Update your S&P 500 Futures database and price library

Beginning October 6, 1997, the S&P 500 Futures contract (symbol SP, TPA name SP500.CDB) opened for trading at 08:15 Chicago time rather than 08:30. Beginning November 17, 1997, it opens once again at 08:30. In addition, the tick size of the S&P contract changed, after the close of trading on October 31, 1997 to twice its previous size, while the S&P contract was halved in size (preserving the dollar value of a single tick at $25). This requires that you get a new version of the commodity database for S&P 500 Futures, as well as a new price library which controls the display and interpretation of prices. You can do this by simply downloading and running the file below.

To install:

1. Download the file (SPUPD.EXE) by clicking one of the links above.
2. Run SPUPD.EXE. It will silently install the new-format S&P 500 database and price library

Note: Any files replaced by the update will be put in the BACKUP folder of your TPA folder.
