15-minute delayed market data provides price information that is delayed by 15 minutes from current market activity. This means you’re viewing bid prices, ask prices, last traded prices, and volume data as they existed a quarter-hour ago. In a demo account, delayed data lets you practice chart reading, technical analysis, and strategy development without needing real-time feeds—ideal for learning platform features and testing ideas in a low-pressure environment.

Level 1 market data provides real-time pricing information for a security, including:

• Best bid price – The highest price buyers are willing to pay
• Best ask price – The lowest price sellers are willing to accept
• Last traded price – The most recent execution price
• Trading volume – Total shares or contracts traded

In demo mode with LV1 data, you practice reading live market conditions and executing simulated trades with current pricing—helping you build the reflexes and decision-making skills needed for real trading without financial risk.

Level 2 market data includes everything in Level 1, plus a detailed view of the order book showing:

• Multiple bid and ask prices at different levels beyond the best available
• Order size available at each price level
• Market participant information (often broken out by market maker or exchange)

With LV2 in a demo account, you can practice reading market depth, understanding liquidity patterns, and timing entries/exits based on real order flow—all critical skills for active day traders and scalpers, refined risk-free before going live.

Level 1 shows you the best available prices in real time – the top of the order book. Level 2 shows you market depth beyond the best price in real time – revealing multiple price levels, order sizes, and liquidity at each level. If you’re learning to identify where support and resistance might form, or practicing how to read volume waiting at different prices, Level 2 is essential in your demo training. For mastering basic price tracking and execution mechanics, Level 1 is sufficient.

Customizable watchlists and alerts help you practice monitoring multiple assets efficiently and develop systems for staying informed about important market movements without constantly watching your screen.

Practice using watchlists to:

• Organize securities by strategy, sector, or any criteria that fits your developing trading style
• Track multiple assets simultaneously in a single, organized view
• Build familiarity with securities you plan to trade for faster execution when you go live

You should set alerts for:

• Price thresholds (above or below specific levels)
• Price movements (percentage changes or dollar amounts)
• Technical indicators (moving average crossovers, volume spikes, etc.)
• Custom conditions based on your specific criteria

This feature lets you develop workflow habits for monitoring numerous opportunities across different markets in your demo account, allowing you to focus on analysis and strategy development while the platform watches the market for you.
