Trading Accounts
FXOpen UK offers two types of trading accounts, ECN and STP. Both trading accounts use market execution so
you can trade with the security of knowing that there is no dealing desk, no requotes and your trade will
always be executed at the best available price.
ECN Trading Accounts: On Electronic Communication Network (ECN) accounts you trade
on the raw price from the banks and liquidity providers and pay a small commission. This is the most
cost-effective form of FX trading and is ideal for executing large volume trades.
Our most popular
account option; an FXOpen UK ECN account is a multi-asset account, allowing you to trade a wide range of FX,
global indices, stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrency CFDs**, all from one single account.
STP Trading Accounts: On Straight Through Processing (STP) accounts there is no
separate commission to pay as it is already included in the spread. This account is ideal for novice traders
looking to keep pricing simple.
