Bob,
I'm ancient history on DTN as I quit in August or early September.
You can use fill in data from Esignal or other providers if you use
the new free HyperTools converters. They work really well but it adds
a few steps to get the data in. They will convert a future symbol to
a stock symbol or index symbol.
Best regards,
Jimmy Snowden
