The move has been pretty much straight down for two hours, no consolidation, and has just started to bounce. Let's see how strong the bounce is before getting out the crystal ball!
I use OEC also and have been underwhelmed by their customer service. Today I was trying to place a trade premarket and it rejected my order because my account would have been -$182,000 (no idea where they were pulling these bogus numbers). I used their online chat to figure it out. After almost 20 minutes they said to try again and it finally worked. I missed out on the drop after the jobs numbers but tomorrow is another day I guess. I have had the same problem you describe. You sit there and wait and wait and wait not believing your eyes wondering what is going on. They told me to close the software and open it back up, that did the trick for me. But those moments seem like hours waiting to see if your orders went through. I do like the DOM, the low commish, free software and the $500 daytrade margin. They do need a good upgrade on customer service though.
Looks like OEC is having more computer trouble today: 11:11 AM General Any trades called to our trade desk will be entered in your trading platform. We are in the process of entering these orders now. 11:47 AM General We are having to reboot our CME connection machine 11:47 AM General All other exchanges are fine 11:48 AM General This CME will be re-booted therefore there will be no prices or no orders while it is restarted 11:48 AM General The CBT for YM etc
You mean the sharp move off the LOD 1453.75 up to the old LOD of 1459.50 ? Did you see that as a trend reversing move? I see you bought after the move. (looking good )
