Re: Open ECry Wish List Thread

mostly wishful thinking, I had a chance to talk to the 'top' guy asking him for displaying of volume in 2 just 2 colors, he said thanked for suggestion that is what he looked for in feed back. Guess what? that was about 2 months ago and don't even think about sending in any suggestion, it is like a bottomless pit, I never get any reply for any suggestion.

Just b/c your ONE suggestion was not immediately implemented does not mean OEC does not listen. A new update was installed today and a few things I have provided to them have been implemented. So far, I have seen:

1) Snap mode on lines
2) Text on lines (custom and value display)
3) Weekly pivots
4) Monthly pivots

That's what I saw just glancing through the update that came through today.

So, yes, OEC does in fact listen. Perhaps your request was the ONLY one asking for this; therefore, the level of importance is one customer. If other customers are requesting features, majority will win most of the time.

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.
There are people that have successfully challenged TT (e.g. E-SPeed) . Personally I think how they tried to strong arm the industry was shabby in the extreme. For smaller guys its easier just to roll over I guess. Seems clear to me that it is patent misuse (though as things stand this has not been ruled).

I agree BF. Currently OEC offers a 'delayed' static dom where the dom does stay centered but only recenters every few seconds vs. constantly static. I guess that's there way of getting around this issue.

Re: Open ECry Wish List Thread

Hey OEC users - I am wrapping up my review/suggestion log shortly, so if there's anything else you'd like to see, please list here. I am going to go through this thread again before sending.

While something you suggest may not be implement instantly, that does not mean your request is falling on deaf ears. Sometimes it's a programming issue. I've requested a number of things that sound good to everyone but require some serious programming that takes time to implement. Other things are rather simple and can get implemented much quicker.

Thanks!

Re: Open ECry Wish List Thread

Hey Brown I had a quick look at OEC site looks quite nice. I understand AMP have a new platform that looks very similar was wondering if that was the case.

I have been messing round with Ninja & Zenfire thats pretty impressive though a few things irritate. Isn't there always. Guess OEC is next up.

BF - not sure if AMP is a white label of OEC. Very well could be.

Ninja is nice as well. Paying the extra fees for the Ninja/Zen combo just wasn't worth it to me once I settled into OEC.

Here's a few other things that OEC implemented in this new release that I had asked for:

1) Buy Bid/Sell Ask buttons directly on DOM (incredible time saver if you use that type of function)

2) Customize right/left click buttons on your mouse

3) Type directly on chart to change contract

========================= ========

A few other things of note:

1) RSS news feeds
2) Market Delta plug-in
3) Custom indicators through easylanguage compatibility

-------------------

So there you go. That's just one minor release from OEC and there's a ton of stuff in there.

BrownsFan - thanks for asking for feedback from us and then compiling the suggestions into your submission, I appreciate all the work you put in to doing this, and I am sure other OEC users do too.
