Omega Data Refresh and Globex



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Is anyone else having trouble with refresh data off the Omega web with
Globex data?

For some reason, the data (for the S&P) stops about 5-6 pm eastern and
begins again at midnight.

Do I have the symbol set up wrong or is the data off the web site
incomplete?
