Buyers vs Sellers Orders Volume on Webull Level 2

The originality of Webull Level 2 Advance market data is from the Top chart of the orders Level.

It looks as shown in the image below.

On the right hand side in red, the sellers orders (30 orders are used to summaries this view) volume is what is represented on the vertical axis.

The horizontal axis describes the price of the stock, in this case, QQQ was trading at $352.06.

The left hand side column captures the volume of all buying orders.

In the above view, the red shaded area (volume of selling orders) is much higher than the left green area.

This means that there is more selling volume that buying volume.

Therefore, the current momentum in bearish.

Price for QQQ is then expected to slide lower to the left should the bearish momentum continues.

This graphical representation of Level 2 Market data on Webull is dynamic as buyers and sellers orders come in.

As an example, later on, I capture this similar view when buyers took control and the price moved up from $352 to $353.6.

Dynamic of Webull Level 2 Market Data

Unlike Level 1 where you can only see the best Bid and Ask prices and the corresponding shares, Level 2 Advance on Webull provides a deeper view of the market.

What I like to pay attention is the dynamic movement of the orders.

Typically, when there is a strong momentum on either side (buying pressure or selling pressure), the chart updates very quickly.

This is a sign for traders to know that the stock or instrument they are trading is attracting a great deal of traders.

Thus, we can expect bigger moves compared to a stock where the movement of the orders is not as rapid.

Here is short video depicting this phenomenon on QQQ towards the closing.

How Many Orders Can You See on Webull Level 2 Market Data

We know that Webull Level 2 Advance orders are ranked 1 through 30.

How many a trader need to display is a matter of personal preference.

I personally prefer to show only the first 10 orders on the Webull Level 2 view below as you saw in the video.

Webull Level 2 gives you the choice to decide how much depth of the order book to display.

Here is how you can modify how many orders on both sides as depicted on the above image.

How To Spot a Bullish Momentum on Webull Level 2

Whenever I am analyzing Webull Level 2 Advance market data on a stock I would Like to trade on the bullish side, my focus is on the bottom right hand side.

So a bullish momentum with great strength is confirmed when order number 9 and 10 start flashing higher and higher prices.

This means that the Ask prices are getting accepted and the stock is likely to sustain a great buying pressure.

In this scenario, the left hand slope (green line volume) needs to be higher than the red line slope as depicted on the second image above for QQQ.

How to Recognize Bearish Momentum On Webull Level 2

For the bearish momentum or selling pressure, the slope of the red line must be above the slope of the green line.

Such is the case on the first image.

Now, using the same technique as above, I am looking at orders 9 and 10 and need to see lower prices flashing in there.

Then we can anticipate that the price is likely to reach those lower prices should the selling pressure continue.

It also must be noted that the higher the size of the shares at this lower prices the more conviction is in the bearish momentum.

Last but not least, in both the bullish and bearish momentum, the range difference between Order # 1 and the bottom orders 9 and 10 is also forthtelling of the amplitude of the move.
