Advantage
They are a Non-Dealing Desk (NDD) forex broker, so they provide direct access to Interbank market exchange rates. An NDD broker provides trade executions using either Straight Through Processing (STP) or Electronic Communications Network (ECN) or, sometimes, a hybrid of both. These technologies allow customers to directly trade with interbank rates, without any intermediaries. Thus, there is no conflict of interest between the NDD broker and their customers, which is normally the case with market maker brokers.
EGM securities provides trading on Forex, as well as trading CFDs on currency pairs, commodities, indices and metals. Their support is fair, not quite good as some other brokers though. We will talk about this more in our review. Their customer service is 24/6, and they have educational offerings like webinars, blogs and research tools.
Safety of funds
There is also safety of funds with EGM securities as the clients’ money segregation is a requirement from CMA. This means that all the client money is separate from the brokerage money. The funds of EGM securities are also held with a Top Tier Bank. Thus, this would give an additional assurance to the investors regarding their money being safe with EGM Securities.
