The above table is only a guide. Most brokers offer several different account types that may include some or all of the above features.

Broker type

ECN/STP : Forex ECNs execution provides access to an electronic trading network, supplied with streaming quotes from the top tier banks in the world. By trading through an ECN broker, a currency trader generally benefits from greater price transparency, faster processing, increased liquidity and more availability in the marketplace. STP or Straight Through Processing provides fairer processing as the clients order is not subject to a brokers dealing desk that may give rise to price manipulation.

NDD : No dealing desk may provide better transparency.

DD : Dealing desk used. If the brokers compensation model is based on spreads 'only' it is in best interests for the broker to assist the trader to keep trading profitably and successfully. Thus not all dealing desk brokers can be considered as bad. Typically though, dealing desk brokers make money from their clients from the spread "as well" as trading against its clients. Known as Market Makers they take the opposite side of the clients position.

Lot size

Not all brokers offer smaller account sizes. The smallest is micro which means each lot of 0.01 equals 10c. Then there is mini which means each lot of 0.1 lot size equals $1.00. The standard account size means each lot of 1.0 equals $10.00.
This is important as the smaller the account the easier to control risk. Some automated trading systems require micro accounts.

Spreads

The spreads shown are based on the EUR/USD during the most favorable trading conditions. The average rates are higher than those shown. Rates vary depending on a number of factors, such as volatility during news announcements and at other times when there is less liquidity such as when businesses are less active near holidays.
