OEC Trader Upgrades

Recommended Posts

The most recent upgrade was applied to simulation over the weekend and I've been playing around w/ it a bit today.

 

So far I see the following upgrades/changes:

 

1) Market replay (need plugin from OEC's site)

2) Global cursor

3) Square and elipse shapes

4) Shapes can be transparent

5) Risk monitor (set your own 'shut off' point)

6) Can reorganize look of quote window

7) Roll forward and backward on charts

8) Copy and paste on charts

9) OSM order entry

10) New indicators (in samples menu)

Auto Regression

Fib Bollinger Bands

Ichimoku Kinko Hyo

11) Line number given when using custom coding (bottom right)

 

 

These are things I found today clicking around. A few of them were suggestions I had sent in, so it's good to know they listen to their customers. If you have a suggestion, fill out a support ticket (via the My Account section on their website) and send it in! It may not get filled immediately, but it could work it's way into the program at some point.

Here's the official release:

Open E Cry is committed to bringing you industry-leading technology. That’s why we are pleased to announce the latest upgrade to the OEC Trader. Version 3.3 will be released to our Demo environment on February 13, 2009 (and to our LIVE environment on February 27, 2009). This will be a mandatory upgrade for all clients and will include, as part of our goal to provide the BEST multi-asset class trading platform, fully integrated FOREX.

Now you will be able to trade BOTH FUTURES and FOREX in the simple yet powerful OEC Trader Software. In addition to FOREX, version 3.3 will include some additional innovative enhancements such as:

• Personal Risk Monitor

• An Advanced Order Staging Model (entitlement)

• Market Data Recording and Replay

• A Plugin for ESignal Data

• ...And Much More

As a Live customer, you will need to apply separately for a FOREX Account if you would like to trade FOREX through the OEC Trader following the upgrade to the Live environment. Further details on adding a FOREX account will follow.

Once again, you are a valued client and we want to make sure you enjoy all the benefits of OEC Trader Version 3.3 so don’t forget to upgrade when prompted.

If you have any questions, please email support@openecry.com or call 800-920-5808.

 

 

So I totally skipped over that OEC will be entering the Forex business now too. Quite a few have asked me about this previously and now it's here. I was told it was coming, and looks like it's here for those interested. I've emailed asking for more details on the forex thing so we'll see what I can find out.

Yes, the price is right that's for sure. I hope I didn't sound like I was complaining.

 

I talked to the guys at AMP and they didn't seem to know anything about the new upgrades, but I downloaded the new demo version and I can see some changes. Being able to copy a drawn entity is convenient.

John - I receive an email from OEC when new upgrades are coming and then look for them. That's how I knew about it. I'm sure someone at Amp is getting them, but maybe not relaying that to sales force.

In this thread we can discuss the new features when there is an upgrade to OEC Trader.

 

The official list can be found here on the OEC site but sometimes I've found things that aren't always easily found on the site.

 

 

I have downloaded new version on demo, but waiting for the live platform to be out next week I think.

I have not found a user guide to new version, is there one on the site?

I cannot find the replay on the new version and was looking for an updated guide.

Thanks for this thread.

I assume you downloaded the plug-in for the market replay.

 

If so, on the main window ( the one with all the account summary, completed orders, p/l, etc) select "File"--Plug-ins--Market Replay.

 

A little window will pop up. There is no data in there since you have to set it up to record live data. It's pretty slick. All data, including DOM's is being recorded, so you can actually put trades on the DOM as if it was live.

question for whoever has upgraded:

 

is there any issue with your imported personally written indicators.. I have a decent list of indicators written. Do they go over to the new upgraded platform automatically?

 

thanks

Frank - mine moved over in the simulation version. I had one small hangup, but it was a quick fix. For me, it was pretty smooth but that's not to say that will be a 100% guarantee for you.

I downloaded the new platform tonight but it is taking one hell of a long time to boot.. stuck on 'loading' --- anyone actually up on the live platform that can shed any light on how it went??

Let me be more specific --- the 3.3 platform did download and is live -- however, it loads without the imported indicators plug-in adn when I download the plug-in that enables your own custom indicators, the platform just hangs on the 'Loading' screen and never 'gets there' --- just stuck loading forever.

 

so, my question is -- has anyone been able to get the custom indicator download plug-in to work with the new 3.3 platform??

Ok here Frank - but - I have also had some troubles w/ that custom indicator add-on. In the past, I download it like the software says and then when I login it keeps saying you must download the plug-in. Which I do (again). And sometimes again and again.

