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.

The partnership targets active traders who want to use systematic trading approaches without learning computer programming.

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.
