Rod Anderson asks: "Is it me or is the L2 setup with the ask on top of the bid instead on beside it awkward and unnatural?"

In a sense it is more natural to have the Level II display stacked vertically with the bids and asks meeting in the middle. All the prices are sorted in the same direction - higher prices are at the top and lower prices are at the bottom. And you can squeeze the display down into a smaller space so you can have more Level II displays on the screen at the same time.

But even so, QCharts has the ability to show the "Traditional" side by side display - simply right-click on the face of the level II display and select "Traditional" from the pop up menu.
