Questions

Recommended Posts

Hi, I’m interested in giving OEC a try. I have a few questions from those of you who already use it. These would be my minimum requirements before even considering a trial of the platform:

 

1. Does the platform support range bar charts and sub-minute charts (10 second, 30 second etc)?

2. Does their data provide $Tick and $TickQ?

3. Is it possible to overlay one instrument over another?

4. How much historical Daily data is available?

 

I think I read in the wishlist thread that internals are not available but perhaps this has changed?

 

Thanks for any help

1) Range = yes / sub-minute - yes, I have a 5 sec ES up chart currently.

2) No.

3) Yes - I have a ZN on top of an ES chart.

4) Daily has gotten better recently as I can pull up daily charts now, which was not possible in the past.

 

Sorry that it looks like OEC won't meet your min requirements. Keep in mind you can take their data (which is free and there's a ton of live data available) and plug into MultiCharts and I think a few other charting platforms. Could save some data fee costs that way.

 

ZN and ES on same chart:

Thanks for the reply BF. I guess the lack of market internals really isn't a big enough concern to completely rule out OEC. Internals really are not all that important in my trading. I do, however, wish OEC had more historical data, but perhaps this platform in conjunction with Sierra Chart, or the other software you mentioned, could get the job done. I think it's worth a trial run at least. Free data is mighty enticing.

 

Thanks

the platform is built on modern C#.net --- I have done EasyLanguage indicators that require significant 'looping' -- I have found some cases where the exact same copy/pasted EL code runs fine on OEC and blows up tradestation. I am not a coding expert so I don't write the best code but I think this is interesting nonetheless.

 

OEC announced with last software upgrade that this was very major upgrade as they are gearing up to do equities (incld internals). I think its great -- though I think Tradesation is a good value too for historical data and internals and watching ETFs & particular stocks -- I just do the minimum trades at Tradestation and do everything else through OEC.

    • 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.
