Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

DB4.

One of my least favourite Scotties.

I will give him a miss.

Actually, it's one of his better efforts - without the usual stream of foul language, suggesting that the theme from The Archers would make a better national anthem than God Save the Queen. :-)

If ya didna have your feet in ya wellies

sticky - do you not use L2 which has real live prices?

No not these days. Dont bother........overated imo.

bullshit .... L2 is absolutely and unequivocally live
if you're talking about s/b prices, i have no idea from where they are gleaned

GF,

Might help,

I use CMC for SBs and the prices seem current enough for me.

But the spreads on occasions seem a little too wide, but you can use the mid price.


But when buying and "selling" do it from charts.

If you know what you're doing, Cyners, you don't need Level 2 (or any other dom data for that matter). And, if you don't know what you're doing, you shouldn't be doing it anyway.

It was good for spotting shifty MMs at 100 paces when everything outside the 100 went through SEAQ, but the advent of SETSmm just gave the MMs a veil of secrecy to hide behind.

?????????????????????
how else do you get live prices, especially for individual shares?

You use something called experience.

LOL hils, good answer!

Cyners I meant Money am prices.

Yes Cynic you listen to Hils or she'l thrash your bottom.

Yuk.

Thrash thrash thrash thrash.

Anyway got my system back up and working after 7 days down. The data engineer said some kind of corruption had stopped it from spitting out the results.

Mind having said that Ive made a killing without it anyway.

Yes experience, Hils is right.

experience is no f'ing good if you are looking to buy or sell a specific share at best price

That's what orders are for cyners, get a grip.

It sounds like you need Level 3, Cyners. Why don't you ask Mikey nicely if he'll show you how it works?

He is, trouble is the grip is on a pint glass according to the footsie thread -):
