Online trading | Direct market access

Pricing transparency and efficiency is essential when trading in the fast paced world of derivatives. Direct Market Access (DMA) allows investors to buy and sell directly on various exchanges around the world without the intervention of market makers.
Level 2 market data provides the most comprehensive and in depth set of data available on trading activity. This means more informed trading and investing with underlying price movements updated in real time.
With access to Level 2 market data you can:

• see the orders awaiting execution on the buy and sell side of the order book
• analyse movements in the price of a security
• identify support and resistance
• become a price maker as opposed to a price taker by deciding at what price to buy or sell and placing the order directly with the Exchange’s order book

Moneycorp Markets provides DMA access to 28 exchanges for Shares, 18 exchanges for CFDs, and access to over 400 Futures contracts.

The key benefits of DMA include: 

• Equal playing field
  Every order is of equal status on the order book, prioritised only in terms of price and time.
• Visibility
  Orders are visible to the entire market so allowing all market participants full contribution to central market liquidity.
• Depth of the Order Book
  It shows you the number of buyers versus the number of sellers and at what price they are willing to trade.
• Set your own price
  Limit orders can be entered at whatever price you choose and will be available to the entire market.
• Auction Participation
  You can participate in the pre-market and post-market auctions where the highest or lowest price of the day often occurs.
• Peace of Mind
  Regulation and market supervision by the Exchange.
• Certainty
  The order book is always available during trading hours.
