That esignal symbol thing is a problem. Sometimes I have to delete old
symbols by hand if MS doesn't remove them.
However, if that were the problem, then once the list hits the point
of cut off every symbol after that would have the error, and it's not
happening that way. Sometimes it's only 30 symbols out of 500 and the
next time it's 70 out of 100.

back. They never did anything about it. What happens is that MS does
not cancel the old symbols that are no longer being used. In other
words even if you only have one symbol up in the charts, MS never
sends a "cancel" to esignal to cancel symbols that are no longer
needed to be updated live. It's not being updated in the background so
it doesn't need the symbol but since it never sends a cancel order,
esignal just keeps it up live and you quickly build up to the symbol
limit.
