TotalView doesn't begin distributing quotes until the actual market open.. at least that's what I see from my broker. It does show the opening/closing imbalance.. not sure how indicitave that is, but could be useful.
That's strange. The opening imbalance data is really only useful before the open to see the pre-open imbalance and/or gauge where the stock will open, but if the data only starts being disseminated AFTER the open then the opening imbalance info is pretty useless at that point i think. Does it show a "likely opening price" during the pre-open and a "likely closing price" near the end of day? A screenshot would be great if feasible.
I meant the quotes only start streaming at open.. the imbalance data comes before. I don't have any screenshots as this is only available via my broker's API and all my stuff is algorithm based.. no gui.
