OEC doesnt offer the same data feed before optionsxpress anymore. this is a matter of fact. just look at eurex/liffe futures. market depth used to be 10/20 ticks deep. now it is five. in adition get used to lags and filtered ticks and better do not scalp.
now i can't connect to it at all.... they need a better way to inform people if there is going to be some maintenance
I'm finally leaving OEC for a zenfire broker. Stinkin OEC problems caused me to lose a ton - 3 grand in just the last two weeks alone. I could have paid for CQG or X-trader for that much! I'm going to try Zen-fire / NinjaTrader with a guy I know from my league out here. I may regret this later, but I figured I'd give him a shot since he agreed to cut me a big discount. www.codexcommodities.com if anyone has any feedback they can give me? I guess I'll find out soon enough how good his service is anyway... and whether I'll be changing my league next year.
I have been thinking about opening an Amp Global account (open-ecry) trading ES... Have they resolved data-feed problems? Thanks.
i didn't experience a disconnect since last time. but data is not 100%. you will not see every tick or exact volume every time. so it depends on your style of trading.
