What is an ECN trading account?

An ECN trading platform is where orders are matched and executed by us, the ECN broker, and the trader is charged a small commission for this service. The commission means there is no premium placed on the raw spread.

When you use FXOpen’s ECN trading system you will find there is no dealing desk and your trade will always be executed at the best possible price. An ECN trading account also offers plenty of flexibility as you can deal in a range of instruments all from one account.

Which instruments can you access via ECN trading?

By opening an ECN trading account with FXOpen, you’ll be able to trade CFDs in:

Forex

The conversion of one currency into another

Commodities

The exchange of assets – in this case metals and energy – based on the price of a physical product such as gold or oil

Buying and selling stocks in publicly listed companies

Indices

The trading of a group of shares within a certain sector or niche

Cryptocurrencies*

Buying and selling the underlying coins or speculating on their price movements via CFD trading

ECN trading: The risks and rewards

It’s crucial when you access any of the instruments listed above via your ECN trading system you understand the risks involved. As an ECN account broker, we will always execute your trade at the best available price, but that promise does not guarantee you will make a profit.

When you set up an ECN trading account from your Hong Kong home, office or other location, you’ll find it is cost-effective and easy to use – especially when it comes to trading in large volumes.

But while the ECN trading account is reliable, the markets themselves are less predictable. Changes in supply and demand, geopolitical issues, changes within company structures and even freak weather conditions can all have an impact. Therefore, a lot of research is needed before traders begin their ECN trading journey.

What is an ECN account broker?

ECN account brokers like FXOpen operate a no dealing desk model. This is where the broker matches a trader’s order either with a buyer or seller, depending on the nature of the order.

ECN account brokers make money by charging a commission on all executed deals, so they have no conflict of interest with their clients. ECN brokers like FXOpen allow traders to execute deals on more than one instrument, such as forex and commodities. This means clients do not have to open multiple ECN trading accounts to access these markets.

So, if you open an ECN trading account in Hong Kong to trade in forex, it’s possible to do this for a commission on all deals you execute through an ECN broker such as FXOpen.

How to define success in ECN trading

When you start your ECN trading journey, it’s important to set clear goals. Success can be different for different people, and what you’re hoping to achieve might not match what other traders are aiming for. The key is to set a target you’re happy with. If it’s backed up by the in-depth research and analysis you have carried out using the tools on offer with your FXOpen platform, you’re well placed to go forward with your plan.

Before you open your ECN trading account, set out your objectives and how you’re going to achieve them. Remember to manage your expectations and accept that you’ll probably experience losses along the way. There are no guarantees of making a profit with ECN trading, so be sure to have a strategy in place should you lose out.

As an ECN broker for Hong Kong traders, our interests align with yours and we want you to enjoy success, however you define it.
