Why?

[Brommie]

Decided to take profit on my CML shares and to buy back at a later stage. On the page 'pending orders' (or in my case my selling order) the current price of CML is listed different than the actual closing price. The current price mentioned on the 'pending order' page is also much lower than the last 30 trades. Why does the price on the 'pending order' page do not agree with the price on the 'quotes' page? And why does it not agree to the last traded price on the 'trade' page? Surely the prices on these pages should be the same – it is after hours and the market is closed.

pending order page = trade status page

Live(quote page) and delayed(order status)?

Your explanation is acceptable for when the market is live (open). I think that after normal working hours, when the market is closed, the delayed prices should catch up with the closing price.
