Removing "Root:Futures:options" category
from the MIM

LIM Data Warehouse - Effective 3/14/2003 - As a service to all our clients, LIM provides Implied Volatility and Historical Volatility data for futures in the MIM database. This data is located in the MIM as a column of the Futures series to which it applies. For example, to see the Implied Volatility and Historical Volatility of NYMEX Natural Gas:

SHOW
  1: ImpVol of NG
  2: HistVol of NG

Subsequently, the Futures Volatility data has also been loaded into "alias" symbols for every contract. Each "alias" symbol is the original contract with an "_OPT" appended to it. For example, the query below would also return the same results:

SHOW
  1: ImpVol of NG_OPT
  2: HistVol of NG_OPT

In order to eliminate redundancy and any potential confusion, LIM will be removing all of the "_OPT" alias series on Monday evening 3/14/2003. These series are located under the hierarchy in Root:Futures:options.
