Openecry vs Others - Speed and Features

D

danger66

I was thinking of getting an account set up with Open E Cry. I like the platform, but have been a bit spooked by the problems people have been recently having with connections/disconnections, etc.

I do like the Block Allocation feature of Open E Cry and would like something similar if possible - as well as DOM and ability to fire orders on one click and change orders quickly when needed.

A few people have mentioned TurboAT and Transact. Agree/disagree? What other possibilities?

Which of these platfors provide access to institutional pricing without leasing a seat or anything like that?

Another desired feature is financial stability of the firm offering the platform and a reliable phone trade desk.

Thanks and sorry for all the questions.
 
Infinity,TA,Pa all offer AT

www.ampfutures.com offer oec (globalamp 30 day demo) with 2000$
account minimum and two another good platforms

AT and direct(CTS T4)

You can search alsov mirus futures ....

Sorry but all three platforms oec,CTS T4 and AT are .net based ,
need downloading of 22mb .It is source of instability .


Better to have 3 accounts ,broker and clearing house ,each with 2000$,
as one with 6000$

For active accounts $100K+, are the answers still the same? OEC told me that for $100K+ accounts they start at 1.90 including exchange feeds per side for ES (i think the exchange fees are 1.15) and that they're willing to lower that down the road if you're active. On which platform/broker will I be able to minimize this (without sacrificing reliability)?

Just quoting part of your comment above: ......"(Without sacrificing reliability)?"

Right now if you go with OEC YOU SACRIFICE RELIABILITY ..... simple as that

If you read the Openecry Commissions thread you will see traders say they have lost money because of these tech issues ..... do you want to be in that category?

The reliability of OEC may/will change at some point .....

Until you see comments on this site confirming that OEC have stabilised their platform I'd stay well clear......

If you're daytrading futures, I would avoid OXPS -- I got burned several times with horrible fills (90 mins one time on a market order) and very unreliable data and charting since they integrated with Brokerxpress last December.

See my other threads on OXPS for more feedback -- they're great for options and stocks, and have great customer service, but on the daytrading side with futures, I don't trade those there anymore....I went with OEC.

Jim, Amp Futures offers a white label version of OEC's platform. I have been told that they only license OEC's software - and provide their own servers and technology. Does this mean that Amp customers wouldn't have necessarily experienced the same technical problems that direct OEC clients did?
