StatsWell, I am a bit discouraged on this
issue. I got a little note in the mailtoday saying they now had the
individual breadth symbols that we all knowabout from last week. We
also know that Chameleon and Ensign see thesesymbols and data, but the
TS2ki Global Server will not see the data becauseof the way DTN has the
symbol string formatted. I called one of their techsupports last
week about the fact that the GS could not see the data andwhy. The
tech took a note. Then today I called the guy who sent me thesymbol
list. He wasn't in so I talked to another knowledgeable and
friendlytech guy. He understands what I am after and he knows that
the data isn'tformatted for Omega. He said something about, well,
the data wasn't mean'tto be formatted in the Last field. So, I told
him that DTN has lots ofother calculated indexes such as P/C, Trin, Tick,
etc that Omega can displayso why not these new symbols. After all,
Chameleon and Ensign don't needthese new symbols and their creation at the
Omega users request anyway. Heagreed with my logic but still wasn't
encouraging and said its a softwareissue(pointing fingers at Omega).
So, I said look, there is no good reasonwhy your ticker plant guy can't
accomodate the omega users. I have 4 monthsleft on my DTN
subscription and I and some other TradeStation users areseriously
considering switching to an alternative feed if DTN isaccomodating in this
matter. So, take this down and pass it up to yoursuperiors. In
the meantime I am going to write a complaint on each monthlystatement that
DTN is not accomodating to subscribers. Additionally, whenTASC does
their annual review I will make note of this in the voting. Oneach
monthly statement I am checking the "poor" box for type of service.So,
bottomline, I don't know if they will help us out. I have also
writtento Melody at Omega, as I have her email and phone number for the
openinterest problem. She hasn't responded on the breadth
symbols. Well, I'vegot 4 months to make up my mind. I can live
with using MetaServer to get mybreadth data, but it really is not a clean
way to go. DTN needs to beresponsive, and the only way is if current
subscribers keep hounding themand if potential users call and say, "hey I
won't subscribe unless you havethe data in readable form." They can
do it, and they know how to do it,beats me why they don't do it.
They have done half the job by creating thesymbols. I've seen all
the symbol formats in the back of the Chameleonmanual and I've seen the
data flow from Chameleon to MetaServer using aDDEspy. I know all
they have to do is change the symbol format for thosenew symbols and send
an appropriate Process code. God, it could be done
inminutes.BobR----- Original Message -----From:
