HA! You know, I suspect that should I find anything interesting in the data I'll be looking at, it most likely will be relevant precisely in the slightly less active stock - simply because it's easier for mms to affect it (and hence, more important for me to track what they do); I feel that on a huge liquid issue, they have less impact - but maybe I'm naive. OTOH, one of my favorite trading stocks is MSFT. I would still like to run the same data analysis on it, just to see what's up. The limitation you describe makes my search for a solution more difficult; I guess what I would need is some way to continuously be able to capture the data as it flies through, and download it or provide me a continuous printout directly on my printer (boy, I'll go through ink at an amazing rate, not to mention the paper... I better run out and hug a tree right now and apologize with profuse tears:) Thanks for the heads up, Dan. Morgan

>>T&S on RT3 only keeps approximately 10,000 lines<< That's a good point. I didn't realize that. I thought it was a fixed number of DAYS. Just now I went back to look at the opening of TGLO this morning and T/S only goes back to 11:22am. Reason I wanted to see it was there was a whole SLEW of prints for a few minutes after the open at around $64. That is what the MM's were bidding it up to right before it opened. Thing is, I don't think they were bidding higher than $60 once the clock struck 9:30. That's what I wanted to check: to see if there was outright thievery going on. Didn't really matter to me since I wasn't playing the stock, just curious. wily
