Apart from all these, other parameters like stop-loss, slippage and take available profit during placing an order etc too feature here. As you know that there are many forex metatrader brokers available, choosing a correct broker which suits your style and meet your needs becomes quite difficult. If you think that all metatrader brokers are equal then you are mistaken. Even though they offer the same software to their clients, their may be certain things which are quite different like swap rates, spreads, minimum lot sizes etc. if you decide to choose scalping strategies you will require to go with a STP(straight through processing) or NDD(no dealing desk)  metatrader broker. This means that your broker is not a market maker broker. Many MM brokers often try to take advantage of their clients and trade against them but this is not the case with STP brokers. They don’t really bother about their client’s losses or profits as it doesn’t affect them financially.

On the other hand, the NDD broker will be glad by the client’s success as this will get them more commissions. STP or NDD brokers are also known as ECN- electronic communication network. Don’t be shy to ask your broker whether they trade against you or not. It would be better if you ask them before downloading the demo software. If the broker doesn’t give you clear justifications of your questions then probably they are not STP or NDD forex metatrader brokers. One more thing to verify before selecting a metatrader broker is that whether they allow robots on their servers or not. There are some MT4 brokers who don’t permit robots on their servers or have policy against certain EAs. The metatrader brokers will be able to provide you with correct prices with metatrader 4 and you can also access third party programs.
