MARKET MAKER - one of the oldest form of Forex brokerage.

Market Makers ideal for:

• Ideal for beginner traders (low deposit, high leverage, mini/micro lots, fair start with great beginner education and support)
• Ideal for certain trading strategies (that don't survive otherwise in extremely volatile markets)
• NOT ideal at all for scalping (as scalping is often either prohibited or quite closely monitored)

Market Maker Forex Brokers vs STP vs ECN

Market Makers = Dealing Desk, direct conflict of interest due to trading against clients

STPs = No Dealing Desk, no direct trading against clients, yet while the orders are passed to the Liquidity Providers - these are no one other than the Market makers themselves, just one step above in the trading chain.

Who is the winner?
For the simplicity of dealing = the Market makers
For the flexibility and anonymity = STPs, DMAs and ECNs

Forex brokers oftentimes run a combination of Dealing models, e.g. offering dealing desk (Market maker) accounts for beginners, as well as no-dealing desk accounts for more experienced traders.

A single Forex broker can be a Market maker + ECN at the same time. It's therefore important to understand what trading conditions apply to your specific Forex account, so that not to under/overestimate your trading relationships with a Forex brokers.
