How Are My Trades Executed at FxPro?
Your trades are executed with Instant or Market Execution, based on your account and order type. Due to the high volumes and direction of our clients’ trades, we are able to internally match a great deal of our order flow. This allows us to minimise our risk without interfering with your orders in any way. As not all client positions are hedged, a residual exposure up to our market risk limit remains in house. Excess exposure may be hedged externally.
Why FxPro is not an STP Broker
STP, which stands for Straight-Through-Processing, is one of the most commonly misinterpreted terms in the online trading industry. Often considered to relate to the execution that a client receives from their broker, STP is in fact a post-execution, post-trade communication process between executing counterparties with minimal impact on the speed or price of execution that a retail trader is offered. Though FxPro does use STP technologies, we classify ourselves as NDD as per the true method by which we execute client orders.
Why FxPro is not an ECN Broker
ECN stands for Electronic Communication Network and is frequently wrongly taken to be synonymous with NDD execution. In reality, ECN refers to the anonymous communication between executing counterparties which may, in fact, result in no guaranteed fills and worse pricing for the retail trader. FxPro is a true No Dealing Desk Execution broker, meaning that we execute client orders with no dealing desk intervention.
