Our Business Model
As an ECN forex broker FXCC has No Dealing Desk. Our business model is based on Straight Through Processing (STP) in an electronic configured network, we refer to this as our ECN/STP FX trading model. An ECN/STP trading model is an environment where all our clients' orders are sent to various competitive and qualified financial institutions, in order to be matched. This constituent pool of respected institutions creates our pool of liquidity providers. This straightforward, straight through processing, eliminates the potential for any price or spread manipulations, whilst ensuring there is never any conflict of interest between FXCC as a broker and our clients.
FXCC believes that having multiple liquidity providers is one of the most fundamental services we can offer our clients in the growing forex market. As a consequence we have built solid relationships with many of the most: proven, respected and established global financial institutions, in order to ensure that all our clients benefit from the most competitive forex spreads available 24-5, even during volatile market conditions and when critical data and news releases are published.
The FXCC Price Aggregator continually and automatically scans all the Bid/Ask (buy and sell) prices entering our ECN system and constantly displays the best price combinations on offer from all our liquidity providers. This ensures our clients benefit from the best match of Bid/Ask prices available on our forex trading system. This pricing mechanism creates a professional environment for traders whatever their level of experience and offers up more scope for profitable trading.
