Level2 and Lightspeed offer no-code automated trading tools that allow retail traders to build strategies through easy-to-use interfaces.
The collaboration combines a visual platform with the Connect API to make systematic trading accessible without programming skills.
Lightspeed
Financial has formed a partnership with Level2 to offer automated trading tools
that require no programming knowledge, the companies announced today (Monday).
The
collaboration connects Level2's visual strategy-building platform with
Lightspeed's recently released Connect API, allowing traders to create and
deploy automated trading systems through a drag-and-drop interface.
Lightspeed Financial Teams
with Level2 for No-Code Trading Platform
The
partnership targets active traders who want to use systematic trading
approaches without learning computer programming.
Tom Gibb, president and chief operating officer of Lightspeed Financial Services Group
Under the
agreement, users can build trading strategies using Level2's visual tools, then
execute them through Lightspeed's brokerage infrastructure. The platform
includes backtesting capabilities that let traders evaluate their strategies
against historical market data before deploying real capital.
“We're
proud to partner with Level2 to help traders take control of their strategies
like never before,” said Tom Gibb, president and chief operating officer
of Lightspeed Financial Services Group. “By combining our high-performance
API with Level2's visual platform, we're eliminating complexity and unlocking a
new era of accessible, data-driven trading.”
Social Trading Component
The
platform also incorporates social trading features, enabling users to share
strategies with other traders and follow approaches developed by community
members. This represents an expansion beyond traditional brokerage services
into collaborative trading environments.
Level2's
system processes market data in real-time and can automatically execute trades
based on predefined parameters set by users. The company positions its
technology as making institutional-grade trading tools accessible to individual
investors.
“This
partnership not only expands the capabilities available to our users but also
underscores Lightspeed's dedication to delivering exceptional tools,” said
Evan Berryman, senior vice president of strategic partnerships at Lightspeed
Financial Services Group.
Algos Reshape Market
The timing
reflects broader market trends, with algorithmic trading projected to grow from
$2.53 billion in 2025 to $4.06 billion by 2032, representing a compound annual
growth rate of 7.0%. Alternative research suggests even faster expansion, with
the market potentially reaching $22.03 billion in 2025, up from $19.95 billion
in 2024.
Automation
is changing the very nature of trading, removing much of the human error,
emotional bias, and manual input that historically characterized financial
decision-making. Today’s trading bots can scan and act on market signals across
multiple exchanges simultaneously, executing thousands of trades in
milliseconds. Tools once exclusive to hedge funds are now increasingly embedded
in mainstream trading platforms, making algorithmic execution part of the
retail landscape as well.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
