Chip, <<this paragraph in jest, so please take it the correct way>> Maybe what you need to do is to start a spreadsheet, collect the data from all of the various sources you can lay your hands on and run the totals. If you wanted to push it out some more, then you could average all the data sources for a figure that should approximate something near reality. Then when it is ready to go negative or positive, wait two days to be sure that the smoothing has been accounted for and then hit it! :) ACK! You checked five sources!?!?! You are much more the data hound than I am. Does the NYSE site give historical figures? If so then we could download them and check against our numbers to see what kind of a difference we are talking about at any given time. That might give us some assurances that whatever data source we use is close enough..... Thanks for looking into this. -Scott

Chip...I just visited the addy you gave and it says the data is for Tuesday. Could it have been updated since you posted a few minutes ago?
