DMA CFD Trading

Direct market access (DMA) is an advanced method of viewing and trading share CFDs.

The benefits of DMA

With regular over-the-counter (OTC, or level one) CFD trading you see a single market price – the current bid/offer spread derived from the underlying
equities exchange.

DMA (also known as level two, or L2) trading, however, lets you view significantly extended pricing data from a number of international exchanges. You can gauge the market’s liquidity and place orders at any level, potentially mitigating any market spread.

You can also place orders during pre- and post-trading auctions, to take advantage of the substantial liquidity and potential for further price savings available during these popular trading periods.
