was reply to a question that is hard or next to impossible to phrase correctly to be searched on google

do a search w/keyword "Level II" on google will give you more than enough information on this topic.

the person started this thread didn't care for it enough to do a simple search before asking his question. its call "due diligence"... i only can redirect him back to step 1. research!

I answered my own question.... This thread is over!!!

Just for the record I did do research on the net and didn't find exactly what I was looking for and I did a search on this site... Thats why I posted a question here. Sorry to be a inconvience


Thanks...

Quote from Rowan128:

it took me forever, but I finally found exactly what I was looking for....


By default the following colors apply:

Red - trade occurred on the bid.

Green - trade occurred on the ask.

Light Blue - trade occurred inside the bid or ask.

Dark blue - trade occurred outside the bid or ask.

Pink - special condition for the quote or trade.

White - regular text.

That is really cool. Thanks for posting that. I watch streaming quotes on OptionsXpress and see red and green and just assumed red meant sales and green meant buys

I don't know if your color explanation has anything to do with what I see there but I never read such an interesting thing before...

Thanks a lot!
