TS2000i does it for you. If you go to "Format Symbol" there's a tab
that has a "Universe" button. If you click on that and enter your
root symbol there and click "Find" then the symbol is found for you
along with all the other characteristics like point value.
I must make another point: Don't compare yourself to TS2000i
and think that's good enough. You can do BETTER. That's why I
suggested more things in the database that are user-configurable,
like margin requirements for each symbol. Especially if WL does
portfolio analysis (which TS cannot do), you need an easy way
(i.e. a database) to distinguish the different futures contract
characteristics, so that the program will work properly.
