Caution: NASDAQ vs. BATS Data Differe Widely #EBAY #NASDAQ
Friends,
I won't post this one on Twitter. Just a quick editorial note here as an analyst, to alert you, the trader, and bring your attention to the fact that some EBAY charts produced on this site have widely differing data. One Ebay chart I just came across has data originating from BATS, whereas the one I have here has data generated from NASDAQ, yet both charts have been posted on this site.
If you clicked the right upper corner of the chart under a BATS data-generated chart, you will see a WARNING about the source of the data. In essence, it mentions that BATS data have fewer and less precise price updates, and that NASDAQ data (for Ebay), as well as NYSE or AMEX data are available under a "PRO-Real Service".
Just wanted you guys to be aware of this quite drastic differential.
Cheers,
David Alcindor, MOD
