What is L2 Dealer?

L2 Dealer provides experienced Singapore traders with direct market access (DMA) capabilities typically reserved for institutional clients.

This advanced platform integrates with your existing IG account whilst offering specialised tools for professional-level execution. Your orders route directly to global exchanges including SGX, NYSE and NASDAQ.

Please note: L2 Dealer is designed for experienced traders familiar with direct market access. CFD trading carries significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
