Price level: - At the point when a few requests contain a similar value, they are alluded as a value level, implying that if an offer comes at that value level, all the sell arranges on that value level might satisfy that.

Best price:-The highest price of the ask and the lowest price of the bid is known as the best ask price and best bid price.
