ECN spreads same as Market Makers?

Hello everyone,

First post on this forum.

I have seen Youtube videos that show MB trading’s spreads alongside other market maker’s spreads in two seperate windows and they move virtually together with the same pip spread.

So my question is, why would you pay a commission with an ECN when the spreads stay virtually the same as a MM?

Because they dont pure and simple. You are trading the real market wherever the bid/offer lies not the market makers

Opps! my bad, I thought Dukascopy was a MM. After going to their website I see that they are an ECN, so that explains why their spreads were moving together.
