Richard:
The only quotes I can provide you with are for the NQH1 and the ESH1. I
don't follow the other symbols. If your counts are really from 12:01 am,
then you are receiving way more quotes than I am. Since I start collecting
quotes on these two symbols at 15:30, Central Standard Time, I will have to
list the times and counts a little differently.
NQH1 Total Count at end of Day 15:14:57 46162
11:59:59
27908
12:00:03
27909
12:01:02
27961
Based on this I would say that my total count from 12:01:02 to the end of
the day was 18201, the difference between the count at the end of the day
and what it was at 12:01:02.
ESH1 Total Count at end of Day 15:15:00 39912
12:00:00
25492
12:01:00
25543
Based on this I would say that my total count from 12:01:00 to the end of
the day was 14369, the difference between the count at the end of the day
and what it was at 12:01:00.
I would appreciate your letting me know if your count was really from
12:01:00, or was it from 03:30:00 P.M.
Regards,
DAvid
