I'm not sure you can collect them - I don't have any Ticks - just today's values.  You
cannot even have an ELA save the values to disk once a day because T/S Charting cannot
display values for the symbol.

@SCC and @SPC, called the Call and Put "Short-term Trading Index" are the only symbols in
this general category I have collected data for.   There are similar Short-Term Trading
Indices for stocks, e.g. for AMEX it is @SSA, which also collect ticks and therefore has
daily values.
