Quote from cheznikos:
my question was precise:
"Does anybody get access to the imbalance and indicative price of Arca opening aution for NYSE stocks?"
the answer was simple, it was NO.
God i hate to waste my time like that.
I think the answer is yes, everyone gets access to the data. The part i was trying to clarify is that no one is going to put an arca auction order on a liquid nyse stock because they would get a worse fill. In the past, people have thrown huge orders on NYSE and AMEX stocks both in the morning and the close, and they have been raped on price. In fact, i would guess thats why this thread started, because people wanted to get in on the free money found (yet again) by Mr. Creativity, mnx.
