SCMR opened at $1000? Is this a misprint? Apparently there actually were some trades at these prices, so rather a mistake than a misprint. I was dumb fool enough to attempt to trade SCMR today and lost a substantial amount on it. My own stupidity which I paid for. Yet another expensive lesson. Adding to the misery was the fact that my data feed was completely miserable. It would stop and start and the stock could have moved 4-5 points in the meantime. I had halts of up to 10 seconds. Of course this all started after I entered the position. I'm not saying the cause was quote.com. It could be my computer, my modem, my isp, the net itself, qcharts, nasdaq... Whatever it is I want to try to fix it. Anyone else see (or not see) any similar issues? There were many out of order prints (from Nasdaq I'm sure). I found that a tick chart did the best to make things viewable, as all the out of order prints made the bar charts were basically useless. What would have made things viewable? To be able to plot the bid or ask! PLEASE make it so we can plot bid/ask Gibbons, OK? You dont have to keep the history of it. Eric
