"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues.

Author	Topic: Question about bid ask in tick data (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
Gremlin123 -Interested User- Posts: 6 Joined: Aug 18, 2010	Posted: Aug 18, 2010 06:30 PM Msg. 1 of 4 In a historical tick record, is the bid ask value reported the value after the trade or before? So, if a trade hits the bid, the bid reported should be the same price as the trade? What if the bid is taken out and the new bid is now lower? On a releated question, what does it mean if the trade price is lower than the quoted bid? Does this mean that a large order "walked the book" since only the top of book is protected?

Does this mean that a large order "walked the book" since only the top of book is protected? Some brokers only work with certain market makers and this then could occur, which there is no walking the book. Stan S What we do today, determines how people remember us forever.
