traderpublic Ratings · ECN brokers
Brokers with ECN execution
An ECN account routes your order to a pool of liquidity providers rather than to the broker's own book, and the honest way to compare one is by its commission and its raw spread together — a zero-commission ECN claim usually means the cost moved into the spread.
Checked: the licence trail per published record, read from each regulator's own register on the date shown, plus the perk and desk-score rows from our research desk. The execution model, commission, spread and deposit values are written in per broker and labelled wherever they appear — placeholders for fields our research hub does not publish yet, not checked facts about those firms.
Broker records we publish
Ordered by the traderpublic desk score on each record. Records our desk has not scored are not ranked here.

Frequently asked questions
Is a zero-commission ECN account cheaper?
Not necessarily, and this page cannot tell you which is: the total cost is the spread plus the commission on the same account over the same window, and our hub publishes neither figure yet. The commission and spread values you see are written in and labelled as such.
Do you rank these brokers by execution speed?
No. The order is our published desk score for the whole broker. We do not measure fill speed, slippage or rejection rates, so ranking by them would be inventing a measurement.
