Hi Tom

Westmoon was asking about "Straight Thru Processing" (STP) by Contract For Difference (CFD) providers - these are CMC, IGMarkets (IG), GLobal Electronic Trading (GET) and Man Financial.

Until recently CFD orders have been between the buyer and the CFD provider and not seen in the market. One of the CFD providers (I think IG) is now offereing STP - that is your orders are mirrored directly into the market, that is, you still trade with (against?) them but that trade is offset in the physical market (I'm talking about share CFDs).
