NDD
A broker model that routes your orders directly to liquidity providers instead of taking the other side of your trade.
Why NDD Matters
Understanding NDD helps you compare brokers on broker types & execution and avoid surprises. It's one of the details our reviews check so you can judge a broker on evidence, not marketing.
