    Open e Cry

    1) Very solid, been good (knock on wood). When it goes out, ET will light up w/ posts. 2) Not sure why no T&S. I know it's been asked before. 3) Live is different from sim. Sim has it's own feed to my knowledge. I think OEC's sim is solid, but I do think live is a different feed. If...

    Help needed from potential emini trader

    1) Depends what market you are talking about. ES is the most liquid, so most likely to see less slippage there b/c there are plenty of traders/volume. 2) I like Open ECry's demo as orders are more realistic. It's not perfect representation of trading live, but pretty good IMO...
