The ECN platform in it's setup and usage is not different than the micro and standard market maker platform as they are all based on MT4, however with the ECN side your orders are actually sent directly out into the open market via various liquidity providers, thus there is no dealing desk.
ECN is a far superior trading tool than that of a market maker platform, and if you have the capital to fund an ECN account, then by all means do so.
What is the most optimal use of the ECN platform?
pls. help

Hello csino
The most desirable or satisfactory part I found while testing the ECN demo platform was the closeness I could set my winning stoplosses behind the current price. (1 pip at times) and still increase my profits as I chased behind my orders until the stoploss target was hit.
