I tend to use it a lot! In the most basic terms, it consists of combining various exchanges to give you better liquidity. Most platforms which offer Direct Market Access only give you to one exchange LSE (London Stock Exchange) whereas with a provider that offers MTFs, you tend to get more. The one I use through Accendo Markets, give me access to trade via LSE, Chi-X and BATS, which means I have more liquidity from the three exchanges.
