Just want to add my frustration to the discussion on data....i have dial data
and over the last two days the futures have been a waste of time....i download
35 futures every day and a dozen on each of the last two days have been right
off the map......
imagine my surprise when i saw tbonds march fell to 111.00 and cocoa march
went to 705 and silver march went to 750....er...wait a minute silver actually
did go to 750...okay so they got one right...
this is totally unacceptable...data is our lifeblood...whats the point of
trading dependant on what your computer says if the data is incorrect....
I will be calling dial data today..they dont seem to care...but i will give it
a try...
will update the group on what DD said....
i think by monday i will be able to update the group on what Telescan does to
open a new account..
Frustratingly
Rick
