PROBLEM with Bid/Offer prices on the exchanges???????     

apple - 07 Apr 2004 12:33

Is there a problem with Bid/Offer prices on the exchanges?

Every buy I have made today has been below the mid price so when they are displayed on stockwatch they display as sells.

Also they display a slightly different price to the price that I paid.

I know that they were my trades because of the quantities were not round numbers & the time is correct.

So if you are filling up your ISAs today watch out, the prices may not be reliable.

Excuse me waiter, there is a problem here.
Your forgot to charge me for the wine and you have given me too much change.

Big problem.
Wish mine were like that!

That does not account for the difference in price between what I paid & the price displayed for my transactions on various websites.

All I am saying is that there may be a problem & people should be careful.

Perhaps the system that records the trades can't go to as many decimal places as your broker, and that why they are rounded up/down! Or perhaps your broker are not recording them correctly - becuase he is matching them to another clients trade (which is the one you see), and making a little extra in addition to his commission.
