ECN brokers should offer you tighter spreads and an overall better trading experience.

In a way, your question is not valid as STP brokers no longer exist in many parts of the world due to regulatory changes. Your only real options when choosing a retail Forex broker are ECN or market market.

I hope this helps.
If I can do it, so can you!

ECN” stands for “Electronic Communications Network”. ECN brokers construct and utilize such networks to match their client's trade orders directly with others.

Don't confuse ECN/DMA and NDD/STP . ECN and DMA - there are platforms, STP/NDD - there is technology of order execution/processing. ECN/DMA involves STP technology.

before choosing a broker its more appropriate
to trade with a small account to see the real performance of any broker.

It’s good idea; but as I see; a number of traders follow this way since it’s a long term process! But the point is; it’s a secure way of selecting a trading broker!

I’ve been trading at ECN a/c with Turnkeyforex for past 9 months but they also have separate account called STP a/c, what are the differences between these two?

Stick with ECN fully independent. Go to market to get a trade. Do not rely on some broker matching at their chosen rate

Yes; it’s our own decision & traders need to select their broker only based on their trading requirements only!
