Agree with you up to a point. I suspect, that the person at Omega
who is responsible for the data collection, has it as just an add on
responsiblity, with low priority given to it as it doesn't generate revenue.
This is real world corporate reality. Therefore, rather than fix bad data,
deleting it may be the only viable option. Don't know.
I don't know whats involved with fixing stock data problems, as I
don't collect stock data. Futures aren't a problem, do it all the time, and
even in TS3.5 its pretty quick. I guess to all the INTC traders Igor did
indeed do them a favor, but my point still stands. It may not be 100%
reliable, but Thanks Omega.
