Question to Matthew re forex at OEC

OEC offers now forex trading from their platform, however, they simply act as an Introducing Broker for Gain Capital. So one still has to set up a forex account with Gain and send the funds for forex trading to Gain.



Now, what advantage, if any - and I am strictly talking about auto trading systems which offer "free subscriptions at approved fx brokers" is there in placing orders with OEC rather than Gain directly? Is it, for example, that there is a better connectivity between C2 and OEC than C2 and Gain? OEC still has to send the order to Gain.
