Multi-venue Technology

The introduction of multi-venue technology lets you trade share CFDs at even better prices than before.

Recently there has been a rapid increase in the number of Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs). These essentially function as an alternative to stock exchanges for traders, often providing better prices than the primary exchanges and accounting for up to 40% of a share’s overall liquidity.

From Monday 16 November, in addition to using traditional exchanges we will also be sourcing prices on leading UK and European equities from Chi-X and Turquoise, Europe's two leading MTFs.

How does it work?

Our new technology works behind-the-scenes to find the best price available (regardless of whether it’s on an MTF or on a standard exchange) and displays it on your Deal Ticket in PureDeal. You will only notice one difference to your trading experience: even better prices on share CFDs.

How is PureDMA affected?

If you are trading share CFDs using PureDMA, there are additional benefits provided by the new technology – including a greater chance of your orders being filled at the selected level. You can find out about the benefits of MTFs for PureDMA users by visiting our DMA Equities page.

You can download a full PDF list of shares available from MTFs.
