the L2 was running as much as a full point behind what was showing on the T&S as if fell from the open. Of course you cant trust the chart either (even later) but it sounds like you had pretty good evidence. I have seen times in very high velocity stocks where trades will start filtering in that appear out of sequence (say trading 120x120 1/4 and suddenly you get some prints @121). Like clockwork the stock moves to that level in about 5-6 seconds and I've never managed to hit a trade in between time. Sure feels to me that in these circumstances the L2 is just a little delayed behind "the market". This is not just at the beginning of the day, but any time. Anyone else see this happen? Eric
