Yep. Real OEC trader data is dead. OEC Trader Demo data is working, though. Weird.

I'm flat (thank God!). All has been down since 10:22am CDT. Just got off phone with customer service at 10:50am. Their tech support is working on it and she expects things to up soon. In the meantime, I'll just have to be content to count the trades I miss...

OEC has been rock solid stable for months now. Too bad they have taken a big step back today. I hope they tell us what happened.

does this happen often?

Yup-DOA
Just so people know,the service and stability is usually top notch. More so than I see with posts about other brokers reliability.

Ditto.

Seems like the OptionsXpress folks have taken over their new acquisition.

So sorry to hear that. I thought they got the act together a few months ago after that last snafu. I was actually entertaining opening an account there. Trade Station, Trans Act, now OEC again. Will a reliable broker please stand up?

Disclaimer- I have been doing this long enough to know that all brokers have problems from time to time, but c'mon OEC and Trade Station seem to get complaints a bit too often.
