<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I feel &quot;squeezed&quot; by Omega Research. 
The reviews that I have seen so far about TS2000 are not all favorable. 
Tradestation 4.0 is limiting as far as real-time data providers, does not have a 
Y2K fix yet, is slow (imho) and pricey compare to it's features.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>The age of the internet is here. A lot of the 
features that we require as professional traders are now being offered by 
internet companies for a lot less money and most are FASTER than our 
cable/satellite providers. In other words, our industry is changing and unless 
we keep up we will get way behind.</FONT></DIV>

I have tick by tick data for all of t-bonds and sp500 from tick data
corp on a cd. I know how to process it with their Tracker software in
tick format for each individual contract, for use with Tradestation. 

The thing that I could use some help with is this:

I want to process the data into daily bars, all into a single,
continuous contract file. For instance, I want to be able to pull up a
daily chart of the t-bonds from inception (4/1/77) to now, in
continuous contract format. I think I am close, but am still missing
something in the process. Can anyone offer some insight?
