I have PC Quote as well, straight up. (In other words, just PC Quote, not PC Quote filtered though Interquote.) I don't think they provide volume on the mini either, so it is they and not Interquote that is filtering out the volume (if, indeed, I am actually getting volume which I think I am). This is going to take a minute because PC Quote isn't up. Don't go away.... ============== No, only trades. Even that is shaky. They do not show as many ticks around the 7:30 time frame as what I recall seeing on QCharts. So that's one piece of the puzzle. Then I just tried to log onto the "free" version of QCharts on another machine to see if I could get volume or just ticks using the free mini quotes but their server is too busy. Or at least that's the message I received, so I cannot crosscheck that way. I pay for CME Quotes. QCharts has not mentioned it to me as yet, but next month that cost drops to 10 bucks extra instead of the 55 bucks it is now. I don't even know if QCharts knows that. For ten bucks it might be worth your while. Of course, Interquote shall drop as well. (See below) So perhaps it's because I pay for the feed. That's the only thing that makes sense. Now I don't know why Hal gets it, but I think that is why you and the others do not. ======================================================== CME To Lower Cost Of Market Quotes To Retail Investors October 21, 1999—The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) will begin offering real-time quotations on its market data to individual investors at dramatically lower rates. Under the program, a new class of “non-professional investors” will be able to subscribe to all CME price and volume data in each of the four product areas for a monthly fee of $10. The new program, recently approved by the CME Board of Directors, will become effective January 3, 2000. cme.com
