My question is: Is there a significance to be used observing the "bid/ask size changes"?

EX. today CYMI was trading at
--BID ASK bid/ask size Vol

15 1/8 15 3/16 4500x1000 147900

15 15 1/8 10700x1000 298300

15 15 1/16 5700x50,000 307100

15 1/16 15 1/8 1000x1000 329500

times were at approx:7:23, 8:23,8:43,8:59

Can someone please explain what the sizes mean? Thanks. and are they predictive of price changes?

Ameritrade usually confims trades within a minute unless one trades during rush hour.

The Ultimate Trader by A.B. Wateley abwatley.com has PC Quote Level 2 and 3 second fills. I have heard nothing but good things about them. Filling out the papers this weekend. <g>

I currently use DLJ direct as my broker & have no complaints Always fast execution etc. However, I am considering daytrading and I am looking for an all inclusive sight ie,Broker, quote service, trading software, & newsource. What are the differences between Castleonline and AbWatley. The pro's and con' s
to each? Have checked out both sights but would like to hear opinions from people who currently trade w/ them. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill
