STP/ECN Execution at LHFX

LHFX routes your trades through a Straight-Through Processing (STP) and Electronic Communication Network (ECN) model. Your orders reach the market without a dealing desk in between.

Raw spreads from 0.0 pips, no requotes, and no conflict of interest. Every order goes directly to market.

What Is STP/ECN Execution?

STP (Straight-Through Processing) means your order goes straight to the market. There is no dealing desk sitting between you and the price feed. The broker passes your trade through without intervention.

ECN (Electronic Communication Network) means your orders are matched against a pool of liquidity from multiple sources. This produces tighter pricing because multiple participants are quoting prices at the same time.

The result: you get raw market prices and fast fills. LHFX does not operate a dealing desk. Orders are routed to market, and the spread you see is the spread you trade on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does STP/ECN mean?

STP stands for Straight-Through Processing, meaning your order goes directly to the market without passing through a dealing desk. ECN stands for Electronic Communication Network, where your orders are matched against a pool of liquidity from multiple sources. Together, STP/ECN execution gives you raw market prices and fast order fills.

Does LHFX have a dealing desk?

No. LHFX operates a pure STP/ECN execution model. Orders are routed straight to the market. There is no dealing desk that can reject, re-price, or trade against your orders.

Can I scalp with an ECN broker?

Yes. ECN brokers like LHFX place no restrictions on scalping. Because there is no dealing desk, there is no reason to limit how quickly you open and close trades. Hedging and Expert Advisors are also fully supported.

Why are ECN spreads lower?

ECN spreads reflect raw market pricing aggregated from multiple liquidity sources. Dealing desk brokers add a markup to the spread as part of their revenue model. With ECN execution, the spread is passed through as-is and the broker charges a separate flat commission instead.
