Two Unique Liquidity Sources

Mt.Cook Financial’s Global/International Division is in a unique position of being able to provide two entirely different liquidity streams for traders to trade on. These include 1.) our ECN stream, and 2.) our DMA stream. Both products have their unique advantages and have been structured from the ground up exclusively for professional FX traders requiring prime conditions and direct access to deep, diversified inter-bank liquidity. Below is a brief comparison between the two feeds, and detailed trading conditions for both.
