Level 1 is when an order is bigger than 100,000 Euros and Level 2 is when an order is bigger than 200,000 Euros.The alarm description also includes the position of the order in the order book. eg. "Big Order - SELL (LEVEL 4) 15.000 at 28,20 = 423.000 Euros". This means that an order of value 423.000 Euros was placed for the specified share with price 28,20 Euros which corresponds to Sell Level 4 in the Order Book of the share at the time of entry.
- Volume Change from last 5 sessions average. The user can specify two levels. eg. Level 1 is when the intraday volume is 3 times the last 5 sessions average and Level 2 when it is 5 times.

In the Alarms window, Level 1 alarms appear with a white background. Level 2 alarms appear with a coloured background.
OTC Transactions and 52 week High / Low all appear as Level 2 alarms.
New Intraday High / Low all appear as Level 1.
Orders window
The "Level Column - L" shows the Order Book level at which the order was placed. eg. a Level 1 Buy order means that the order was placed at the same price as the best buy order at the moment. Level 2 would mean that it was placed at the second best price.
Level 0 means that a buy order was placed at the best sell price or higher, or a sell order was placed at the best buy price or lower. A Level 0 order is either fully or partly matched.
For example a 100,000 shares buy order could result in 20 different smaller transactions (shown individually in the Transactions window) plus a remainder of 60,000 at the best buy price. In the Orders Window this is going to appear as a single 100,000 shares buy order placed at Level 0.
Level 0 orders are shown with a coloured backgound. Level 1-5 orders are shown with a white background.
