I thought level 2 was trustworthy (at least TD America.)
I use to think that it showed all shares at each price level.
Then I found out that it didn't show all shares.
I would place an order and it didn't show up on L2.
Or as me and NITE walked down an Ask order such as in STWS,
there would be no shares below us at the next lower level
but a big block would all of a sudden show up on next step down.
Now, maybe there is a more sophisticated L2 than the one I get with TD America or maybe a computer program is set automatically to put shares out there at certain price level.

But I guess when you have no real buyers or sellers and there is a big price difference between Bid/Ask...there is room to play around.

Man, I wish STWS would tell us something because stocks are going up,
STWS is about the only stock I have still in the Red (one other) and it would be nice to move on.

Thank god TRTC is making my year.
