A Question on Pricing...

I know what the bid/ask/last prices represent, but in Think or Swim, these prices are completely different from the prices show on my candles. What gives?

For example, right now, at 11:00 AM, the pricing is as follows:

Last...784.75
Bid.....784.00
Ask....784.50

But then my candle is showing 786.25. What gives? What price does the candle represent?

 

Error.Sorry.

 

I appreciate that you're apologizing for my candles, but it really isn't your fault...

 

Call whomever takes your money and provides you the garbage.

 

I'm using the free Think or Swim platform and don't have an account. I was wondering if there was something I didn't know about pricing, but the problem is most likely that I don't have a real account. Thanks!

simple, they're bid/offer is live and their charts are delayed if you have not funded your account...I called once and that is exactly what they told me since they for some reason have no way of making the ladder be delayed...

 

Awesome. Exactly what I was wondering.