 

My suggestion at 12:45am EST on a Sun night is either boot down the entire computer and try again, or contact OEC. No idea if someone is there now or not.

thx brownsfan,

 

so is your custom indicator on now (with the 3.3 platform)??

 

this custom indicator is absolutely crucial functionality for me and is a deal-breaker if they drop the ball on this one. I have tried their support people and got someone -- and told them they better get on this ASAP -- cause dropping the ball during a crucial upgrade is a pretty serious offense. Their best people should not be home sleeping. We'll see how it looks come the morning. Hopefully, they will have figured it out by then.

ok, will update this to both possibly help others and maybe be able to re-read this next time it upgrades to remind me of possible fix.

 

basically, the issue was that somehow the new platform could not read one of my new indicators (it had bug, though it worked in the last platform just fine). the way to fix this was to go into the 'My Custom Indicators' folder in your 'My Documents' folder and go into the sub-folder called 'Import' --- this is where OEC stores your indicators to re-load them... if you move your indicators out of this file, the plug-in then did load. you could then add your indicators back one-by-one until you figure out which one had/has the bug.

 

net net, not hard to do.

I downloaded 3.5 on the demo side and all I can say is WOW...

 

This upgrade is a HUGE upgrade. There's so much that I can't list it all here. I did see that stocks are integrated into this one and will be nice to see the final product (not all features are available just yet for stocks).

 

But this upgrade is a big one. If you haven't demo'd OEC or it's been awhile, download v3.5 and take it for a spin.

Holy balls you weren't kidding...

 

I love the symbol lookup! I wanted this feature for so long! the equities are awesome as well (I hope we all get data, not just equity clients!).

 

Seems much more polished overall to me.

 

Quote window looks soooo much better by just adding some additional coloring and lines to break up all the data. Cool equity stuff like the TRIN, TICK, etc... "Most Actives" filter... time and sales...

 

I'm friggin impressed. That being said i've managed to kill it twice with "Fatal Errors" but it remains running if you click "continue" and doesn't kill the entire program which is awesome.

 

Once they get the bugs worked out its gonna be a hell of an upgrade and I can't wait.

 

Anyone else spot any cool new features?

Maybe I am missing how the symbol lookup works. I am not liking the new one. The old way you could click energy, and then see all the different energy futures. This one shows me absolutely nothing until I start searching with specific names. I am assumming I just don't know how to use it yet.

    • re TikTok Recently metafakebook made what was apparently a move to stay aligned with ‘culture’ - no more fact ‘checking’, no more censorhip... basically ‘Zucker’ was shown that his mission was failing because they were only building profiles on ‘useful idiots’ instead of those who oppose the great centralization  (... just like long ago he only saw campus potential and had to be shown the promise and rewarded for fronting the great spyware and social engineering project called Fakebook)... ie they could have replaced him long ago In the same vein, who holds ‘title’ to tiktok doesn’t matter either... it will remain a spyware project regardless of who ‘buys’ it... and the data will forever be available to the CCP Just sayin’

