Data Notification
Options on Commodity Futures

Notification - April 2004 - Logical Information Machines (LIM) has secured redistribution rights for options data on selected US and UK commodity futures contracts. The data is available as an end of day service and will initially cover simply the exchange quoted option premiums for puts and calls. The source of the data is FT Interactive Data, Inc. LIM's future plans include adding calculated implied volatility data as well as other derived option calculations.

Please see the following spreadsheet for a list of the FT Interactive data displaying the symbol, exchange and description.

Other Category Symbol Relocations

LIM customer databases have all recently been upgraded to 4X MIM versions. One of the benefits of the 4X platform is that certain previous restrictions on the location of data in the MIM tree have now been removed.

As part of our ongoing desire to keep your MIM database up-to-date and make the data more accessible to users, we now intend to move the following categories from the "Other" category to new category locations:

TopRelation:Other:G7_Economic
TopRelation:Other:WorldCurrency

Will move to the following category locations, respectively

TopRelation:EconomicIndicators:G7_Economic
TopRelation:ForeignExchange:WorldCurrency

This change will take place: April 26, 2004

Customers will not see any difference in symbols or columns, just the parent change in the hierarchy. The only likely impact would be if an XMIM query referred to the entire relation of the data in the old category path or any sub branch of the data. If queries refer directly to symbols, they will not be affected.

If you have any questions about this intended change or its impact, please contact our customer support desk at:
+1.800.546.9646 (U.S) or +44(0)207.553.2639 (Europe) or email: support@lim.com.
