I noticed a change and started getting an error that says I don't
subscribe to ARCA. That is happening on many, if not all, of the ETFs
I follow. If that seems to be your problem add a new symbol using the
format symbol-ISLAND- STK, e.g. IWM is now IWM-ISLAND-STK. If you want
to dump the data for the old symbol I have a export program in the
AFL library that will dump all the symbols to a csv file. It detects
the period of the chart and can be used for eod or intraday. If you
dump intraday make sure you set AA to the period you want, like 1
minute. You will need to use Excel or some other spreadsheet program
to change the symbol name before you import the historical data to
the new symbol.
