Why do markets frequently trade below the bid and above the offer?
I always wondered why at times the last trade in the YM sometimes trades one to two tics below the bid and other times one to two tics above the offer. I use Zen-fire and NT and it has never gone down on me btw. I tried CQG but it could never keep up on my end.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
