CBOT Data

[AndyS]

Effective December 8th, the CBOT began sending data on symbols; YM, ZD, DJ, & YJ in integers rather than 10th's. We were given advanced notice of this change by the CBOT, but our systems did not handle the change properly. We now have a fix for this and will implement after market close today and going forward the data will be o.k. Historical data for Dec. 8th & 9th will be fixed & rolled out to the servers over the next several days.

Thank you for your patience.

YM Data

Thanks for quickly correcting the problem!

Actually, I believe that the four digits is preferrable to the five.
I don't think the YM will be trading in 1/10ths, so five digits is not warranted at this level. Of course if the DJI goes over 10,000 then five IS warranted. Any way to have just the integers needed for the corresponding DJI show up?

I note that my quotes on IB show up as just 4 digits!

Also my data/charts in Metastock show up as just 4 digits.
