Steve, using the ISLD: prefix, you can watch the trades until 8:00 pm and see the ISLD T&S. ISLD is not as good, or complete as INCA, but for event-driven Nasdaq stocks it does the job. is

After-hours trade reports (Form T in the time & sales) come from Instinet and other ECNs like Island. They stop in the normal NASDAQ symbols at 5:15 EST and we are trying to determine why. Other exchanges that have trading after that time continue to update (ISLD, CME, etc.), so this implies that it is our feed provider or the exchange that cuts off the flow of information. Investigating... In the meanwhile, a good proxy that has lots of volume before and after the regular hours is the Island Book. If you are watching NASDAQ:AMZN, you can change your symbol to ISLD:AMZN and see time & sales, charts and Level II for these orders and trades. These continue on into the later trading hours. We are very close to getting the option chains automated so that the symbols are up to date and new series are properly displayed in the option chain. We appreciate your patience.
