You beat me to the punch in consulting the official word...the Server
manual. There is no telling what forgoing the morning update may do to the
stability of the server and charting programs. Pierre says nothing will
happen. Comments from anyone other than Pierre? Miles Dunbar? I consulted
with Omega's technical department when Jim M. first proposed this
workaround, but Omega does not recommend it.
I also know that to impliment Jim's suggestion would require manually
updating all of the futures and options symbols in the portfolio...a task
as tedious, or more so, than the bad tick block editing procedure.
I agree that this is not a responsible solution and may be dangerous to our
trading health as well. So, in essence, we are back to waiting the the Y2K
patch for TS 4.0.
