Electronic Communications Networks, or ECNs, are electronic trading systems that automatically match buy and sell orders at specified prices. ECNs register in the U.S. with the SEC as broker-dealers, and their subscribers -- typically institutional investors, broker-dealers, and market-makers — can trade directly with the ECN. Individual investors must have an account with a broker-dealer subscriber to have their orders routed to an ECN for execution.[1]
