What is ECN2?

ECN² (ECN Square) is an Institutional Based Multi-ECN data feed built real-time to provide you with competitive rates and anonymous order management. Available to High Net Worth investors and Eligible Contract Participants (ECP), the ECN² technology has the power to aggregate multiple ECNs under one account, thus allowing for a clear overall status update thanks to a cumulative netting of positions. Unlike other forex aggregators, ECN² features an intelligent local aggregation, thus adding further transparency, low spreads and the possibility of inverted spreads.

Competitive low and inverted Spreads

PathFinder Trader™’s powerful technology is built around the trader’s need, to empower you with boundary-breaking tools. On the ECN² data feed, available prices are streamed directly to your terminal and displayed on the ScalperBook on an intuitive and competitive bid/ask system. Thanks to the ECN² technology executable prices are updated quickly in front of you in real-time, thus potentially reducing further latency otherwise found in other aggregators and thus revealing tight spreads which might also be inverted.

One Account

The technology behind ECN² allows for multiple ECNs to be associated to one account through one counterpart, thus providing you with a complete picture of your portfolio across the multiple ECNs available in your account. Trade on a credit or a margin based, or even hold unused funds in a segregated account (available on selected accounts through cross margination).
