Your problem has nothing to do with symbols in Server: two symbol universes are
independent of each other!

I did figure that out. Some quotes show prices in the 60 to 70 range and some in
the 0.6 to 0.7 range. I checked the BMI data and it is in the 0.6 to 0.7 range
while the Pinnacle data was in the 60 to 70 range. Yesterday I did get the
script that allows the Pinnacle data to be in the 0.6 to 0.7 range so all is
well.
The confusing thing was the on-line help for Big Point Value in the Omega Server
which refers to the Price Scale and seems to imply that it figures into how the
system uses the Big Point Value. That is not the case. The use of the Big Point
Value seems to be independent of all other settings.
The suggestion by Chris Baker to make sure the Server updated symbols helped
eliminate some of the inconsistencies I was seeing.
It would be nice if someone had a clear explanation of how all of the settings
in the symbol universe are actually used by TradeStation.
Thanks to all who replied.
