Thanks for the clarification. I'm surprised that I have never noticed this effect before. If most other sources use the mid price then perhaps T2W should also. It would smooth out the swings as noted here - it is odd to have the Change Today figures contrary to the profit calculation. I suppose...

.. and 2 hours later, having had it show as -4.5% for a while, it's now showing +0.63% whilst other sources agree it is actually -0.5%. What is happening? Does anyone have confidence in the T2W prices? Ale

There have been many questions about the T2W price feed - here's another one. Just logged in to add to my share comp portfolio and noticed that one stock I bought yesterday (NOP) seems to have fallen. Bid 57, Ask 61, Open 59 are all as expected from checking with other sources. BUT it also says...

No, just leave it as it is, thanks. I'll be more careful in future. Do check that the epic works though - just tried to search for Rolls Royce, RR, RR- and RR. but drew a blank. Clicked on the RR- link from my portfolio history and got the correct Rolls Royce so something still not right. Ale
