Dear Mr. Campanella,
I apologize for the confusion. You will NOT need to rename your indices.
The
symbol will be converted from the DBC Signal name to the BMI symbol name
prior to the data getting to the BMI receiver.
As stated in the bulletin, some index symbols will no longer be transmitted
while new index symbols will be added. The symbols that are no longer
transmitted may be deleted from the charting application and the server
portfolio. The new symbols will need to be added to the Symbol Universe and
then to the portfolio should you want to track them.
Sincerely,
Melody A. Blais

Very important, of course. I converted several years ago
from Signal to BMI. Many, if not all, TS/Signal symbols (for
indices) contained the dollar sign as part of the symbol. I
specifically recall deleting those when I converted.
Consequently, I would have to presume that the dollar sign
is an integral part of the new symbols.
