Probably you are getting CXLs somehow. My other data feed shows no such drop in the last half hour.

Atin, Just a thought, but it might help you solve the bad tick issue. On QCharts (at least for Nasdaq issues) you can use either the symbol NASDAQ:YHOO or ISLD:YHOO. One of course, is the Nasdaq print, and the other is the ISLD ECN print. You could possibly do an "average" of the two to give you your number. That would minimize the effect of a bad tick. Or you could use an average of the bid and ask, as opposed to the actual sale. That would insure that you had current data and not the late entries that many "bad ticks" are. By the way, I like the newest version. Many improvements. I may become a Piffer afterall. Matt
