  1. Horrible , OEC is a toy

    Yup. Today OEC was very bad.
    To be fair, almost every retail feed has one problem or another.
    At least OEC can blame it on the Fed!
    But seriously, this is why it pays to subscribe to a 3rd party like IQF.
    IQF has saved my ass more times than I can count, not specific to any one broker or Fed events.
     
  3. Pre fed or post fed ? Didn't even mess with post fed stuff. ES was fine beforehand . No bad fills
     
  4. OEC is just for swing traders
    I have never seen a data feed so slow

    Ugh, seriously slow. YM Chart is still at least 30-50 points behind the DOM and its 13:15.
     
  6. I use all limit orders above (sell) or below (buy) the market and they appear to be hit when the price touches them without a lag. I just went to the website to see if any announcements...what is futuresonline? My software still says OEC, what am I missing?
     
  7. I remember a company called FuturesOnline from the late '90s/early 2000's. It crashed and burned like AOL's dial-up internet business, so I really hope this is a different company and not someone trying to bring an unsuccessful throwback brand back to life.
