OK, you're set up for a week....
* LOG OUT OF IHUB/CLEAN COOKIES OUT
* Log back in to iHub, click Streamer and/or Level 2 at the top of the site.
* Take a look at tools to play with: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/advfn_tools.aspx
dragon -
Via the Streamer, you can have a large number of stocks showing level 1.
Via Level 2, you can have as many Level 2 windows open as your computer can handle...
If you'd like a free trial, I can enable your iHub account for it - just let me know.
Good suggestions: #msg-32796663
Zero to do with it. ADVFN created it a while back; they acquired iHub/SI in 2006. They're looking to expand into the US (they're huge in Europe). So, while our cream of the crop nerds here at IH/SI don't have any hand in the coding of the Streamer/Level2 stuff, the nerds that do in London, encourage feedback via me to tell 'em what's broke and what features we'd like to see.....a fine example of that was the last two days when iHub folks didn't like how the market makers on otcbb/pinks were being handled...complained/pointed out inaccuracies...and it was fixed within 24 hours.
I've had far too much Grappa with the London blokes this evening. I'm going to bed; back in the US tomorrow night.
Allan, based on the email confirmations I've seen, it's the day you purchase it is when it starts - just like the iHub subs.
lol. that was disturbing.
Susie - the SmallCapPro (their highest level currently) includes streaming level 1 for NYSE, amex, NASDAQ, OTCBB, Pinks and Greys....
The only level 2 available (for now) is Pinks & OTCBB.
Once I can show them some demand (like you, trix, others) I'll ask them for the Level 2 NAZ/NYSE feeds....
Please do not spam, either.
You're set (9 days)...just follow info here:

Ritster:
hey matt i was thinking about subscribing to Ihub's level II. i currently use alphatrade. could you post a screen view maybe. i would like to see what it looks like before i switch. also does it show how many MMs are on ask and bid and does it show realtime trades?
I'll set your account up with a free trial for a week if you'd like.
Excellent!
Please report any issues here. They're being quite good about fixing problems. There's also an ADVFN support guy now following this board and reading his messages.
BTW, I *hate* JAVA. I'm working on a plan (no promises yet!) to have everything re-written in FLASH and add in some fancy bits that I've dreamed up....we'll see.
Very groovy. All the stocks I was asked to watch/fix are now perfectly matching/showing all market makers as compared to my stockwatch feed.
Please point out any stocks that are not matching up with Alphatrade/others so I can have them looked into by the team.
It's looking fixed so far. Missing one MM on ETNL; just VERT on the ask for MTRE; FANC on TSHL...
much better! let's see if it's all jamming by the open.
this is all being compared to Stockwatch datafeed (which generally matches Alphatrade/etc)
few things, like the streamer, would b nice if in the future
you could double click on headings to rearrange them.
for instance, I like using % column and keep em sorted most up on top.
you have seen this on other streamers i am sure...just a fwiw...
This might be fixed by the open....we'll see shortly. #msg-32751494
Awesome! Glad to hear.
As you're using it, please do make any suggestions. I can't guarantee they'll happen quickly, but they are open to new ideas.
We need to make sure that gets printed out, framed, and hung on the office wall.
DrF - see if this does the trick (logging fully out and then back in)

I'll restore her account to jailed status.......she needs to stay off the political boards, imo. I'm not dealing with her ranting in my inbox like that on the a daily basis about political stuff. Or all the complaints I got about her and her PMs, etc.
Requests?
While I've got their ear, especially the feed maestros......are there any special requests on the level 2 or streamer?
One thing on my list is a */flag for news alerts. When news cocmes out and your'e looking at LII or Streamer, it sticks a flag in there you can click to see the news. Their news is in realtime, there's just nothing inserting it into the L2/Streamer...
I also asked to see if we could display which market maker actually took the order...but that isn't in the feed; could guess, but then only when one market maker was on the bid/offer would it be accurate...
Update on Market Makers Showing up on Level II:
OK, regardless of whatever display I/we "think" is correct, it's clear everybody wants to see the maximum number of market maker quotes, regardless of whether they've updated their order today.
Currently, we're not showing any market maker who hasn't updated their order/logged in/inserted a new order TODAY into Level II.
So, at some point next week, they plan to show all market maker quotes, even if one wasn't entered today -- as long as they're not closed.
This is only affecting very thinly traded stocks.
Sue,
She had some issues on the political boards and then asked me to terminate her account.

Yeah - you just need to set Firefox to allow popups from ih.advfn.com (I don't think there are any other popups coming from there, so should be OK)
Thanks for posting all this, I'm going to get an FAQ done at some point and all this helps.
Mods - please allow for folks to post about the preferred shares of WAMU....WAMKQ and the other one or two.
The point is for all discussion of Wamu to happen here, so that includes the preferred shares.
>>Is there a time frame for offering NYSE/NASDAQ Level 2? Some of us don't play the pinks any more.
Currently, no - but if I can show some expressions of interest in it, I'll ask them to turn it on.
Just let me know when you'd like it activated - it's good for 1 week.
>>if one puts a ticker in the QUOTE box that is at the top of each page, is the quote that is displayed now real time?
Yes - if you're a subscriber to the ADVFN data OR on the free trial, all the quotes (quote page, board quote, etc) are real-time. It's nifty.
OK - no problem, just send me a note when you want it turned on.
Yep. This is obviously a time thing. I'll talk with 'em and figure out if they're deciding active/closed based on time of last update or active/closed based on an active/closed field.
lol - ignore my PM reply then
I suspect that 5k or nothing would go thru at 0007, though.....
Let me know if 0007 gets hit.
Any other examples?
I'm not saying you're wrong - these highly illiquid ones are toughies! I'll get the system changed, though, if this 'way' is inaccurate.
Bee,
I'm getting the feed guy to confirm but I think THAT is actually a feature that I requested a while back.
Using my other two feeds, the MMs you reported appear to have not actually 'opened/activated' their quotes for the day (look at the order entry times).
On th eADVFN feed, when they were setting up BB and Pinks, I asked that they ignore any MM quotes that weren't active that day. Which, IMO, is a far more accurate quote - because in my trading experience, inactive quotes can't be hit and the market can actually move away from the quote when it's inactive.....so why show it?
Anyways, hopefully that's clear. I've asked him to confirm it in the feed, but I believe this is actually going to be a feature.
>>Is 5 the maximum number of tabs for the L2's or can more be added?
I've confirmed this myself and asked the nerds - there is no limit to the number of Level 2 windows you can have open - only limit is your computer.
Each "window" can have 5 tabs of level 2 tickers. You can open as many windows as you'd like.
RE: ADVFN Level 2 Free Trial
#msg-32723708
Sorry this discussion is invading this thread - trying to move as much as possible to the ADVFN board.
Excellent! It's working for someone! I was getting depressed...lol...handing out free trials and getting zero feedback..
please keep me updated on problems/etc here:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=8689
Susie - they only have level 2 for OTCBB and Pink sheets - not for NYSE, NAZ, AMEX.
Level 1 for NYSE, AMEX, NAZ, OTCBB, PINK, GREY
LEVEL 2 for PINK, OTCBB
I expect to get them to add the level 2 for big caps after there's a strong base of OTCBB/Pink traders.
What tickers were you trying?
