Open ECry Wish List Thread

Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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.

 

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.

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.

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. :helloooo:

 

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'. :doh:

 

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.

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....

So what does this have to do with OEC?

 

You know that OEC is in Ohio, right? :doh:

 

Your request is documented on my end. If you want more, contact OEC yourself and see if you can push it through. Just a word of advice - if you are trading a 1 lot account, don't expect everything to be dropped for you, ok? ;)

 

I'd like to keep this thread on topic, so please let it be.

Hi guys,

I'been using OEC for a couple of month and I dont know how to get a continuos contract plotted,can anybody tell me is this is posible?

Sorry for this kind of question,I'm newbie and have not experience on EL,but I've been trying to paste and copy some indicator codes from tradestation(OEC said it should work)and just doesn't.

Does anybody have done something about it,like Value chart,squeeze or something else?

Thanks

BF - If you are doing another submission soon could you place on it a request for OEC to integrate with Investor R/T. OEC integrates with various 3rd party softwares but I R/T is not one of them. I have mentioned doing so to I R/T, would you be able to submit it to OEC (sort of get them all surrounded!)?

 

Thanks

Here's a few things I would like to see:

I regards to drawing tools:

It would be nice if you could "clone" a trend line, copy and paste it rather that have to draw a new one. Most charting programs have this.

 

It would be nice if there was an option to erase all drawn objects. Right now you have to go through and delete each one, which is a real pain.

 

If you have a trend line drawn at an angle and you try to zoom in, the chart flattens out, rather than keeping the trend line at roughly the same angle. Very annoying. You have to delete the trendline in order to get a decent looking chart.

 

An indicator I would like would be one where it puts a little line at the highs and lows. I think Ninja calls it a price channel. I think tradestation has something like that too.

 

Those are the things that have been bothering me the most since I started using OEC charts.

It's there, you just haven't found it. Here's how:

I need a little more explanation on this as I do not use trend lines.

This also already exists. Was one thing I requested awhile back.

 

Go to:

 

INDICATORS > CHANNELS > DAILY HIGH/LOW

 

From there, you can set what times to use for this.

Thanks for the response. Nice to know I can erase those old lines.

The price channel showing swing highs and lows would generate a chart that looks like this:

JH%20chart1.gif

 

Those red and blue dotted lines are made as the chart moves forward, just marking the last swings. Just handy to have sometimes for reference. I don't see how this can be done with the "Daily High/Low" box.

 

The "Flattening" out can be illustrated like this:

 

Here is the normal chart with a trend line drawn:

JH%20chart4.gif

 

As we zoom in, it flattens out:

JH%20chart5.gif

 

Here is the same zoomed in image with the trend line removed:JH%20chart6.gif

 

Not a huge deal, but can be anoying at times.

Another simple drawing tool that would be nice is to be able to draw a simple circle.

 

Thanks,

John

Here's a few

 

Make rapid indicator wizard have logical functions (if, or, and, else, while) etc

I played around with the rapid indicator wizard today it is not very useful without logical and recursive functions. I thought maybe countif or summationif would help me for logic but I couldn't get those to work at all.... Give rapid indicator time of day and date functions, as well as daily, hourly , minute price references.

 

Make an auto-breakeven stop option like ninjatrader has

 

Make auto exit order type that closes order at market if a certain amount of profit has not been seen within a specified amount of time

 

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.

    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
