- New! Multi-venue Technology
We are delighted to announce the launch of our new multi-venue technology, which offers the ability to access even better prices on share CFDs.
The recent rapid expansion of Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs) offers the capability for better prices than those available on the primary exchanges, such as LSE and Euronext. These alternative execution venues can account for up to 40% of liquidity in the most popular UK stocks. Our new multi-venue technology provides the opportunity for you to benefit from increased liquidity, better pricing and free live data.
Tighter market spreads
Our new consolidated price feed combines the best prices from the primary exchanges with those of Europe's two leading MTFs – Chi-X and Turquoise. As a result, our technology will be able to draw upon a greater range of liquidity to offer even tighter market spreads.
Free live feeds
We are also now able to offer free live prices using MTF data on top UK and European shares. Traders not wishing to pay for live data from the major exchanges are able to view live prices from the no-fee MTFs. And our Price Improvement technology means that if a better price exists on a fee-liable venue, we can pass it on.
DMA trading
Through our award-winning PureDeal platform, you can trade directly into the order book of the world's equity exchanges with PureDMA. Our new Smart Order Router will automatically send your order to the venue providing the best price available at the time.
Our new multi-venue technology goes live on Monday 16 November 2009. Visit the MTFs section of our website for further details.
