Following the technological advancements of its counterparts in the Alpari Group, Alpari (US), a global provider of online Forex trading services, has announced the launch of true ECN trading on MetaTrader 4 (MT4), featuring Straight Through Processing (STP) and Non Dealing Desk (NDD) execution. Alpari Pro account holders can now benefit from spreads below 1 pip* and no re-quotes on MT4, one of the most popular Forex trading platforms.