    • Date: 20th January 2025.   The NASDAQ Rises As Trump Inauguration Edges Closer!   US indices increased in value for the first time after struggling for 5 consecutive weeks. Of the main US indices the NASDAQ witnessed the strongest gains (4.12%). Risk indicators point to a higher risk appetite under the new US President, Donald Trump. President Trump's inauguration will take place this afternoon and has promised to sign over 100 consecutive orders within his first week. NASDAQ - Higher Investor Confidence! NASDAQ traders begin to stomach less frequent interest rate adjustments, the market turns its attention to earnings and Trump’s presidency. Investors are becoming more bullish under expectations that Trump will apply policies to support the US economy and entice further investment into the US stock market. A "risk-on" sentiment is evident in today's sessions, reflected in risk indicators like the VIX, High-Low Index, and Bond yields.     Investors this week will concentrate on two factors. The first factor is Trump’s consecutive orders which he has advised will be signed within his first week. Investors will closely monitor how and if these policies influence the US economy and stocks. The second factor is earnings season, which will start to gain momentum this week. Tomorrow, Netflix will release its quarterly earnings report after the market closes. Netflix is the NASDAQ’s 10th most influential company and 11th most impactful stock. Analysts expect the company’s earnings per share to drop from $5.40 to $4.21, but for Revenue to rise to $10.11 Billion. If Netflix is able to beat the earnings per share and revenue expectations, fundamental elections would indicate a rise in the price. Over the past 12 months the price has risen 76%. A further increase would further support the NASDAQ. Thereafter, investors will turn their attention to Intuitive Surgical’s earnings report. Currently, investors believe the company’s earnings per share and revenue will rise compared to the previous quarter. Intuitive’s stock has risen by more than 9% in the past week alone indicating that investors believe the company will continue to beat earnings expectations. The company has beat expectations over the past 12-months. How are Markets Reacting to Trump's inauguration? Trump pledged to issue executive orders aimed at advancing artificial intelligence programs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). Analysts expect these two alone to support US stocks. However, investors are not yet certain to what extent upcoming tariffs will pressure the NASDAQ and stocks. During the previous trade wars, the NASDAQ fell by 25% over a period of 4-months. Traders also should note that the NASDAQ rose in the 6-weeks after Trump won the elections. Over the past week, the VIX index fell by more than 12% indicating that the market believes US stocks will perform well under a Trump presidency. Simultaneously, US Bond yields have fallen from 4.80% to 4.58% which is known to positively influence the US stock market. Both the VIX and lower bond yields indicate higher investor confidence as Trump advises that policies will prompt more employment, US made products and more pro-US policies. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis The price of the NASDAQ trades above the 200-bar Moving Average on a 5-minute Chart indicating bullish price movement. Moving Averages have also crossed over upwards and the price trades above the VWAP indicating that the asset is maintaining its bullish momentum. Price action is also forming clear higher highs and higher lows, but investors will be cautious if the price does not find resistance at the $21,637 resistance level. In order to break above this level, investors will be hoping for positive earnings data from Netflix and Intuitive.     Key Takeaways: President Trump's inauguration will take place this afternoon with promise to sign over 100 consecutive orders within his first week. US indices rise after 5 weeks of declines, with the NASDAQ leading at 4.12%. Trump pledged to issue executive orders aimed at advancing artificial intelligence programs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency. Analysts expect Netflix earnings per share to drop from $5.40 to $4.21, but for Revenue to rise to $10.11 Billion. Investors are becoming more bullish under expectations that President Trump will apply policies to support the US economy and entice further investment into the US stock market.

    • Consider: some 80% of small to medium-sized businesses around the world don’t have a website.   Many businesses in emerging economies rely on social media platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook) as their primary digital presence instead of formal websites.   But even in more digitally advanced economies, the number can hover around half.   Why? Simple answer: although we’ve made it easier to make a website, it’s still not easy enough.   Let’s say a yoga instructor wants to offer online classes but lacks tech skills or a budget.   Instead of struggling with confusing platforms, she tells her AI agent, “Set up a website for me to host yoga classes.”   The AI handles everything.   It integrates Stripe for payments, Zoom for live classes, scheduling services for in-person classes, and a chat module for inquiries.   It even suggests templates.   When the instructor picks one and asks for a purple and white color scheme, the AI updates it instantly.   No coding. No frustration. Just results.   And the best part? She didn’t have to touch a single screen or key.   This is the future Wilson describes in Age of Invisible Machines.   And, as mentioned, it’s powered by three core technologies:   Conversational User Interfaces (CUIs): Say what you need; the system handles it. From building websites to booking flights, it’s fast and human-like.   Composable Architecture: Traditional business solutions become “modules”. Like LEGO bricks, modular tools—payments, chats, scheduling—snap together to create custom solutions without starting from scratch.   No-Code Programming: AI agents code for you, empowering anyone to create without needing a developer. It’s not just a better way to interact with technology…   It’s a complete reimagining of how industries operate.   As Harvard Business School’s Marco Iansiti says, “This isn’t disruption—it’s a fundamental shift in production and interaction.”   And, the thing is…   It’s not just possible. It’s already happening.   Early examples are already here. – Chris Campbell, AltucherConfidential Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/ 
    • Question: My name is Omobola Sikiru from Lagos, Nigeria. I am mechanical engineering. Where can I find someone that can be my helper to relocate me to the USA?   Answer: According to your own profile, you are trying to enter other countries through deception and immigration fraud.   You are an engineer in Nigeria, but you are not licensed as an engineer in any other country.   There are no helpers, no sponsors, and nobody is going to give you money, get you an engineering job, or get you a visa.   You must qualify to immigrate. Nobody can help you with that.   Either you qualify and have settling in money, or you don’t.   You need to improve your English before trying to get a job in a Western, English speaking country. Engineers write reports. You wrote, ‘I am mechanical engineering’. Nobody will hire you if you write like this.
