Automation Without Barriers

Level2 and Lightspeed Financial Services Group are teaming up to make algo trading accessible, visual, and community-driven. By integrating Level2’s no-code strategy builder with Lightspeed’s new Connect API, the two firms are empowering traders to automate without needing to write a single line of code.

This collaboration is designed for today’s fast-moving trading landscape-where speed, customization, and execution efficiency are key.

Implications for the Prop Space

For prop traders and firms, this partnership signals a shift: no-code tools are no longer just for beginners. With real-time backtesting, performance analytics, and execution-ready workflows, Level2 gives serious traders the power to deploy systematic strategies with precision.

The visual interface reduces tech overhead, allowing firms to onboard talent faster and encourage creative strategy development-especially for firms promoting trader education and collaboration.

Strategy Meets Community

A standout feature? Level2’s collaborative trading environment. Traders can share, follow, and iterate on each other’s strategies, building a community-first model of algo development. It's a natural fit for prop firms experimenting with social trading, gamified dashboards, or team-based challenges.

“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,” said Tom Gibb, President & COO of Lightspeed.
