Re: Why bad realtime results?

This happened to me several times.  I asked Omega about it and they said, 
"restart the computer."  I wasn't too satisfied with that answer, so at the 
time when Omega had more than one person in tech support, I asked someone 
else and this person said, "export the symbol and re-import it into the 
Global Server."  I called again and another one said, "close the problem 
chart and re-apply your symbol/indicators/systems to a new chart."  That 
seems to work, and I have to do that every now and then.

This is why I had to keep buying more computers so eventually the ones that 
receive real-time data and generate the signals are hardly touched.
