The new BMI datafeed is quite an improvement over the old feed however there
is one aspect that I can't get BMI to change and wondered if there was
anyone that could offer any influence. That aspect is there are several
hundred stocks (all BB stocks so far) that have price denominators (PRDEN's)
of 100,000,000 and neither the 4.0 Quote Server nor BMI's own Market Center
5.4 handle values over 100,000 properly. The prior datafeed limited PRDEN's
to 100,000 which is more than adequate to accurately describe the price. I
don't know why they are so resistant to change except that it might mean
more work for them in the short term but if we can't get their policy
changed, there is no limit to the number of stocks that could be converted
improperly in the 4.0 Server. I don't know how the 3.5 server would respond
but it would be interesting to know.
If anyone has influence with BMI, it surely would be appreciated.
