OK, believe what you will...

You ask a question and can't accept that there is no "line" regarding orders and support that with a reference to L2, which simply indicates the advertised quantity of shares available and the price of those shares.

Do you have any concept of an electronic communications network and how is operates? There is no central location where orders are lined up and matched. It is a diverse system which is controlled by no one entity but by the members of the ECN.

It would behoove anyone attempting to trade this market to know how the system operates. It will help them to be able to discern some of the falsehoods perpetuated by those who would take their money...

The signature says it all...
