Rightedge uses the OEC API and should support all of its functionality. haven't gotten too far into the project.

No charge for their API or excel add in ...
Rightedge is licensed though.

They have a really good excel sample worksheet for pulling feeds and processing orders. Feeds are subscription limited to 50 instruments by default. For full otion chains you'll need to call them and they'll up your subscription.. Excellent Support.

Single instrument Feeds into excel running side by side against TT are pretty much in sync for our purposes (milliseconds). TT RTD and OEC DDE technically is a whole other debate.

So far we are very pleased with OEC and specifically their API and autotrading tools.

Unfortunately RightEdge doesn't yet support backtesting of tick data. Smallest resolution is one minute.

Thanks for your time and wisdom here. Very interesting. Just curious, when you watch the Level II and T&S, you're speak of the FX Future contract or the FX Options on Futures data? Or both? Just curious since you said you trade mostly FX Futures Options on CME.

Clearly as you said the downside is minimized, but also as you noted the strikes are very wide, it is impossible then to buy one at the money correct? So by "know what you're doing" does that suggest you need a better understanding of where the direction of the underlying is headed in the short term? This would suggest that CME FX Options are not a good target for scalping, or am I mistaken?

Can I ask what broker and data provider you're using to trade?

Many thanks again,

Snacky I fully agree with you.
