Re: Tradestation Strategy Report Problem....

I assume this is using TS2K. Doesn't TS2K have a trade by trade
report? In TS4 you'd just look at the individual trades and see if
the numbers make sense. As far as Symbol Universe errors from Omega:
expect them. I've seen basic things like the Dow or currencies with 
incorrect settings in "updates" a year after the initial release.
