Review of Open ECry (futures broker)

Recommended Posts

Is the subscription limit of 10 symbols correct? I just got my live account setup today and got the subscription limit message. I thought the 10 symbol limit was just part of the demo.

can any of you Ecry users help out. I am new user and have been struggling for 1/2 an hour trying to figure out how to change an indicator to a sub-chart (below the price chart). I cannot figure out how to do this simple chart adjustment.

 

In Easylanguage code you would right-click into the properties menu and check something to either be 'right axis' or 'same as underlying data'. But the EL editor in OEC doesn't allow you to do this.

 

help

 

When you apply a new indicator to a chart, in the bottom left corner there is a " create in new area" or something along those lines.

Tradestation required a downloaded plug-in -- VWAP wasn't a standard feature built in. So this was not just EL code -- so I doubt it would work. I don't have access to Tradestation anymore so I can't try it anyway --- but I really doubt it would work.

 

This can't be too hard to build. A cumulative volume weighted (O+H+L+C)/4) on a 1-minute chart would be decent proxy. I am not so great at coding stuff like this so won't attempt it --- but OEC surely has a few stud coders that could probably write some good efficient code quickly -- we just need to notify them that this is something we would like.

My review of OEC...

 

DOM -> Solid and fast

Charting -> Havent used it much but it does have a trade entry from charts.. seems basic but could be useful for chart traders

Platform -> Lightweight which is good imo

Reporting -> Rarely works for me.. lacks stats which is a big downside

Support -> Pretty good. They try but they don't always know the right answer. Never had trouble getting them to try though. I'd say support is above average.

Commissions -> About average at tier 1. They are good compared to the expensive brokers but many brokers are dropping their rates these days.

 

Overall: Very good but there seem to be many good options these day.

My message to Open ECry & Gain Capital & FuturesOnline.

 

The system has been down 10/15/14 & 10/16/14. This is how I earn a living. You need to make this right. Returning all commissions for the month of October would be a good first step right after you fix your product.

 

Feel free to send them a message as well. Their email addresses are:

clientservices @ gaincapital.com

info @ futuresonline.com

support @ openecry.com

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
