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.
Key difference from standard platforms: Where typical retail platforms show indicative pricing, L2 Dealer displays actual exchange order books. You'll see real-time market depth and authentic price discovery.
