hanz - I like MultiCharts myself, but demo each out and see what you like best.

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.

Thanks for the info Brownsfan. Good stuff. You're right, OEC definitely seems to be a different animal than we're used to hearing about.

i requested for the demo today but unfortunately the software couldn't access the server. What i'm really impressed is that their support team spent 3 hours troubleshooting it (however with no luck...)

Hi there, I'm just trying OEC Trader demo and I am amazed at the speed of executing LIMIT orders. Can you please tell me whether it's also so fast with the live account or whether it's only that fast because it's demo?

I mean with the OEC demo the execution of limit order is often instant, sometimes couple of seconds after the price hits the target value. While trying demo of zen fire with ninja trader from Mirus Futures it was waaaaay much slower and sometimes (pretty often) the limit order wasn't executed at all (because the price moved before it was executed). Tested on the same market (ES), same time - one next to each other.

How fast is it with the live OEC account? Any experience is appreciated. Thank you.

Tried to find some videos on YouTube but wasn't successful.

It's only because it's the demo. The demo is merely a marketing tool; once your limit order is touched in the demo it is executed. Live version is not so optimistic about your fill.

See the thread that Brownsfan pointed you to for more.

I thought so. Thank you.
