Non-dealing desk brokers
Trading with a non-dealing desk broker means that you don't have to deal with a middle man. These brokers direct your order to liquidity providers. This ensures you get the best possible price and lowest trading costs. There is one major difference between non-dealing and dealing desk brokers. Non-dealing Desk brokers offer lower spreads but require larger minimum trading sizes. Hence, choosing a non-dealing desk broker is a better choice if you are looking for a lower spread.
Market makers
ECNs and Pros are two types market makers. ECNs pay volume-based commissions. Pros charge spreads or fees for all trades. Both market makers are crucial for the efficient functioning market. But there are many differences. Let's go over each type of marketmaker in turn. ECN trading has many benefits, but it is important to remember that ECN trading is not as transparent as the Forex market.
ECN brokers
You should be familiar with the advantages and disadvantages associated with ECN brokers before you trade the forex market. This type of broker allows for you to instantly receive the prices of currency pairs and allow you to invest in them without being physically present. ECN brokers have low spreads which is their greatest advantage. Moreover, you'll be able to earn larger payouts by trading against clients. An STP broker will not allow you to trade against your clients.
Asset management accounts
Some Forex brokers offer separate accounts. These accounts can be broken down into three categories: advisor accounts (master fund admin), advisor accounts (multiple hedge fund accounts), and separate trading limit accounts (separate trading limit). An advisor account is a separate entity, but the same as a fully disclosed broker, but has additional capabilities. Separate trading limit accounts enable the management of multiple sub-accounts. Each sub-account may have its own trading strategy.
White label solution
White label solutions for forex brokerage may be the most efficient way to enter the online broker industry. These systems provide access to the MT4 platform, a management panel, and a marketing campaign. These white label services can be used in a similar way to Direct Market Access' (DMA) services. These white label solutions eliminate the need for MetaTrader server licenses to be purchased, managed, and maintained. Instead, you'll partner with a platform provider, who will provide both the platform and commercial terms.
