original post is dated Aug 26, 2007 and the OP had been a member for 1 year and never made more than 5 posts, it might be safe to assume he found another path to walk.

thanks for pointing that out Peter , post deleted.

I need to look at the dates a little more, 2nd or 3rd time that's happened to me!

lol, well spotted Peter. This is an example of why zombie bumping is so annoying.
