Here's a list of the components, slap them into a spreadsheet' then use =winros|prev!'symbol=n'

+188.75
Note: Don't rely on the previous if using eSignal, it doesnt update till the market actually opens, so you need to input the previous manually. Today, prior to the open the previous was the close on Friday. Once the market opens you'll see yesterday's close.

I found out the hard way.

Are you are trying to get yesterday's closing price into a spreadsheet via eSignal? If so, try using =winros|last!GE (using General Electric as an example). It pulls in whatever the last print was for the stock.

Yeah, thanks for the head's up... I finally figured out why the mustard was continually off my hotdog. I was applying the fair value to the previous previous close!
 
This is why traditional tape reading is just not what it used to be. You were probably watching bots trade with bots, except a lot of the bots could have been routing to and sitting on one of over half a dozen dark books. There could have been a million shares to sell there and you would never have seen it. And everything is parceled out into tiny lots now because no one wants to show their hand.

Tough game using the old rules.

I have a general question for Mr. Bright.

I am watching the tape on JNS and I see that the bid is 35.01 and the ask is 35.02 and I am watching the ask get hit over and over again. All or most in the 100 - 400 share lots.

I must have seen 100,000+ shares trade this way in the course of about 5-10 mins.

Whats going on and who are the players that would keep a stock at a price and who would keep banging at it?

Seems to me the seller could have raised the price (the price did break through and moved up but the pattern really wasnt broke, huge buying with the stock not moving much more - VERY much already for the day/week)

Lastly how should this effect the price in the next few hours/days?


Thanks in advance for the lesson on market forces.
