Eric,

I use 51K. Think it has more to do with you being on that warm island a zillion miles from the ISLD server.

Some people learn.

The nasdaq tape is simply behind at least 3 sec (up to 10). Hence trading on the nasdaq tape (also showing the BBID/BASK) is pure gamble hence the bid can be outdated when you see it.

ISLD is the a bit nearer to the truth because its average delay is '45 sec (ping it to check).
