FWIW people. I just passed along info about BMI box from someone I know.
It seems some people complain about things and I was just informing them of
a solution. Ask for my private email to that person. I never offered that
I could or would do this. I just informed him that it could be done. Here
I'm responding in private and now the whole world knows. Some people just
don't get it. I personally use end of day data for trading.
