Level II market data shows multiple bid and ask prices from Nasdaq for any given security so investors can better determine the availability or desire for a security at a certain price. It is functionally equivalent to limit buy orders that other investors have open for the same security.
If the stock sells for $102,500, the investor can close out the order with an open buy order at the lower price, which will result in a higher price than the original bid.
The same is true for sell orders, with the exception that the open sell order must be placed before the close of the trading day, and the closing price must not be less than or equal to the previous day’s close.

How do you read a Robinhood depth chart?
The price of the asset during the last trade is split in the middle of a depth chart. The bottom is organized by price.
On the left side you have the lowest buy order that buyers hope the asset will become so they can buy it at a higher price, and on the right side you have the highest sell order that sellers hope will allow them to sell their shares at a higher price. This is due to the fact that the market is moving from one direction to another.
The price is going up and down, but it is not moving in a straight line. Instead, it moves in circles. If you are a trader, this means that you need to pay attention to what is happening in order to make the most of your trades.
For example, if you want to buy a stock at $100 and sell it for $80, then you will have to wait a few days to see if the stock goes up or down.
What does Level 2 data show?
High bid prices, participants and volume are a set of the highest current bid prices for this asset, defined as the highest prices at which investors have placed an order to buy it. The bids are ranked in order from best to worst. Level 3 data sets tell you the same thing, but in reverse order: Lowest bids, highest volume, and participants.
In this case, it’s the participants who are at the top of their game, with the most volume and the largest number of orders placed at any given time. The participants in Level 3 are the ones who have the biggest impact on the price of an asset – they’re the people who can make or break an investment.
They’re also, by definition, high-volume investors, meaning that they’ve placed a lot of bids for the asset in a short period of time, which means they have a large amount of liquidity on their side.
Do you need Level 2 to day trade?
Level 2 can be a very valuable tool to have as a day trader. If you see a lot of sellers on the ask, and you assume that they will be bought out, you will be able to make a decent profit. The downside of this is that you have to be willing to take a loss on your trades.
If you don’t want to lose money on a trade, it might be best to wait until the market is more bearish before taking a position. This is especially true if you think that the price of the stock is going to go up significantly in the near future.
How do you get to level 3 on Robinhood?
Level three options trading requires adequate experience in trading options. If the app tells you that you need more experience, you’ll be able to apply again once you’ve improved your trading skills. Level three options are the most common type of options you can trade. These options allow you to buy or sell a specific amount of stock at a specified price.
You can use these options for a variety of reasons, such as to hedge your position in a stock, or to speculate on the price of a company’s stock. For example, if you want to bet on how much the stock price will go up or down in the future, a level three option could be a great way to do that.
However, it’s important to note that level 3 options aren’t the same as level two options, which are similar to level one options. In fact, they’re a little different. Level 2 options can only be used for hedging, and level 1 options cannot be hedged.

What does Level 2 mean in trading?
Level II shows you the order book for Nasdaq stocks, including the best bid and ask prices by various market makers and other market participants. You can see who is making a trade, whether they are buying or selling, the size of the order, and the time frame in which the trade is being executed by looking at Level II.
Level III shows the price at which you can buy or sell a stock. This is the lowest price that the stock can be bought or sold at. It is also called the bid-ask spread, or the spread between the highest bid price and lowest ask price.
