>Really, I'm trying to help, but I'm starting to feel like you are not really wanting to find a solution. Am I misreading you? - Matt Yes, you are. Several people have posted workarounds to the problem that only give the ISLD info when all I am asking is for the data that comes in to be routed to the quote page. As Gibbons has stated, it CAN BE DONE - others are doing it on a daily basis SO WHY CAN IT NOT BE DONE IN QC? Right now the the market is closed but all night there will be trades in AMZN and most other stocks. Why can I not have those trades posted in the quote page? Why must I go - on an individual basis - to L2 and T&S to get this data? Why can't I have it on ALL my quote page stocks, displayed in an "at a glance" manner instead of what must be done now to get the data? What I am talking about is so easy and so very useful - having all your quote page stocks showing red or green and the amount of change from the close AS IT IS HAPPENING. I follow along in on my quote page instead of franticly trying to keep up by changing back and forth, back and forth in L2 and T&S as must be done now. Just before the open I can load the stocks I am interested in and be ready to trade - not as must be done now and hope that what I last saw was close. Question, if you are following 100 stocks, AMZN being one of them, wouldn't it be nice to know that after you had used QC to check and it was gaping up 2pts on high volume that while you are off checking YHOO just before the open that AMZN changed and is now down 1 and all the other stocks you follow have also changed and the only way you can find that out is go back, one by one, and check them again? Do you not understand the usefullness of this showing in your quote sheet? Maybe it is just who I have talked with but every single serious daytrader I have talked with has said the same thing - the pre-market data is the most important info you will have all day. Many of them are trading pre-market - they need and use this data. Maybe I'm missing something here and I am not trying to start a war but this seems so very simple to me - the data is there, it CAN be done - - then why not do it? jb
