Jim,
I may have missed something, but why do you go to "Universe"? I have a
Prophet data disk, start a new chart the same way, but don't use the
"Universe" button and it works fine. Is there some reason you are using
it? Using the format data icon is the way to change it. You don't need to
mess with the settings.
I think what you are seeing is on the settings/universe screen under
securities the program "says" Circuit City. But the data is Cocoa, and
that is the only screen/window the name appears. I get the same thing.
When I use the forward icon I get the next contract month of Cocoa. And it
is Cocoa data. The Prophet futures CD doesn't have stocks. When I use the
British Pound, in the security box on settings, it says British Petroleum,
but it it the BP. My chart says BP. Just a name thing. Ignore it.
The only time the incorrect name came up on my chart is when I mess with
something on the universe window then go back to the chart. Then it will
show the stock name, but once I scroll to another contract and then back it
is fine, and shows the correct contract name.
If there are several particular contracts you want, rather than searching
for them each time, make a custom list, then you can scroll using the
fwd/rvrs icons. That's what I do when there are particular contract months
or securities I want to back test.
Hope that helps.
Mike
