I posted this question a few weeks ago and got a couple of
suggestions, but nothing worked. I'd really like to get this fixed
so I'm going to post it once more and see if anyone has any ideas.
If not, I guess I'll have to go back to my old symbol universe.
Thanks,
Gary
=========================
Omega's website has a Symbol Universe update for TS4 at
ftp://ftp.omegaresearch.com/pub/NEW4uni/universe.mdb . It's pretty
recent (12/16/98) so I figured it would be a good idea to update. I
was still running with my original universe that had old trading
times and other out-of-date info. So I installed it.
I'd made some changes to my universe, like changing the big point
value of SPX to $250 and NDX to $100, so I could run systems on those
symbols and have them simulate SP and ND futures. I made the same
changes to SPX and NDX in the new universe.
Now if I run a system on SPX, it uses a value of $250/bp just like it
should. If I change the SPX point value, the new value shows up the
next time I run a system on it. But systems on NDX still use $1/bp,
even though I've set the Big Point value to $100. As far as I can
tell the SPX and NDX symbol settings are identical, except for the
$250/$100 difference.
Any guesses why I can't get NDX to accept a new big point value?
Thanks,
Gary
