Hi Stefan, Just lurking, but familiar with Internet Trader. My guess is that you're not paying for their real time data feed from NAQ and are therefore gettting 15 minute delayed on NASDAQ stocks. The way Internet Trader time stamps their trades is a bit confusing. A stamp of 15:59 is really a trade at 15:44 but Internet Trader passes it on to you at 15:59. A big problem with Internet Trader is that it cuts all time and sales data and tick data at 15:59 actual time, whether you're getting real time or not. If you're getting delayed data, this means you're losing the last 15 minutes of trades every day. Looks like GECM and SOCR both must have traded lower in that last 15 minutes. Kind of a pain, but you can't hardly complain for free. Steve
