ECN
No need for 'price feeds' because executable liquidity from banks, ECNs and from other LPs is aggregated and delivered to traders.
NDD
No need for dealers because there are no re-quotes, no 'accept' and 'reject' buttons to press, and no price improvements to 'manage'.
STP
No need for bridges, plugins or 3rd party software because orders are routed directly from traders to the market over FIX.
