DTN_Steve_G -DTN IQFeed- Posts: 28 Joined: Oct 1, 2004	Posted: Oct 27, 2004 03:34 PM Msg. 3 of 6 andrzejs, I checked with our staff on this. Ready? When an ask only occurs, an "a" trade time type will be used. When a bid only occurs, or when both a bid and an ask occurs, a "b" trade time type will be used. You will not see any "a" trade time type for equities, since all equity quotes have both a bid and an ask on them. Only commodities will have "a" trade time types, when only an ask occurs. The two symbols (SUNW and SSRI), which you were watching, are equities. SOOO, you will see everything reported on a "b" trade time type. I hope that is a little bit clearer than mud (joke!).
