Jamie .. You were looking at the wrong day. You should have been looking at 11/30 instead of 12/1 .. Quote has a low of the bar in question of 1388.25. Your order in question 11:57 bar had a high of 1402 and a low of 1401.25. Market entry for a buy would be 1401.5

>>>The point is that we are using Quote.com data in this contest.<<< correct They do not have t&s for the evening session (at least not at the freebie site), so what are we going to do - use a random number generator? We go to the original source of the data - where the contracts are traded. Quote.com is a secondary source we use for convenience during the day. The data at The Chicago Mercantile Exchange - cme.com is expressed in Central Standard Time (or central daylight or whatever - they are an hour behind). For the first trade at 1404.25 at 10:36 EST look to 9:36 CST. The text data at: cme.com is only there for one day. There is another place at the site with historic zip files. Vitas

Jamie, This is data from the CME time and sales site that shows trades above 1404.00 on the emini: 99-12 12/01/99 10:10:07 0140425 99-12 12/01/99 10:10:07 0140425 99-12 12/01/99 10:10:09 0140425 99-12 12/01/99 10:10:11 0140425 99-12 12/01/99 10:10:12 0140425 My personal time and sales data via satellite confirms the same thing. CME's time and sales is correct. (If you can't rely on their data... Whose can ya? <g>) Part of the problem in reconciling the two is that the cme time and sales is displayed in central time, and the quote.com in eastern time. Regards, David

Don't know where you got those numbers from .. but when I look at quote I show the same time and sales for the 1404 and 1404.25. The one minuet time bars also show highs for the 11:09 and 11:10 bars being 1404.25 who knows .. OK .. now going to sleep for a couple of hours so that I can write a server program .. seeya
