L2 Installation

Please use the link below to install L2 Dealer. If you have any questions about the installation, please contact us and we will be pleased to help.

Before starting, please ensure that you have registered for L2. Without this agreement from you, we cannot allow you to trade with the platform.

Please click on the 'Install L2 Dealer' link below. You can either open the file directly, or save it locally and then run it. In either case the .exe file will install a copy of the L2 platform on your PC. Once you have installed the application, you can log in with your usual details.

Microsoft .NET framework

L2 requires that you have the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed on your PC. The L2 installation will automatically check for this, and will prompt you if required.

Alternatively you can go to the Windows Update homepage (accessed from your Start menu or at Windows Update) and go to the optional updates and select .NET from the options there.

CFDs are leveraged products. CFD trading may not be suitable for everyone and can result in losses that exceed your initial investment, so please ensure that you fully understand the risks involved.
