Luanne On the net, chat rooms, message boards etc etc. Uppercase is used to SHOUT and get your point across, a kind of netiquette I suppose. If your posts are all in uppercase it just looks like you're shouting. Good luck with MB and good trading. Bill

>>Why can you see arca?<< MB integrates the ARCA book into their level II display. This is one of the nice optional features MB has. Not all trading firms have this in their Level II. It shows you every ARCA order as an individual quote. If they did have the Island book it would be the same as the ARCA book, except all Island orders at each price level would be consolidated into one quote and the aggregate size would be displayed. You can view the Island book at this URL: elitetrader.com Some people swear by it, but I don't use it. The one time I tried it was in a fast market and it didn't keep up. wily
