	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.

No prob MrEd - anything that makes the software better can only help all of us, even if you don't use it at that time.

Here's more feedback for ya

Show custom price format from quotes on DOM.

I like it that charts show in the custom price format from the quotes.

However the DOM does not.

Also, how about OEC fixing their risk parameters to allow stop and target brackets when an order has been filled.

If a customer is close to margin, the OEC platform "might" accept the order, but reject the bracket (stop and/or target) when filled.

This leaves both OEC and the customer at greater risk. Think about it.

I dont think I even want to know how you figured this one out.

All it really takes is a third of your maximum margin overnight, for example, to do this.

Since the full margins are in effect overnight lately when trading even the ES, you can imagine the rest.

It's a PITA that needs to be addressed once and for all by OEC.

And adding a custom price format to the DOM would be a nice touch as well.

No problem.

Pull up a quote. Change the custom price format on any contract. Check the charts and the DOM. Observe whether changes, if any, have been preserved.

Take soybeans, for example.

Say it's quoted for May at 13.4475 - dollars and cents.

Open a chart and you'll see the same format for the price. Ditto for the DOM.

Now change the custom price format for this contract to show the price in cents only.

This means changing the decimal format to 0.00 and multiplier to 100.

So instead of 13.4475, it'll show as 1344.75.

Now when you open a chart, the new format will be showing on the price axis.

However, when you open the DOM the old (default) price format still shows.

Give it a try, and you'll see what I mean for yourself.

P.S. The tick value ($12.50 for soybeans) remains constant no matter what you change the price format to.

Nice. Not even 5 days go by and 'any update'.

Allow me to explain my part in this thread forsearch - I provide feedback to OEC 3-4 times a year with suggestions, ideas, etc. Your idea will be submitted the next time I submit my review.

Which means, still time before I submit it, time for them to review it and IF they proceed forward with it, a little more time.

Proof that good help is hard to find in Ohio these days, apparently....

You just expected a company to drop everything and do something that one person asked for? Who knowns, maybe they'll do it. But to expect it to be done in a week or two is crazy. Yeah, they are going to release a new version of the software with one update because you asked for it. I don't know what kind of companies you are used to dealing with, but don't you think its absurd for you to be asking for an update already? Apparently not....
