Now I'm being told they feel they have isolated the problem and will have a new software release tomorrow afternoon to fix it.

I've been told multiple times that it only affects a few people. I don't really believe this to be the case any more.

I was disconnected earlier this afternoon for about 30 seconds or so. I got booted again about 5 minutes ago and still no reconnection. :mad:

It happened again about 20 minutes later. I'm flat now and probably won't trade the rest of the day (market is dead for the time being). It isn't as bad as it has been but it isn't fixed either. I chatted with them this morning after it happened. Looks like some people have had the issue...

I spoke too soon. DOM froze and reconnect notice popped up just now with open positions.

So far so good, we will see if it can keep it together now going forward.

I've been gone most of the day but I did get a call from OEC around lunch time. I was told that not many people were having this problem (I'm just lucky I guess). They did something to the firewall and/or firewall hardware. He indicated he spoke to someone else who was having the exact same...

I've had a lot of disconnect problems this morning too. I told them I will not place any more trades until they have this fixed. They are to check things out and call me back. In the mean time I'm surfing the net looking for a new broker. The thing that pisses me off if they said they are...

Still having freezing problems today. A serious lag in the data and placement of orders as well. I called them and was told there are exchange issues, not OEC issues. I have another broker and haven't seen any data problems there. Anybody else having data problems today so I can verify if...

I was just told by OEC via chat that the problem with the DOM freezing has been fixed. We will see when there is real volume tomorrow during regular hours.

I've never heard of that but I just did a search and found this: http://www.videosift.com/video/Baby-got-WACC

For $2 a pop you can download them from Amazon.

I've only been trading the bond futures for several months now. I can't believe the severe drop off in volume/liquidity since the tick change. The moves are much more jerky than they used to be. Not sure how I feel trying to trade these going forward, will probably need to adjust my strategy...

I'm glad to find out it isn't my system or internet system. My old laptop died last week and it had somewhat of a stalling problem (I think I noticed it after the software upgrade). I got a new one up and running this week and found the same thing so that got me thinking it may be something...

I received an email from OEC about the stalling DOM issue: A few clients reported the similar DOM Freezing issue. This issue is caused by a random signal drop from a third party company between us. The 3rd party internet company has been notified and it is currently on top of their...

I tried to chat with someone but no response yet. I just sent an email, we will see what they say. The dom keeps stalling when I put in orders. I just closed the software and restarted it. I put some orders in away from the market just to see if it froze but it didn't. I'm done trading...

I've noticed a lot of stalling lately with OEC. I just upgraded to a new, faster computer and see the same thing. Not sure what is going on, sounds like it might be me.

Looks like everybody rolled over to the new contracts on ZF, ZN and ZB without me, that is where all the volume went. I had my charts stuck on the last contract, no wonder they looked sickly.

Looks like liquidity is way down on the dom. Has been like that yesterday and today since the change. ZN and ZF appear to be experiencing the same thing. Lots of spikes and gaps in the fills, just look at the charts on about any short time frame, I'm not liking this change so far.

Having never traded any options on futures (just on indexes like SPX, SPY, etc.) I may be off base here so correct me if I am wrong. Does it matter that much what the margin requirement is when your risk doesn't change? I understand you want a lower margin so you can possibly take larger...
