[12:10] {Threei}  hmmm
[12:10] {Threei}  right pattern, wrong time
[12:11] {ese} ya.....
[12:11] {ese} 1/2 only so far.......
[12:21] {i2r} any idea why on laser i see different bid and ask than on another platform, like TD?
[12:21] {Threei}  any comparison of accuracy between the two will make you seriously wonder about TD...
[12:21] {i2r} mind you i'm using the demo account, but since it's realtime, I figure it should be as real as it gets
[12:22] {Threei}  let's compare?
[12:22] {i2r} well, i'm doubting laser
[12:22] {Threei}  name stock and bid/offer
[12:22] {i2r} PCLN
[12:22] {Threei}  302.8
[12:22] {i2r} laser 302.67, while TD 302.8
[12:22] {i2r} unless I'm looking in the wrong spot :)
[12:22] {Threei}  303.06
[12:23] {i2r} i don't see 302.8 anywhere on laser though
[12:23] {Threei}  302.80 INET bid
[12:23] {i2r} where would I see it?
[12:23] {Threei}  you don't have some of the feeds activated then
[12:23] {i2r} oh
[12:23] {i2r} 302.85
[12:23] {Threei}  .85 now yes
[12:23] {i2r} i'm just a dufus
[12:23] {i2r} nevermind
[12:23] {Threei}  if you say so :)
[12:24] {Threei}  never argue with people who want to beat themselves up - they may beat you up too while at it
[12:24] {i2r} lol
[12:24] {i2r} just seemed odd, because what seems to be the bid amount was different from TD
[12:24] {i2r} I do realize that it changes very fast
[12:25] {i2r} but had to be sure
[12:25] {Threei}  just out of curiosity... where did you try to look for it? :)
[12:25] {i2r} i looked at the numbers  above l2 quotes
[12:25] {Threei}  ahhh
[12:26] {i2r} and it's right above it as I understand
[12:26] {i2r} and then it had other details, like last, prev close etc
[12:26] {Threei}  yes
[12:27] {i2r} it just doesn't say what it is so I had to be sure i'm looking in the right area and those numbers actually didn't match TD for awhile or would only match at times
[12:27] {i2r} so I was not sure
[12:27] {i2r} all good now
[12:27] {i2r} all i need is the trading account now and hope I won't have to go back to TD and issues get resolved with Bear
[12:37] {Threei}  i2r, look dcc
[13:04] {Threei}  oh boy
[13:04] {nemo} what?
[13:04] {Threei}  look at this and tell me, do these guys learn anything, ever?
