OEC Questions

Recommended Posts

Oh, I see. I shouldn't worry about putting my money at a company with compliance issues. Thanks for the advice?

 

You shouldn’t. Unless you let your broker make your trades for you, which is what the complaint is about. Is OEC responsible for people who mindlessly follow some else’s advice and then complain that the broker (IB - not OCE) just wanted their commissions? Sheep get lead to the slaughter.

so is oec any good or not?

 

OEC is not TT or CQG but it gets the job done. I use the money I save to buy Sierra Chart/IQ Feed and use OEC to execute. There were problems in 2009, but things have been pretty stable for me since then.

PS:

 

I also have a good relationship with my IB that predates OEC. You will probably get better customer service if you go through an IB.

so is oec any good or not? i know browns fan should change his name to oec fan, but anyone else.....?

 

i had a look at their web site and i must say they do offer a lot for the money. its almost too good to be true IF they data and software is reliable and fast.

 

and we all know what they say about too good to be true.....

 

Maybe I'll ask MMS to change my name. LOL

 

Not sure why OEC seems to good to be true. They are good at what they do and you don't have to take anyone's word for it - - demo it for yourself! Demo is free for 2 weeks I think and I'm sure you can ask for an extension if needed. Get the demo and look for yourself. Don't trust anyone on this forum till your own eyes see it.

 

Here's what I know - if OEC had problems, this forum and ET would light up with complaints. Anytime there's an issue, both forums (esp ET) light up with complaints. There hasn't been any issues for quite awhile. If there were, I have plenty of vultures on this forum just waiting to pounce on OEC and me. You'll note that those vultures have not been around for a long time. For some reason they disappear when things are running smoothly. They are only there to jump all over OEC and me when there's an issue, but never to be heard from when everything is running perfectly.

OEC is not TT or CQG or T4 for that matter. The only way you can see if OEC can work for you is to demo it. And even if their platform is not capable of what you need, you can still take that free data and plug into MultiCharts and other platforms!

 

I was paying $500/mo for T4 before moving to OEC and have not looked back. You can see on this forum that was years ago, so that has to say something. If OEC was crap, I would have left a long time ago and just went back to T4.

 

As for best service, I guess it depends what IB you use. I go direct to OEC and never have any problems, but at this point I really don't need much direct customer service.

 

IN THE END demo it for yourself and see what you think. You can use the entire suite from OEC - platform, data and DOM - or you can take that data (save the expense of buying data) and plug into another platform and just use their DOM.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
