Your Comprehensive Guide to Canceling Webull Level 2 Market Data
So, you've been using Webull for your trading journey, and perhaps you subscribed to Level 2 Advanced Market Data to get that deeper insight into order books. It's a fantastic tool for active traders, providing detailed bid and ask prices and volumes, offering a clearer picture of market supply and demand. However, circumstances change, strategies evolve, or maybe you simply don't need that advanced data anymore. Whatever your reason, canceling your Level 2 subscription on Webull is a straightforward process, and we're here to walk you through it step-by-step!
Are you ready to regain control of your subscriptions and potentially save some money? Let's dive in!
Step 1: Understand What Webull Level 2 Market Data Is
Before we cancel, it's good to have a clear understanding of what you're opting out of.
What is Level 2 Advanced US Market Data?
Level 2 Advanced US Market Data, powered by Nasdaq TotalView, is a premium data feed that gives you a much more granular view of the market than standard Level 1 data (which only shows the best bid and ask). It displays the best 50 levels of bids and asks for all NASDAQ, NYSE, and regional-listed stocks on the NASDAQ Market Center.
Why is it useful?
For active traders and day traders, Level 2 data is invaluable. It allows you to:
See market depth: Understand the true supply and demand at various price points.
Identify potential support and resistance levels: By observing large blocks of bids or asks.
Spot institutional activity: Large orders can indicate where big players are entering or exiting positions.
Improve entry and exit points: With more information, you can make more precise trading decisions.
However, if you're a long-term investor or a more casual trader, the depth and speed of Level 2 data might be overkill and simply an unnecessary expense.
Step 2: Accessing Your Subscription Management on Webull
Webull provides multiple ways to manage your subscriptions, primarily through their mobile app, but also via Google Play or Apple App Store depending on how you initially subscribed.
Option A: Via the Webull Mobile App (Recommended for Direct Subscriptions)
This is the most common and direct method if you subscribed within the Webull app itself.
Open the Webull App: Launch the Webull application on your smartphone or tablet.
Navigate to the Menu: Look for the Webull logo (often a circular icon with the Webull bullhead) or the "Menu" icon (usually three horizontal lines or dots) at the bottom center of the screen. Tap on it.
Find "Webull Premium" or "My Subscriptions": Once in the menu, scroll down and look for an option like "Webull Premium" or "My Subscriptions" or "Market Data Subscription." The exact wording might vary slightly based on app updates, but it will be related to managing your paid services.
Tap on "Subscription Management": Within the "Webull Premium" or "My Subscriptions" section, you should see an option for "Subscription Management." Tap this to view your active subscriptions.
Locate Level 2 Data: In your list of subscriptions, find the entry for "Level 2 Advanced US Market Data" or similar.
Initiate Cancellation: Tap on the Level 2 subscription. You should then see an option to "Cancel" or "Unsubscribe." Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation.
Important Note: The cancellation will typically take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You will still have access to Level 2 data until that date. You won't be automatically billed after your current subscription expires.
Option B: Via Google Play Store (for Android Users)
If you initially subscribed to Level 2 data through the Google Play Store on your Android device, you'll need to cancel it there.
Open the Google Play Store: Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android phone.
Access Your Account: Tap on your profile icon (usually in the top right corner).
Go to "Payments & Subscriptions": From the menu that appears, select "Payments and subscriptions."
Tap "Subscriptions": On the next screen, choose "Subscriptions."
Find Webull: Locate "Webull" in your list of subscriptions.
Cancel the Subscription: Tap on the Webull subscription, then select the "Cancel Subscription" option and confirm.
Option C: Via Apple App Store / iPhone Settings (for iOS Users)
For iPhone users who subscribed via the App Store, the cancellation process is handled through your device's settings.
Go to iPhone "Settings": Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
Tap Your Apple ID: Tap on your name/Apple ID at the very top of the Settings screen.
Select "Subscriptions": From your Apple ID menu, choose "Subscriptions."
Find Webull: Scroll through your active subscriptions until you find "Webull."
Tap "Cancel Subscription": Tap on the Webull subscription, then tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your decision.
Option D: Via PayPal (If You Subscribed Through PayPal)
While less common for market data, if you ever linked PayPal for your Webull subscriptions, you can cancel there too.
Log in to your PayPal account.
Go to "Settings": Look for the gear icon or "Settings" in the upper right corner.
Click "Payments": Select "Payments" from the settings menu.
Choose "Automatic payments": Click on "Automatic payments" or "Manage your automatic payments."
Find the Webull subscription: Locate the specific Webull subscription you wish to cancel.
Click "Cancel": Select the item and click "Cancel" to stop future payments.
Step 3: Confirmation and What Happens Next
After you've successfully initiated the cancellation, you'll receive a confirmation.
Confirmation Message
Webull (or your app store) will typically provide a confirmation message indicating that your subscription has been canceled. They will also inform you of the date until which your Level 2 data access remains active.
Continued Access
You will continue to have access to Level 2 Advanced US Market Data until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you paid for a month of data on July 1st and cancel on July 15th, you'll still have access until July 31st.
No Further Charges
Once your current billing cycle ends, your subscription will not renew, and you will not be charged for Level 2 data again. Your Webull account will revert to displaying standard Level 1 market data.
Step 4: Re-evaluating Your Trading Needs (Optional)
Canceling a subscription is a good time to reflect on your trading strategy and needs.
Do You Still Need Advanced Data?
Consider if your trading style truly benefits from Level 2 data. If you primarily hold positions for days, weeks, or months, or if you focus on fundamental analysis, the constant flow of Level 2 information might be more distracting than helpful.
However, if you find yourself missing the depth of information for your short-term trading decisions, you can always resubscribe to Level 2 data on Webull at any time.

Webull offers a plethora of free tools and features that might still meet your needs, such as:
