Level Scope › Volume and spread
Effort without result
High volume with little movement to show for it. Volume is the effort, range is the result, and the signal is a lot of the first with little of the second.
What it looks like on a chart
A mark under the bar. No level.

What we measured
Nothing of our own attached.
What it does not claim
Four incompatible quantifications exist, and one of them — AGPro's — folds spread into effort while the other three treat spread as the result. That is a definitional inversion, not a parameter setting. We use the majority reading.
Where the definition comes from
majority reading: volume=effort, range=result
