STP
Posted by Olga Palikarpava on 23 October 2015 05:47 PM

STP (Straight Through Processing) gives you direct access to the Forex market (interbank market) and offers the best prices, low spreads and 5th decimal pricing format. Thus, opening STP account traders will be able to try all the advantages of ECN trading and market execution having deposited only $10. 

Unlike ECN, broker's commission is included in the difference between the best BID and the best Offer (ASK). This difference (Spread) is variable and not fixed and depends on the buy and sell orders available on the Marketplace.
