Bye-Bye IB, Hello Open ECry?

Quote from larrybf:

TORTOISE.......... prior to the fed announcement lag , have you had data lag problems ???? [/QUOTE


Never had any data lag problems with IB . During the Fed announcement, too, they were spot on -- like a metronome -- compared to TradeStation, which was a mess from my end.

I couldn't have functioned yesterday without I.B.'s steady-eddy data feed. It is the one thing that makes me reluctant to leave I.B. That's why I'm curious about OEC's data feed.

No problems here with OEC's data feed during slow, normal or fast conditions. I don't use their charting, as I use their data into Multicharts as well.

Anyone have any problems with OEC data speed yesterday?

I've used Open E Cry for 2 months now. I like their DOM alot and have had relatively few problems. I also run TT's X-trader next to OEC and OEC is just milliseconds slower than X-Trader. OEC tells me they throttle their data to update DOM 6 times a second. Later this year they will be releasing "unthrottled" data which can only speed things up (if your computer can handle it). X-Trader is unthrottled.

Yesterday 10-30 mins. or after FOMC announcement, I did experience a few times where ES DOM "froze" for a couple/few seconds. I had never experienced this before. I use eSignal charts and they kept up just fine. I don't use OEC charts at all so can't comment on those.

I'm this close to making this switch. Anyone else done the same? Care to share your feelings about Open Ecry, especially, perhaps, in comparison to I.B.?

(P.S. I don't need to trade every free market on earth)

Thanks...

ask Timmay, scorpion. It's only $50 for 30 minutes, I am sure he can give you some insight into good platforms.

Ninja/Zen was a least 30 secs behind IB's dom at the open today. It didn't correct for at least 20mins
