I just saw it for the first time today, as well. I use MB Trading.

I haven't tested to ensure that it also displays subscriber only orders, although I'm virtually certain that these orders are now shown on Level II Hmm? I thought "subscriber only" means not shown on Level II, or more precisely, visible only to Island subscribers and not to other parties. Or were you using "Level II" as shorthand for "RT3's Level II display window, which now includes ISLD subscriber-only orders in addition to NASDAQ Level II data?"

Yes, as someone else confirmed it appeared today on the MBT feed as well. Now, the thing to compare is the SPEED of the new ISLD book info on there, as compared to the lightning-fast ISLD book available in real-time-updating mode at www.island.com (with a Java browser). I have found the ISLD book to be a great resource, but it needs to be FAST - you hardly have time to hit the order-entry hotkey, many times when the bid or offer you're looking for appears; so if it's lagging the T&S by one or two seconds, you're not going to benefit much from it. I'm sure everyone will sort that out very quickly. Would be nice if we could get those Level III, $200 live Instinet-authorized quotes on there, too. [JUST KIDDING, guys!] -Steve
