are those not coming from one source ? can you explain in more detail (or maybe i am just not awake 'yet')
We have two trading environments, Demo and Live. The live showing the ECN plus any customer limit orders placed VIA LIVE ACCOUNTS. While the demo is showing the ECN plus any limit order placed in the demo environment. Since the two don't interact, they will never be identical. Customers in live might have more limit orders placed between the spread, therefore the spread will be tighter than that in the demo.
