Re: Tracking Nasdaq stocks 24/7

Beyond a few hours pre market and post market, there really isn't much going
on the NASDAQ in general and Level 2 in particular.  Omega is probably
passing through the level 2 data you request in real time so you should be
getting the data.  Bid/Ask/Trade ticks are coming from their servers, and I
guess they crop the data at the beginning/ending session times.  But as you
go several hours pre/post session, there isn't anything to see.  Often times
what you see are distortions in level 2 in terms of the bid and ask tiers
because there is no market going on and nobody is there.  Only shortly
before and after the trading session you will see activity as ecn's line up
and make markets.
