Celeryroot, The site at: quote.com is very good for individual trades (the time and amount of each trade is displayed, but only for the past 12 activities (buy/sell or changes in bid or ask amount or size), so once it has scrolled by it is gone. However, there is an intraday chart which can be set for 1 minute, so you can get a graphic representation of trades and when volume is relatively light you can pick up individual trades. The box for the composite of trades (click on the box with the individual trades) is actually a combination of 15 min delayed and real time (and you can tell which is which by comparing to the individual trades which are 15 min delayed). Thus, if the composite matches (price and size), then its a 15 min delayed number. If not, then its a more recent number (and if you actually see it change and its not reflected in the delayed numbers, then its real time). For LGND right after the open, the 15 min delayed bid was still 13 1/2, but shortly after the open it fell from 13 5/8 to 13 3/8 so the displayed change was real time). The site also shows pre and post open and closing times, so it was easy to see LGND's bid raised to 13 5/8 at about the time I posted, before the open (it was stll 13 1/2 on the delayed window). Although all initial trades were at the full ask price of 13 3/4, volume was light and the bid/ask fell to 13 3/8 X 13 1/2 shortly after the open. All of the above is for the symbol LGND (which is also included in this thread's title). P.S. Although all of the above has now scrolled by, if you go to: fast.quote.com and look at 1 minute charts, you can still see the opening action. LGND opened with trades at 13 3/4 (which were the lined up buyers). That was floowed by a few small trades at 13 5/8 (which I think was stll the bid price). That was followed by a few trades at 13 3/8 (which were sells at the lowered bid price). After that, the trades were in the 13 3/8 to 13 1/2, the lowered bid and ask prices. All of the above was on very light volume, so you can see the individual prices (horizontal lines) because all of the trades within the minute increment were at the same price.
