Key Features
Direct Market Access through L2 Dealer brings you a number of advantages over regular trading, putting greater control and efficiency at your fingertips.
Versatility of Trading
Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs)
Our smart-order router hunts across a range of alternative venues – including BATS, Chi-X and Turquoise – for the best price available.
View full-depth trading data across our alternative exchanges at no charge, and on the London Stock Exchange for a small monthly payment.
Prices can be either examined individually or combined into a single 'hybrid' window.
Dark Liquidity Pools
Access off-book activity to take advantage of substantial dark liquidity pools, further improving the available price.
As with MTF trading, our smart-order router seeks out the best possible price and delivers it automatically.
Price Improvement
Over a third of FTSE® 100 liquidity passes through venues other than the LSE *, so alternative exchanges can provide a significant improvement on the available price.
Even a partial Dark Pool fill on your order can provide a substantial saving, while MTF fills provide a smaller, more commonly occurring price improvement.

Professional Trading Platform
From Reuters news feeds to a powerful charts package, L2 Dealer includes all of the functions of our PureDeal platform and adds an array of high-level tools for the experienced trader.
L2 Efficiency
Eliminate wasted clicks with our quick-trade tools. With no 're-quotes' or dealer-referred tickets, your trades will hit the markets without delay.
Ladder dealing tool lets you drag and drop trades straight into the order book at the depth you want. Amending or deleting orders is simply a matter of dragging them up and down - or off the price ladder.
Attach news feeds and live charts to the main viewing window. When you select another market, the linked windows switch automatically right along with you.
L2 Power
Our iceberg facility allows you to break large SETS orders into a number of smaller tranches, concealing the full size of your order to keep from unduly influencing the book price.
Gain an edge in auctions and other time-critical trades with the MS Excel-compatible 'Watchlist Pro' function: pre-prepare a number of individual positions, either in the dealer or elsewhere, and release them all at once with a single click.
