DMA Trading

Direct Market Access (DMA) trading allows you to trade share CFDs at prices and liquidity that are identical to the underlying market.

This means you can trade on equities at the underlying market price, see the full market depth, and even place orders inside the market spread.

Why use DMA?

With Level 1 trading you trade share CFDs at the current bid and offer price. However with Level 2, or DMA trading, you get direct access to the order book of the world's main equity exchanges, allowing you to see greater market depth and essentially make the market price.

While Level 2 trading might not be suitable for everyone, traders looking to gain full access to prices and gauge the liquidity of the market on either side of the exchange could benefit from DMA.
