OOOOT: First I wondered about this not being better. But as I have done some short term trades with stocks that carry 1/2 to full point spreads, splitting the spread is crucial. And it makes it more cumbersome to guage where a stock is actively trading (hot price) with only seeing the bid. On top of that, say the bid/ask moves in several positions, and one or two haven't traded yet, it means swapping into the quotes pages, for each stock. Now I have somewhere between 2-3 windows instead of one for the same info. It means where I used the page as an active guage for all positions, I now know it is more of an afterhours view of my positions. I concur with your love for datek in regard to many aspects where they have others beat hands down. And in our last tech downturn I was especially appreciative of their 30% margin ratio! I am not looking to jump ship by any means. I started with etrade and will never go back. But I am curious if bid price is used for last trade in portfolio views commonly with other online brokers. thanks for the thread address as well.
