Re: DTN caught with pants down Sunday night ?

Yep! I talked to one of them this morning.  You can't get the good
ones on the phone as they are busy.  The ones that don't know anything
are available most of the time.  I had most quotes this morning but
the emini's didn't start until 8:40 CST.  No clue if it was them or
the GS.

Then again Tradestation sent me the new DTN file to solve my volume on
tick charts problem.  My Volume Problem.  Another tech with no
knowledge.
