Re: premarket quotes

Hi Bob

I have tried to move session end time forward like you
did, but it didn't help. I am getting post market
data, but prices are overwritten with closing price of
the day. Volumes are ok. 
I am using esignal. May be it's the problem.
Please let me know if you have changed any other
setting to accomplish collecting correct post market
data.

thanks
ed
