*All IBLV Automated tools — including LMS and TraderX — rely on **real-time Level 2 (order book) data**.*

{% hint style="info" %}

### KEY POINT

IBLV Automated tools do not generate data.

They read what your data provider supplies.
{% endhint %}

### LEVEL 2 DATA IS REQUIRED

👉 This is required for both LMS and TraderX.

Without Level 2 data:

* LMS will not display liquidity levels
* TraderX will not function correctly

***

### NOT ALL DATA IS THE SAME

Different providers offer different levels of data quality.

#### FULL DEPTH vs LIMITED DATA

| Feature               | Full Depth Data       | Limited Data       |
| --------------------- | --------------------- | ------------------ |
| Order Book Visibility | Multiple price levels | Few visible levels |
| LMS Levels            | Full and consistent   | Reduced or missing |
| TraderX Accuracy      | High                  | Reduced            |
| Market Context        | Complete              | Incomplete         |

{% hint style="info" %}

### FINAL NOTE

IBLV Automated is built for **institutional-level order flow data**.

For best results, use a **full depth Level 2 data provider**.
