Are you sure you can't ADD a symbol to your GS portfolio from the CALC
exchange to match-up with the proper statistical symbol from DTN ????
Also, Hard to believe you can't write an indicator to capture the difference
between the last bar of the previous day and compare it to the current bar's
values !!!.
I don't use TS for intraday trading, but can't you address the final close
of the previous day ?
