For those of you Quote.Com supporters out there take a look at CL00M on a daily chart... I can pretty much guarantee you that the daily low on 10/18/99 and 11/10/99 wasn't $0 [...] if you want a rock solid quote system, S&P Comstocks digital satellite feed, XpressFeed, is about as good as you can get (it costs about $500/mo, and interestingly enough, S&P Comstock is Quote.Com's uplink data provider) Is it your hypothesis that the daily lows on CL00M for 10/18 and 11/10 were correct from S&P Comstock but zeroed by quote.com? This is a rhetorical question, of course :-)

The lack of a reset from S&P caused it. If you want to see what happen, put in 390 rather than daily. I have yet to run into anything I am interested in with bad quotes. But if it was on daily, I would simply use 390. The corrections can only be made on weekends, it supposely is a labour intensive project.

Hi all, CL00M has been corrected. "...despite notifying the folks down at Quote.Com several times." This is the first report we have seen regarding this particular symbol... make sure you send any data related issues like these to data@quote.com so that they can be handled on a timely basis. We are working on ways to automatically filter the zeros appearing in the daily bar charts for futures, but for now they have to be done manually. The fix itself varies per situation, so sometimes it can be a matter of a few clicks and others are more involved. We have yet to find any code on our end that is inserting these prices, so most likely they are being sent to us from S&P Comstock (this has yet to be verified.) Why they don't show up on Comstock's historical database is most likely because they record the information differently than we do.
