Swiss Exclusive ECN FOREX / CFD Trading

ECN business model allows traders to consume liquidity through buying and selling at current ask/bid prices and propose your own liquidity by placing your ask/bid pending orders. ECN brokers are frequently preferred by institutional and professional investors due to their higher execution speed, price transparency, and capacity to display the true depth of the market.

A forex broker is a financial services provider that provides traders with a platform to buy and sell foreign currencies. Brokers allow individual traders to execute trades on interbank market prices, providing leverage to finance larger trading exposure compared to invested collateral. They also provide access to important market data, technical analysis tools, and, often, educational materials to help traders make informed decisions. Traders need to choose a reputable and authorized broker to ensure openness, safety, and a flawless trading experience.

A contract for difference (CFD) broker is a financial services firm that specializes in offering traders access to trading CFDs, a type of derivative financial instrument that lets them speculate on asset price changes without actually owning the underlying asset. Using a CFD, traders can profit from markets that are growing or dropping by predicting prices and either opening long (buying) or short (selling) positions.

CFD brokers provide access to a variety of markets, such as forex, equities, commodities, indices, cryptocurrencies and others. They offer leverage, which magnifies the profits and losses generated by a price movement. They make money via financing charges and commissions. To guarantee security and openness in trading, pick a regulated CFD broker.

A CFD broker's regulatory status and reputation are important determinants of its security level. When it comes to trader protection, registered brokers provide a great deal more than unregulated ones. Dukascopy Bank is regulated by FINMA (Switzerland), which is considered one of the most well-regulated and reputed jurisdictions in the world for financial services.

But it's important to keep in mind that because CFDs are leveraged, trading with these entails inherent risks that could cause losses larger than your initial investment. Trader risk can be reduced by practising with a forex demo account and beginning with a small deposit to test the services and trade execution before making greater commitments.

The way a trade is executed by an ECN broker differs from that of a standard Forex broker. An ECN broker makes pricing transparent and often charges a commission on trades and allows traders not only to consume existing liquidity but also place bid/ask pending orders. ECN brokers offer tighter spreads, wider spreads are the result of many traditional forex brokers having connections with fewer executors (liquidity providers) than ECN brokers. Professional traders prefer ECN brokers because they offer better pricing and transparency, and typically offer faster execution.
