| *We are currently using Day Session history for the continuously linked series we will be gradually replacing it with Composite Session data. The individual contracts have just a few weeks history. |
| Note: starting 4/24/08, our Composite Currency (AN, BN, CN, FN, JN & SN) update values were switched to Electronic Session values, however we use the CLOSE from the Day Session for the CLOSE of the Electronic Session as long as the pit is still trading (majority of customers prefer this). |
