Exactly - This is what was proposed here at the list: add symbols to the
Global Server either as Stocks or Indices, but not as Futures, as Global
Server has a bug with electronic futures
and the charts of these contracts are not usable in realtime - all because
Global Server does not expect trade volume to be coming from the data feed
for this category, so it redraws a chart on every tick causing very problems
for the user.
Stocks and Indices does not have this problem, so it's a good trick to
create a new Index or Stock symbol with a name of Futures contract and do
not have any problem with that.
