NDD

NDD stands for Non-Dealing Desk bitcoin execution of orders, these NDD BTCUSD Account btcusd brokers do not implement a dealing desk and this is what makes this type of order execution model to have less restrictions as opposed to Dealing Desk Order Execution Model.

NDD Order Execution means that trade positions from the BTCUSD traders account will be executed directly to the interbank exchange btcusd market. Orders will be matched with other orders in the online cryptocurrency market using the broker NDD order execution trade model.

DD means dealing desk, these DD brokers have a dealing desk execution model where they can match orders & execute btcusd crypto order in the online btcusd crypto market.

The bitcoin trader trading with a DD account will get a lot of requotes.

Dealing Desks will issue bitcoin traders with a lot of trading order requotes, meaning bitcoin prices of orders are not real time and the cryptocurrency broker can requote a bitcoin trader's order if the bitcoin price of the btcusd market changes quick enough before the online broker's dealing desk places the order online or before they match the order in online bitcoin market.

Dealing Desk trading accounts therefore means that the order execution of cryptocurrency orders is not instant & hence this execution model might mean that orders executed using a DD BTCUSD Account aren't executed as quickly as when compared & analyzed to an ECN trading account or an STP account.

Market Makers

MM are broker accounts where Market Maker brokers have a dealing-desk execution model where they can match orders in-house without going to the online bitcoin market.

Bitcoin orders also can be executed against their traders - meaning the cryptocurrency broker can take the in the opposite market trend side of a bitcoin traders open trades. This cryptocurrency broker can make the decision to either execute a order that is the in the opposite trend of a bitcoin trader's order thus if the bitcoin trader makes a loss the broker makes a profit, & if the online trader makes a profit the online broker makes a loss.
