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

    • Date: 1st July 2024. French Elections Spark Risk Rally as Far-Right Falls Short! Projections show France’s Far Right Party will lead the first round of parliamentary elections. The Euro is the day’s best performing currency, increasing in value by more than 0.40%. European Indices soar! The Euro Stoxx 50 rises 1.85% and the DAX 1.00%. Investors turn their attention to today’s German Inflation data. Analysts expect the German Consumer Price Index to rise 0.2%. FRA40 (CAC 40) – French Elections Trigger Volatility And “Bottom Fishing”! By the market close on Friday, the French CAC was almost at its lowest level for 2024. Since Sunday’s elections, all European indices have risen and the French CAC trades 2.65%. Investors have bought the dip triggering a large price gap and a significantly higher price. Nonetheless, the price remains 7.00% lower than the index’s all-time high. The price is being influenced by three major factors; the upcoming earnings data, higher appetite towards stocks and of course the French elections. Following an exceptionally high voter turnout, the National Rally is leading with 34% of the vote. The left-wing New Popular Front is in second place with 28%, and President Emmanuel Macron’s Ensemble Alliance has dropped to a disappointing third place with 20%, according to initial estimates. Although the National Rally seems poised to secure the most seats, France could be facing a hung parliament and increased political uncertainty. Even so, technical analysis signals a possible correction upwards, and the market is showing a clear “risk-on” sentiment. The higher risk appetite is due to the far right failing to win a majority. Bottom fishing refer to investors buying the bottom! The risk-on sentiment can be seen across the global stock market. All European and US indices are increasing on Monday. The Euro Stoxx 50 has risen 1.85%, the DAX 1.00%, the SNP500 0.35% and the NASDAQ 0.40%. Some Asian stocks also continue to rise. Lastly, the VIX index trades 1.59% lower which also indicates a higher risk appetite. In terms of technical analysis, the CAC40 is attempting to establish itself above the 75-Bar EMA and above the 50.00 on the RSI. On smaller timeframes, the momentum is also forming bullish crossovers further indicating an increase. The only concern for investors is the resistance level at 7,729.48, which pressured the index last week. If the price forms a breakout above this level, the index will likely see buy signals strengthen. If the price retraces to 7,614.55, traders have the opportunity to trade the upcoming breakout. However, if the price falls below this level, the buy signal will no longer be valid for the time being.   EURUSD – Investors Turn Their Attention To The German Inflation Reading! The EURUSD continues to trade higher with strong momentum and has broken through the most recent resistance levels. The Euro is the day’s best performing currency with the index trading 0.40% higher, while the US Dollar is the worst performing. The US Dollar Index is trading 0.35% lower today so far. However, investors should be cautious about the price action seen so far as volatility can quickly change after today’s German inflation data. Analysts expect the German Consumer Price Index to read 0.2%, slightly higher than the previous month. If the inflation reading is lower, the Euro potentially can come under selling pressure. In June, the number of unemployed in Germany rose by 19,000, surpassing the forecast of 14,000, with the unemployment rate reaching 6.0% instead of the expected 5.9%. Experts highlight the weakness of the German labor market, noting that companies remain cautious about hiring new employees, which negatively impacts the country’s economy. However, today’s inflation data will be the main driver along with the French elections and a potential hung parliament. Technical analysis points towards buyers controlling the market and the exchange rate yet to obtain an “overbought” price. Currently, the RSI trades at 73.00 which means the price can rise a further 0.20% becoming overbought. However, this would depend on momentum. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Date: 27th June 2024. Market News – Asian Declines, Tech Sector Losses and Anticipation for PCE.   Economic Indicators & Central Banks: Several events are on the calendar which are keeping a cautious tone in the markets: Although tonight’s presidential debate is much anticipated, it’s unlikely to impact the markets as it won’t provide any real clues on fiscal or monetary policy. Asian shares decline, with US futures amid ongoing losses in the tech sector. Friday’s PCE chain price report has Treasury bulls sidelined for now and the run up in yields is tempering activity on Wall Street. Though expectations are for a benign report, upside surprises in Australia and Canadian CPI are generating some concerns. Chinese stocks are headed for a technical correction. The earlier rally that pushed Chinese equities into bull markets this year has been losing momentum due to ongoing concerns about an uneven economic recovery. Investors are now focusing on the Third Plenum, the July meeting historically known for significant economic policy announcements by the Communist Party. Asian & European Open: Wall Street rallied with all three major indexes finishing in the green. A bounce in tech boosted the NASDAQ 0.49%, back to 17,805. The S&P500 was up 0.16% and the Dow edged up 0.04%. Micron Technology Inc.’s sales outlook fell short of the highest forecasts, denting giant tech companies in late Wall Street trading. Asian equities declined on Thursday, with Hong Kong experiencing the largest losses as Chinese tech companies and property developers listed in the city fell. Significant contributors to the drop included electric vehicle maker BYD, travel agency Trip.com, and Tencent. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex was a big winner, climbing to a session peak of 106.130 before closing at 106.079, the highest since late April. A surge in USDJPY to 160.79, the highest since 1986, supported. Today the Yen recovered by 0.3% against the Dollar, to 160.29. Gold and USOIL prices declined, in part on the firmer Dollar. Bullion fell -0.49% to $2298 per ounce and USOIL slipped -0.2% to $80.36 per barrel. Always trade with strict risk management.
