Price and Size Distribution Bars Help

DTN.IQ NASDAQ Level II has two visual indicators:

  • Price Distribution Bar shows at a glance the relative number of Market Makers at each price level.
    The Price Distribution Bar is displayed above the Market Maker window.
  • Size Distribution Bar shows at a glance the number of shares offered at different prices. The entire bar length represents the total market size from all Market Makers for a particular security. Each color section within the bar indicates the relative number of shares offered at each price; the more shares offered, the longer the color range.
    The Size Distribution Bar is displayed below the Market Maker window.
