To All.
I guess I should know this but can someone explain to me exactly how to interpret Bid Size and Ask Size in a real time quote?
For instance, if the quote reads:
Bid Size
20
Ask Size
10

Thanks in advance.

Joe

Street Walker:

Thanks for your prompt post and pointers. I was using the free internet trader for about 6 months and now switched to real time data. I use Schwab webtrading. I switch back and forth between internet trader and the Schwab trade screen and execute the trades. Ofcourse, before I place an order for a buy or sell, I confirm with Schwab's quick quotes. It seems to be working. I am still a long way off before I get proficient at this.
Thanks again

Paul
