Our feed supplier is intermittently and spasmodically sending us quotes for the INDEX:INDU symbol that tell our server there is no decimal point in the quote, when there should be two decimal places. The values are _correct_ but off by a factor of 100 to the high side. They have acknowledged the problem and are working to correct it. For our part, we will "filter" all the bad trades so that the charts appear to be correct. An alternative chart for the Dow Jones Industrial Average that looks better on a chart is the symbol INDEX:DJX - the cash symbol for the CBOE options on the DJIA. This, however is off (by design) to the low side by a factor of 100, but the chart, at least, looks as it should. -- Gibbons Burke
