Benefits of Electronic Communication Network (ECN) Trading

ECN trading benefits from several advantages of trading shares of stock electronically, including lower prices and anonymity for customers.

The electronic networks use modern technology to improve the efficiency of ECN trading execution.

An ECN platform will not trade against you; it will only match offers between market participants.

You can usually get tight Bid/Ask prices because they are derived from several sources.

Forex prices can be more volatile, which will be better for scalping purposes.

The downfall to ECN trading is that unless there is an exact match, the forex sale cannot be executed.
