NEW YORK, June 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Zero-commission investing platform TradeUP announced today that it is offering Level 2 market data powered by NYSE ArcaBook for free. Users who open an account with TradeUP will receive free access to NYSE ArcaBook for 3 months. Users can get free access to NYSE ArcaBook for an additional 9 months if they can get 5 likes on their social media post.
Unlike Level 1 data, which shows the best bid and ask, Level 2 data provides a broader range of buy and sell orders for a given security on a real-time basis. NYSE ArcaBook provides the 40 best bid and ask prices as well as their order sizes for more than 8,000 U.S.-listed securities. The continuous feed of quotes gives users detailed insights into the price action, which can help them better determine the current buying and selling interest for a particular stock, as well as the likely future direction of the stock’s price. For easier comprehension, TradeUP also includes a depth chart to visualize the order book so that users can identify supply and demand at a glance.
“With NYSE ArcaBook, TradeUP’s users are able to gain a clearer view of market activity,” said Ryan Song, director of TradeUP. “By displaying multiple bids and asks in real-time, Level 2 screens allow investors, especially active traders, to gauge trade signals with intraday pricing and volume. For instance, investors can have a better sense of market liquidity by looking at how quickly buy and sell orders replenish. “
Song added, “Level 2 market data is often offered as a premium subscription service by other ‘zero-commission’ trading platforms, which means users still have to pay for access. TradeUP, on the other hand, makes this free to average U.S. retail investors. At TradeUP, zero-commission does not mean fewer product or service offerings. Instead, our goal is to utterly remove the last remaining barriers to investing for everyone.”
Launched in January 2020, TradeUP is a fintech-powered investing platform that quickly drew the attention of young investors due to its intuitive and sleek design. According to Song, TradeUP also plans to upgrade its data provision to provide extra depth to users. Users may access additional, in-depth information and features available on TradeUP from the Discover module such as the economic calendar, most active stocks, and customizable alerts.
