電子通信網(wǎng)絡(luò)(ElectronicCommunicationsNetwork，ECN)，根據(jù)美國(guó)證券交易委員會(huì)的定義，電子通信網(wǎng)絡(luò)是在一定的價(jià)格下可自動(dòng)對(duì)買賣訂單進(jìn)行撮合配對(duì)的電子交易系統(tǒng)。ECN不依賴經(jīng)紀(jì)商，而是通過(guò)電子網(wǎng)絡(luò)直接將買者和賣者連接起來(lái)進(jìn)行交易。因此，對(duì)于中小投資者來(lái)說(shuō)，如果不計(jì)傭金的話，交易成本更低，速度更快。具有透明，匿名，中介環(huán)節(jié)少，交易時(shí)間長(zhǎng)等優(yōu)勢(shì)。這吸引了大量的機(jī)構(gòu)投資者和經(jīng)紀(jì)商加入該系統(tǒng)。搶占了傳統(tǒng)交易所的很大份額。從發(fā)展歷程上看，技術(shù)進(jìn)步，傳統(tǒng)做市商市場(chǎng)透明度低，成交價(jià)和委托價(jià)的差額大是ECN電子通信網(wǎng)絡(luò)產(chǎn)生的客觀條件。ECN的運(yùn)行基于雙邊授信基礎(chǔ)，根據(jù)“價(jià)格優(yōu)先．時(shí)間優(yōu)先”的交易原則，由系統(tǒng)自動(dòng)匹配完成交易。它集中了傳統(tǒng)OTC市場(chǎng)和集中撮合交易的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。并通過(guò)直通處理方式(STP)為交易商提供一個(gè)高效．低成本的交易平臺(tái)。
