Bilow, Great post! I use Level-2 and a direct-access broker also. One small clarification to the comment:

"Direct access is not possible without having a level-2 screen. The reason is that you wouldn't know how to address the counterparty."

Technically, you don't have to have Level-2 to access the ISLD book. This is available at www.island.com or in QCharts. Neither requires Level-2 access. Therefore, you could use a Direct Access broker and preference Island without a Level-2 screen. (Preferencing Island is my preferred option.) I think it is better to trade *with* Level-2 access when you use the Island book, but it is *possible* without Level-2.

Good trading and regards,

Dan.
