"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email
"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

Hi, I'm trying out the 'Sample DDE Spreadsheet' with the Futures exchanges.

I can succeessfully download streaming data using symbols from all exchanges EXCEPT :- COMEX (globex or floor), NYMEX (globex or floor), LME, DME.

All of the other (20-25) exchanges are working fine.

I am obtaining the symbols from the symbol download tool on the website.

For the afore-mentioned exchanges I get 'Invalid Symbol" errors for every single symbol (looking at futures only).

What am I missing?

thanks

The Nymex and Comex exchanges charge a fee for either the real-time data or the delayed data. Please contact the sales or service staff to resolve this.
