Just wanted to give a little update here on the OEC front - in the next release and a few after, they are implementing some changes/fixes and additions that I was providing feedback on. Here's an important thing to note - if you contact OEC with some suggestions, they will listen to them. It does not mean everything you suggest will be done, but these guys are listening to their customers. Since I have provided feedback to OEC, I was told that our discussions found at least 3 bugs that have been fixed. I recently submitted a 9 page feedback of the dom and charts and a good portion of these are being included in the next release and the one after.

Also, for those wondering about TraderDNA, the last email I received said this is progressing and DNA's programmer is trying to write to OEC's API. Whatever that means. Just looks like progress is being made.

Up to this point, I've never had a broker and software program that were so willing to actually listen to me. The problem in the past is that many brokers have outside trading softwares that they use, so there's only so much each can do on their end. You can make suggestions to Ninja or whatever, but then you also need the broker to be on board with some suggestions as well. Now you have 2 co's that have to agree to work on something simultaneously... Not easy to get done. With OEC, since everything is in house, it's much easier for the charting guys and the execution guys to talk.
