<<Anyone else spot that spike up to 109 9/16????>> Yes I saw it, but obviously it was not a valid price. It was subsequently filtered out. The following is from Quote.com (http://www.qcharts.com/qcharts/help/charts.html) "Filtered trades Sometimes exchanges send out incorrect prices. Usually they will then send out correction messages. We process exchange correction messages and automatically update the chart to reflect these changes. Sometimes, however, the exchange will not send out a correction message. In these cases, our software automatically scans all trades (including bid and ask prices) and makes a determination that a particular price is "bad". Rather than removing this "bad" price entirely from the screen, we draw it in a faint yellow color on our bar charts. Many times this "bad" price is simply a late trade that has not been marked as "late" by the exchange." 4-Bob
