FOREX ECN BROKER
ECN is an acronym for Electronic Communications Network. A Forex ECN does
not operate a dealing desk but instead provides a marketplace where multiple
market makers, banks and traders can enter competing bids and offers into
the platform either inside or outside the spread, allowing traders to trade
against each other and with multiple counterparties. A trader might open a
trade with liquidity provider "A" and close it with liquidity provider "B",
or have the trade executed against the bid or offer of another trader.
Participants of the ECN send in competing bids and offers into the platform
and the combined volume is usually displayed to traders at each price.
Orders are matched between counterparties, usually for a small fee.

DEALING DESK, NDD
A dealing desk provides prices and executes trades.
NDD, An acronym for 'No Dealing Desk'. A no-dealing desk broker uses a
matching engine to match up orders between its liquidity providers and their
clients. The liquidity providers send in competing bids and offers into the
platform, resulting in the best bid and offer being displayed to the trader.
A no dealing desk broker may increase the spread instead of charging a
commission to their clients.
MARKET MAKER
A market maker provides liquidity for a particular currency pair and stands
ready to buy or sell that currency by displaying a bid and offer price. A
market maker takes the opposite side of your trade and has the option of
holding that position or partially or fully offsetting it with other
dealers, managing their aggregate exposure to the market. Market makers earn
their commission from the spread between the bid and offer price.
