Quote from rickf:
I just sent OEC a note asking about their demo accounts. I've got a live and fully-funded trading account, but based on what I've seen, would have to pay $25/mo for a demo account even though I am a 'live' customer. I pray that I mis-read that, though.
A paper-trading account is crucial to my trading plans, and I am a bit taken aback that OEC would charge their 'live' customers to keep such a basic feature of a futures trading environment. As much as I appreciate their commissions and the ease of their trading platform, this might be a deal-breaker for me in using them as a futures broker.....which IMHO would be a shame, as I have come to really like their platform.
Hopefully I just mis-read things on their site about being charged for a demo account.
*grumbles*
Others have reported the $25 cost for demo accts, so its not a typo. A few wks back I sent them 2 emails to support@openecry.com. The first email was read and never replied to, the 2nd email was never even read. Gotta wonder what they're really doing over there.
