Well I am befuddled. I thought all the data in the upper right corner of quote.com was real time. I guess I will have to watch it closer and see if you are correct that it is delayed a few minutes. Like I said though, I am mainly looking for the pattern on the chart as it runs. If it is down trending and the TICK suddenly breaks up over the top downward trendline, that usually signals me to get the call order ready. Same if it is trending upward and the bottom upward trendline gets violated, I sell the calls and get a put order ready. If it is in fact delayed data, it hasn't affected me yet but that may be luck so then I will have to re evaluate its true worth. Maybe it is one of those throwing darts type things, it seems to work but it is one of those vast useless utilities that makes me feel good. <ggg> Lee
