  1. 49.75 is the last trade price
    49.70 is the bid
    49.80 is the ask
    5 is the bid size... always mulitply by 100 with this so 5 = 500 shares
    150 is the ask size 150 x 100 = 15000 shares.

    5_49.75 is the last trade sold was 500 shares at 49.75
    4_49.76 was the trade before that 400 shares at 49.76

    :) Simple right? :)
     
  2. for the first 49.75, why does it not have size? Or is it the same 49.75 with 500?
