and here we go again.... :(((((

I didn't have SC loaded for 03.25.14 to 03.28.14 and therefore I needed historical data to load for those days. I adjusted my historical data files for 6A,6B,6C,6E and 6J yesterday, 03.29.14 to the new pricing format in anticipation of the change - e.g., I price adjust using a multiplier for 6E of 0.01 to "correct" all my historical data to the new format.

This evening I load SC and once the markets started updating the pricing formatting is correct but I can not delete/download data for 03.25.14 to 03.28.14. Please do NOT tell me to DELETE ALL data and download. I do not want to delete all my historical data. All I need is historical data from 03.25 to 03.28

We see how OEC has changed the currency futures price format.

This was a last message we received from them about this:

I can let you know when the release date is announced. It has not been officially set.

Since then we did not receive any notice that there was going to be a change. We will do our best to get the adjustments done my morning. But we cannot make a promise on that. We should be able to get this conversion done by the end of day Monday though. We need at least one day notice.

We are just hearing about this now.

We have done adjustments for the popular currency contracts for the June contract month, just now. If you try to re-download the data two or three times you will hit that server and get the correct data.

Thank you for the quick update to the historical data. FYI, OEC sent out an email on 03.24.14 to customers stating the upcoming change after the close on 03.28.14. Apparently you weren't privy to this info?

No. We did not receive that message.
