we are some have a very thought about HF broker zero spread account is not true financial market Challenge Statement to HF Markets
I want to confirm that my trading account is on A-Book / True ECN execution, not on B-Book dealing desk.
I understand that A-Book means all orders are sent directly to liquidity providers and the real market.
B-Book means the broker takes the opposite side of the client’s trades, acting as a market maker.
As a trader, I am only interested in fair and transparent ECN trading.
Also, I noticed that I cannot see the Depth of Market (DOM) on my platform. I know that not every broker shows DOM, but with a true ECN model, DOM should display real orders coming from liquidity providers.
So my challenge to HF Markets is this: Can you prove that my account is really ECN (A-Book only) and not B-Book? If not, I will have to consider moving to a broker that provides full transparency with DOM and direct market execution.
