Hi don,
I know, but if it is not very convenient to stay there and wait every
symbol , save and reenter AB again .. 20 times for example.
Using backfill al RT symbols option I can easily back fill all the
symbols I put in the RT windows, up to 180 days.
But with 1 year AB closes .. as you now.
Anybody else is experiencing the same?
Thanks
Ly
