Kind of off the subject, but could someone please explain to me what
the "bidsize" and "asksize" on real time quotes indicates? Is the
bidsize the amount of orders in the system to buy or sell at that
price level? Can it sometimes give an indication as to which direction
the stock price will take in the very short term? The bid and ask (size) can
fluctuate so drastically in a short period of time I have a hard time
determining what it actually means.

Thanks in advance for any response.

C.C.
