JIMO - that thursday was the FIRST active day of the MARCH (h8)
contract, thursday morning was STILL the DEC Globex contract - NO
MARCH GLOBEX at all, in contrast to regular S&P which had MARCH
trading long time before already.
That FRIDAY session (i.e. after close of reg S&P Thursday afternoon)
was the FIRST day for GLOBEX MARCH - mightbe thats the cause for the
combined symbol for BMI - I had/have no problem with DBC, which uses
2 independant symbols for S&P (SP z7 ~> SP h8) and GLOBEX (WP z7 ~>
WP h8)
Pasting in a single day or so of S&P does NOT lead to any meaningfull
loss of data while still being ONLINE. If you have SEVERAL contracts
to PASTE IN I would do it in pieces, i.e. one by one, to give the
server the chance to collect and write some ticks down again in
between.
Hope that helps..........
