Facebook stock has been out for some time now, lots of options trading, etc. When I try entering the symbol into my OT 2010 (prereleaese 5P) it won't accept it. My data feed is from Worden; this appears to be the only symbol giving me problems.
I suspect there's some database somewhere I need to update or download. Is this true?
Otherwise, what can I do?

If you have placed a symbol in your focus list and OmniTrader is still not displaying data for it, then you may just need to toggle the data settings off/on in OmniTrader itself. To do this, open OmniTrader and click on Edit-> Data Settings -> switch your datafeed to None and then click OK. Next, return back to Edit -> Data Settings -> change your datafeed back to the data source you rely on (TC2000, eSignal, Omnidata, etc...) and click OK.

At this point OmniTrader will remap the entire focus list to use the data source you selected- and the problem should be resolved.

Best Regards,
