>When the day session closes, the official "last" print is the last trade of the day session. All of my quote vendors freeze that number.

Agree - it is not the "last" that I am really interested in - as you point out, I have that eleswhere - but the most important are "percent of change and volume".

These give me my pre-market gaps.

An example if I may -

At 9:06 you want to know the pre-market gap on AMZN. With QC the only way is to go to L2 and T&S - some mental calks and you have it. Want YHOO, EBAY, INTC, etc. and you must do the same for them. Meanwhile, trades are taking place in AMZN so to keep up you must go back to it later - and each in turn.

My point is that this way of doing things means you can cover only a limited number of stocks AND the data you get is only correct AT THAT TIME YOU ARE ON THAT STOCK.

As you are aware, this data can change very fast just before the open - the gap can go away or even reverse during this time period.

With Pre-market in the quote page, you have the same display of the gaps for ALL OF YOUR STOCKS ON A REALTIME BASIS, not just one at a time. And right up to the open.

You are correct on the "last" - it does not change as this is the number the gap is built on.

Just trying to find a way to better use data and get an edge as my brain is too slow to handle doing all this on an individual stock basis. But it is such a useful tool I just don't understand why it would not be provided or why everyone would not request it.

Gibbons has just said that it CAN BE DONE - which I knew - now, about all of us ASKIN' HIM TO DO IT! :)
