Re: BMI Changes - INDEXES

Apparently some of the BMI index symbols HAVE changed for the Omega server!
Yesterday several symbols that I collect, including @cco, spx, oex, ndx,
and xau simply stopped coming through. Other symbols are coming through as
usual, and these same symbols (with a $ in front of them) are coming
through on the Universal Market Server.

I tried changing oex to $oex in the Omega server and that didn't make any
difference. Oddly enough, these symbols still collected EOD yesterday.

Anyone know what is happening or how to fix this?

Thanks,
David Cicia
