Re: For S&P traders using MS Pro 7.0

Lynn,

If it has been corrected, then I'm obviously doing something wrong.  I
just did a complete uninstall/re-install of Metastock Professional 7.0.
As soon as the install was complete, I deleted SymbolDatabase70.dta.  I
used "Update Symbol Database" to retrieve the latest file.  What I found
is that the S&P start/end time is still incorrect, as is the start time
for Lean Hogs.  Live Cattle might also be incorrect, I don't recall.
Also, it would be kind of you to include symbols for the S&P 500 E-Mini
and the NASDAQ E-Mini in the next update.  I have manually
corrected/created what I need.

Regards,
Ken
