What is ECN Liberty Markets?

ECN, which stands for Electronic Communication Network, really is the way of the future for the Foreign Exchange Markets. ECN can best be described as a bridge linking smaller market participants with its liquidity providers through a FOREX ECN Broker.

This linkage is done using sophisticated technology setup named FIX Protocol (Financial Information Exchange Protocol). At one end, the broker obtains liquidity from its liquidity providers and makes it available for trading to its clients. On the other side, the broker delivers clients’ orders to Liquidity Providers for execution.

An ECN broker benefits from commission fees per transaction. The higher trading volume the broker’s clients generate, the higher the broker’s profitability.

Liberty Markets ECN Advantages:

Completely Anonymous

All ECN trading activity is totally anonymous. Anonymity enables traders to deal on neutral prices, which reflect the real market conditions only and are not biased against the client’s direction based on forex trading strategies, tactics or current market positions.

Instantaneous Trade Execution

Clients trade forex instantly on live streaming, best executable prices with immediate confirmations. Liberty Markets does not provide a “last look” to price makers, so Liberty Markets trades are final and confirmed as soon as they are dealt. There is no dealing desk to intervene, so there are no re-quotes.

Client to Liquidity Trading

The Liberty Markets ECN model allows clients to trade on the global liquidity of qualified and competitive Financial Institutions.

Automated forex Trading/Market Data

Liberty Markets’s live, neutral, executable market data includes the Most Competitive Bid and Best Ask prices at the time. These attributes of our data make it robust in back testing trading models and powering them for live trading.

Variable Spreads

Unlike a dealer, however, Liberty Markets does not control the bid/offer spread and therefore can not provide the same bid/offer spread at all times. Liberty Markets offers variable spreads.

On an ECN, clients have direct access to market prices. Market prices fluctuate reflecting supply and demand, volatility and other conditions. The Liberty Markets ECN enables clients to trade on tight bid/offer spreads, which are as low as 1 pip on all majors in normal market conditions.

Our Business Model

Unlike most typical forex brokers, Liberty Markets ECN forex broker has No Dealing Desk. Our business model is based on utilizing Straight Through Processing (STP), where all our client’s orders are sent to various competitive and qualified financial institutions that make up our pool of liquidity providers, eliminating the potential for any price or spread manipulations or any conflict of interest.

Liberty Markets believes that having multiple liquidity providers is one of the most fundamental services we can offer our clients in the growing forex market, so we have built solid relationships with some of proven and established Financial Institutions to make sure that our clients benefit from competitive forex spreads, even during volatile markets and news releases.

The Liberty Markets Price Aggregator automatically scans all the Bid/Ask prices entering our system and displays the best price combinations on offer from our liquidity providers. This ensures you benefit from the best match of Bid/Ask prices available on our forex trading system. Smarter pricing for smarter traders and more scope for profitable trading.
