RE: Lev. II

Lev. II is a screen that allows you to see what the Market Makers are doing.

The spread on a stock is determined by the best price a particular market maker is willing to pay to buy stock (BID SIDE) vs. the best price that a market maker is willing to take to sell stock (ASK SIDE).

The MM's buy stock on the bid side and sell it on the ask side.
(the difference is where they make their money)

The disparity between the highest and lowest bid/ask is common.

For instance, some MM's are not active in trading the stock and are not aggressively buying or selling.

However, in most cases, the higher the disparity is between the MM's the more volatile a stock trades.

Also note that the Lev. II screen is actively changing. MM's move up and down and change their prices they are willing to buy and sell. When I post the Lev. II it is just a picture of what is going on at that particular moment.
