what is T&S? I believe she is referring to time and sales, or a trade by trade listing of activity. I don't seem to have access to that info with the tools I use.

've been concerned about market air pockets Yes, I've seen some terrible executions, especially in that first hour. what is T&S? Time and sales. I watch it go by and if I don't see a lot of stuff occurring outside the best B/A I go market primarily because the brokers I use have very fast execution and frequently my market orders execute inside the best B/A (which means they are being sent to an ECN). On the other hand, if you want to low ball a buy (hopefully you still want it when you get it -g-) or put a sell up above, limit orders are the way to go.
