L2 Service


Monions

Question

Hi,

 

I've just noticed that you no longer offer a rebate for LSE Live and L2 data feeds. You used to rebate the monthly charge if at least one trade were placed per month. Has this now been removed?

 

I looked at the IG L2 service earlier in the year and felt it was too light compared to that offered by LSE.co.uk and ADVFN. However, I would like to review it again as I am unhappy with the performance I currently get from my other supplier. If possible I would prefer to consolidate it in the IG account.

 

Mark.

I hand't spotted this until now, but checking back I see there was an email on the 22 June. The rebate on LSE has been removed. Instead, we get Live prices for free.

 

I was subscribed to level 2 for the LSE, and received the rebate before the change. I would say that level 2 on IG, while well priced compared to say ADVFN, was of limited use unless you use their level 2 dealer application. Within Web and the app, it only displays the top 4 lines of the level 2 data, with no way to view more. Consequently, it isn't as useful as it might be on Web and app.

 

I asked about it here: https://community.ig.com/t5/Web-platform-and-Apps/Level-2-data/m-p/12138

Thanks Anders,

 

That's what I was concerned about. The four lines with no detailed information or names of Market Makers against each buy/sell order is too limited. It also has to be web based as I use Macs and therefore the L2 trader platform is not an option.

 

I'll look for other L2 suppliers.

    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
