"Make it possible to link separate windows to one another, meaning that I can move one window and the other will move with it, minimize and other minimizes with it, restore and the other will restore with it."

 

Just realized there is already a way to do this, you can dock any window into any other, COOL!

 

Check out my setup now!

 

p.s. just left POS (thinkorswim) today, moving to oec for the obvious reasons

I really HATE how OEC's DOM works. It's fine if you just use limit order. If you use stop order, chance are you left click on on price and your order were executed. The reason is left click is set to limit order regardless where you click on the DOM. What in the world are their developers thinking? Why would anyone want to place a buy limit order about market price (sell limit below market for short)? That's a market order. If I want a market order, I would just click on buy/sell market.

 

I hope in the short future they will fix it. I have used few other DOMs and OEC is the only one action this way.

That's funny, I love how OEC DOM's work. If you want to use a limit Left Click, Right click for stop. Not really understanding what is so bad about this. If i remember correctly, trying to do a stop-limit in ninja required to push the scroll button, not exactly easy. Not to be so critical, but is it really that hard to distinguish left from right?

Chris,

As I said via pm to you, there are 2 reasons for this:

 

1) There's reason to submit a limit order above/below

2) Right clicking sends a stop order

A simple breakeven function would be nice.

 

Maybe I did not figure it out yet, but as far as I can see there is only the possibility of a manual move to BE by clicking the button (which creates an extra order - no OCO?) or to use the trailing stop function.

 

What I want is just an function that moves the stop to BE (+1) after x amount of ticks in my favor.

Check the strategy builder option to see if this can do it for you. Might need to call or email OEC if you run into problems.

Two requests that should be easy:

 

1. Change Price Format in DOM

 

- In the Quotes window under the OEC Trader display, there is a feature that allows you to change the format of the price display. For example, the default display for Corn futures (ZCZ8) is 4.0825 . One can change the format to display the more common 408 1/4.

 

- However, this feature is not available in the DOM (I called support, and they confirmed it's not there). So, my Quotes screen displays 408 1 and my graphing package displays 408 1/4. The screen that I really need clarity on (the DOM) displays 4.0825. That is a sub-optimal solution, especially considering that this feature is already available in the OEC Trader software in the Quotes screen.

 

 

2. Market Data

 

- It would be enormously useful to be able to see the Dow Jones average levels without having to open up a second trading platform. I don't have a need to do Research or Chat during my trading time, so the two windows at the bottom of the default OEC Trader setup are useless to me. How great it would be to have a streaming Dow quote right in that Research window. That is exactly the research I need.

 

- Market internals ( TRIN and TICK) would be an added bonus. Just a Dow Jones or S&P quote would be a great leap forward.

 

 

Thanks for facilitating this thread,

I believe that I tested it out so far, but the problem of the trailing stop for example is that (obviously) it would move the stop according to the parameters set.

 

What I need is a strategy with a build in breakeven stop, which I afterwards would like to trail discretionary. This option I did not found so far.

Currently there is no option to do this, I called support and asked. I also agree this is something they should add, using a breakeven stop is the best way to trade imo because it will lock in your profit asap. I am transferring to OEC and should be set up by Tuesday I hope, once I am officially a customer I am going to make the request that they add this feature.

That's what I did this week - entered a position, got 1.5-2pts in my favor, hit B/E plus one tick and then managed the trade.

 

Overall pretty happy w/OEC this year.

- I'd like a better way to zoom into the charts, currently the + and - zoom buttons are not fine enough and usually it zooms too close or too far. It would be nice if we could just drag over the selection on the chart and it would zoom in to that exact space (much like Prophet charts).

It's not exactly what you'd like - but hold shift while scrolling on your mouse as another way to zoom in/out.

I'm not sure what you are refering to, but I was not able to find the apprpriate tool there.

 

Even the custom statistics report is not helpful. Is there a way to customize this a bit more.:roll eyes:

 

Email OEC and ask what you are looking for, not sure if it's there or not.

Agree 300% with this. In fact I called them about this - they agreed that they currently do not have. It is completely annoying to open up another data/trading package just to see market internals

I've requested this and have been told it's on their list. The one issue w/ internals - tick, trin, etc. - is that is NYSE data and OEC (prior to the OX acquisition) was a futures exchange data firm. Maybe w/ the OX acquisition the internals could be pushed along.

I would really like the possibility to include drawing objects when constructing custom indicators.

There are many indicators that I am missing, which are written in EL codes for tradestation, but simply do not work in OEC. Indicators like dynamic support resistance lines, automatic labeling of HH/HL DT/DB and so on..

You can plug OEC data into Sierra Charts. probably the lowest cost option till OEC gets TS.

A few things to wish for:

 

The simple ability to copy and paste a drawn entity, trendline, text, etc.

 

The ability to draw a circle or square.

 

It would be nice if there were some way of having a workspace set up like you can do in ninja, having a set up of charts and save the screen configuration as a workspace and then be able to change workspaces.

 

I like ninja's ability to have a "global" setting on the charts so that as you mover the curser on one timeframe, the other chart, (with a different timeframe) automatically moves to the same point in time.

 

Just a few thoughts,

 

John H

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
