L2 data feed query

[merantau]

Hi,

I could do with some clarification.  I note that L2 data feeds are available via IG on a per-market basis.  I have previously used L2 data elsewhere on a very occasional basis and would like to deploy it occasionally with IG.

If I select L2 data from a market, will I be charged only for months in which it is selected or do I have to provide notice if I want to cancel?

Will I need additional software to view the L2 feed with IG?

Also, I don't see the 'DMA Equities' option in My Account > Settings > Preferences that I am supposed to set to use L2 data. that  Is this restricted to some account type other than the share-dealing account that I use?

Thanks,

m

You will be charged from the point of activation to the point of cancelation, even if you don't use the data or deal. You need to provide a request to cancel to stop the service. Full terms read as follows:

• Data fees vary by exchange and by depth of data as indicated in the table. Delayed data is free.
• Fees are charged a month in advance, on the last day of the previous month.
• Fees are rebated to clients who meet the 'Rebate level' for the exchange within the month.
• The 'Rebate level' is the number of trades specified in the table on the exchange within the month.
• Where applicable, fees are rebated in arrears on the last day of the month.
• Fees are not prorated, ie the full month's fees apply whenever you are able to view data at any time during that month.
• Fees are charged whether or not you actually view any data from an exchange within a month.
• Fees are charged in local currencies. The 'totals' in the table are for guidance only.

You can use the regular browser, however if you want additional functionality you may find the following useful. https://www.ig.com/uk/l2-trading-platform

You should be able to see this under the following location. My IG > Settings > Data Feed.
