How to ensure your MetaTrader 4 orders make it to the open market

A MetaTrader to ECN solution is not a new idea. But for many traders, finding an ideal way to connect and sync MetaTrader 4 to their ECN has been elusive. It's now not only possible, but it even works two-ways, ensuring your trades stay in sync, while ensuring they make it to the open market.

Since its introduction in 2005, the MetaTrader 4 trading platform by MetaQuotes has been the ideal and most-used trading platform in the world. It has the ability to cover trading platforms and financial markets world-wide and it has a multi-currency based system. The platform's populartiy has the majority of traders and brokerages using it as part of their forex trading environment. 

Although the platform is so popular, traders have always had to wonder if their trades makes it directly to the open market or stay within the doors of their brokerages. Fair Trading Technology has created a transparent product in the T3 Integration Bridge, allowing traders to see their trades make it to the ECN of Dukascopy Bank SA. You can place your order within MetaTrader then be able to see that it has made it to the ECN and onto the market, transparently and verifiably.

How is Fair Trading Technology using the MetaTrader 4 trading platform differently than brokers?

The MetaTrader 4 to ECN solution is not a new idea, but one that has been plagued with problems. Order discrepancies, order rejects, the elusive common error and not ever knowing if your order ever actually made it outside of your brokerages office was not a sustainable business model in our eyes. It has been a classic case of two good products—MetaTrader 4, the world's most requested Forex trading platform, and Dukascopy Bank, the world's largest liquidity provider—getting coupled with a poor system which unfortunately led to a poor solution. Fair Trading Technology has not only solved these issues with their T3 Integration Bridge, but together as an external service provider to Dukascopy Bank, they offer the best solution available to FX traders today.

Why should I use the MetaTrader 4 solution and the Fair Trading Technology T3 Bridge instead of going to a broker?

Few markets require the levels of privacy, trust and honesty between its participants as the FX market. This creates one of the largest obstacles for traders, investors, and institutions to overcome because of the lack of transparency. Transparency is at the heart of the T3 Integration Bridge and that ensures that your trades make it to the open market without hassle. The T3 Integration Bridge offers you the opportunity to combine the world's most used platform, the MT4, with the advantages of the open ECN market. These things combined with a fair commission system should convince you to use the T3 Integration Bridge from Fair Trading Technology instead of going to a broker.

If you use jforex can you also use the FTT MT4 platform at the same time?

The T3 Execution Bridge was built around the idea of total flexibility, that FX traders should not have to choose between MetaTrader or an ECN. You can execute orders from MT4 to Dukascopy Bank or execute orders from Dukascopy, which are automatically replicated to MT4. Both platforms can be used at the same time, allowing you to use each of the platforms' strengths simultaneously.
