Is it possible to construct a tick chart in a historic time frame? (for example if I wanted a chart from 2:00 last monday). I assume it's not possible but I thought I'd ask just in case... That would be a nice feature for future versions, kind of like the way you can enter a date in the T&S section. Thanks A.C.

>"2- Do you intend to give us - and if so, when - access to pre/post data feeds into the full program and not just L2 and T&S?" I don't understand the question, actually. But probably not. Gibbons Thanks for the answer to #1 - concerning #2, Interesting - I have made repeated posts about this issue and even spoken to you personally about it and you don't know what I am talking about? OK - here is the problem - - Your feed to QC does not start until the market opens - therefore NONE of the pre market trades are showing up in any of the QC info except L2 and T&S. Other programs out there - Investor R/T as an example - start their feed of this info into their quote sheet PRE-MARKET and therefore show the gap, % of change, volume - all the goodies we use SINCE THE CLOSE OF THE DAY BEFORE. At a glance BEFORE THE OPEN, normally that 30 minutes before the market opens, you have showing at a glance in your quote sheet the gaps, volume and %'s you are looking for. Also, the hot list are active during this time period as well. One can, at a glance, know what their total quote sheet stocks are doing AND what is going on with the hot list as well - PRE-MARKET! The only way to find a gap with QC it to do it on an individual stock basis loading it into L2 and T&S - and then mentally figuring out the gap and % of change - - a very slow and poor means of getting info. Also, this changes as new trades are posted so it is a totally wasted way to try and find gaps and the true amount of the gaps. For a daytrader, this pre-market info it the most important they will have all day as the open is the most important period for them. WE NEED THIS INFO - extended trading hours are here and more will be coming. ALL IT TAKES IS FOR YOU TO START YOUR FEED AT, SAY, 9:00 INSTEAD OF 9:30 AND PICK UP ALL TRADES FROM THE CLOSE OF THE DAY BEFORE! WHY CAN WE NOT GET THIS DONE? jb
