OEC Histogram, Faulty Volume

Recommended Posts

I’m just reporting that the histograms in the charts and DOM did not reset at the opening for the major futures symbols, so if you relay on the histogram for your statistics or as a volume price study it is a big concern as you could think being in a middle of the value area whilst actually being in the low or high value area. I did report the fault to OEC; hopefully it will be fixed quickly.

23:51 ESZ9 total volume is 47678, the DOM reports 517794 and the span is huge as reporting volume prior 15:30.

Volume is an issue in general. Just compare total volume shown in the DOM and what is shown in the Quote window. You will find a difference of 10 to 30%. This is because of their datafeed that filters "some" ticks.

Hi garak, you right the Total Volume in quote and in DOM should be the same, I always notice a slightly difference, this time it is a lot more sinister, as I write the DOM is reporting 158780 instead of 11147, (the Excel DDE feed is affected as well) the graphic in chart histogram is misleading, that is why I felt the need to warn the fellow trader as the histogram is a good indication to monitor the price action, if you are not aware of the fault it could result in bad decisions.

The ZN did reset OK but the ES is still crook, the problem should be fixed soon, in the meantime check if the figures match.

Do you have any idea if they fixed this issue? Eurex used to be wrong by something like 60%

Have you guys emailed OEC to see what they say? If not, try it out.

 

I e-mailed them several times. It was a few months ago. No I wonder if they fixed it.

No need to bother them. Please do this favour and check if the volume in OEC Charts equals volume in OEC Quotes, as shown in the screenshots I posted earlier.

 

Thanks

My charts are shut down for the day.

 

I emailed them and asked them to take a look at the thread.

brownsfan019,

 

Did you by any chance had opportunity to check the volume?

All they will tell you is "we are working on it". At least they are aware of this issue :)

 

Thanks garak. Therefore I am assuming that the issue is not fixed. This is a pity because I wanted them to be my broker, because I liked their trading application a lot. Having tested their demo however I decided to wait till the problem of volume is gone.

Hi Garak,

 

There is one thing I do not understand. The volume shown in OEC Quotes is the correct one. It matches 100% the volume reported by the exchanges.

 

The volume that OEC shows in other items, e.g. in their data feed is completly wrong. Why can't they simply apply the correct volume from Quotes to other items :confused:

 

It should be an easy programming task to do.

12-4-09 Update on this issue

 

I got some answers on this. Here's what I was told:

 

  • CME implied pricing is the reason for this difference.
  • The data received from the OEC provider does not conform to both of these CME sources (CME total volume and CME time & sales).
  • They are actively working to fix this.

OEC is aware of the issue and I asked to be kept in the loop as to when it may be fixed.

[*]CME implied pricing is the reason for this difference.

Accidentally you didn't talk to ChrisM, did you? What has CME data to do with Eurex traded Fgbl? :)

Any deadline / EPA for fixing this issue? 1 month / 2 months / 3 months / 6 months / 12 months?

You will never hear any deadline from them. I would expect this issue to be solved in a matter of days. But "actively working" seems to be a very flexible term :roll eyes:

I told them about this issue 8 months ago and they told me they would start working on it in a month from then. So, this makes 7 months of OEC having worked to solve the problem.

 

I hope they are finishing now :D

12-10-09 Update:

 

  • A fix is scheduled to go into the test (api.openecry.com) environment tomorrow evening.
  • If all goes well then next Friday this fix will roll to SIM.
  • Then one week after this it will go to PROD.

That's the most recent info I was able to obtain.

    • 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.
