I already know that a 'static' dom is not available in futures due to patent infringements with another well-known product. I've asked for a static dom numerous times but OEC's stand is to have a somewhat static dom to avoid patent infringements. In order to have a static dom, an additional cost would have to be passed on to the customer.

Thanks BF - that was going to be my 'easy' request - we are obviously thinking along the same lines, I find that moving DOM very frustrating indeed...be good to get an indication of what the extra cost would be, could be worth it?

Honestly, I don't think OEC even wants to go there. I'll ask again to see if they would consider allowing the customer to decide for the extra cost. I know I'd pay it for a reasonable fee. If I recall (all from memory) it would be an added cost, per round trip, per contract - example: an extra 10 cents round trip, per contract. Doesn't sound like a lot when broken down to pennies, but it can add up quickly.

True ... but then again I pay for a bottle of Fly Spray cause I am not adept at swatting them...

Time & Sales and a Market Replay function would be nice...

BF - while you say that a static DOM is probably not a go - what are your thoughts on the chances of getting one-line static DOM, just the best bid and offer that change without scrolling - see attachment.

Good idea Mr Ed, will put it in my review! This might be a way around the patent thing.

The only issue will be for traders that use limit and/or stop orders... For example, if you want to place a limit order to buy 5 ticks below current price, how could you do that? Or place a stop order once filled? Or a buy/sell stop to enter an order?

What do you think?

OK - will have a think about those and be back.

Hey BF:

I am test driving OEC and overall like what I see. But it's still surprising that some basic infrastructure systems are not in place.

How about an ACH setup for account funding transactions? After all, primary functions of a trading account are to put money in or take money out. It is not a convenient thing for me to head down to a bank during banking hours (also RTH). The $25 wire fee is a miniscule but annoying bit as well. I may not visit my mailing address for months at a time, so checks are also not convenient.

I'll make this suggestion directly to OEC. The inclusion of this request in your review would be apprepriated,

Thank you,

Bam-Bam
